I follow a number of fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and their card challenges for inspiration in my paper crafting. I’m always planning on entering the various challenges, but invariably I seem to miss the deadline, or just can’t quite pull the desired look I want together. This weekend has been one of my “definitely on” times, […]
Birthday cards
#imbringingbirthdaysback – oh yes!
This year, Shannon West from Stampin’ Up! home office decided she was starting a campaign called #imbringingbirthdaysback. And now a lot of us are following along with her. Of course, you’ve probably noticed all the birthday cards I’ve been making and posting in preparation for my own #imbringingbirthdaysback (and all other card giving occasions!) campaign […]
Something old turned on it’s side becomes new!
Several years ago there was a template that made a shirt or tuxedo for masculine cards. But lately there have been a lot of cards using this template with the folds turned to the side. I loved the original idea and made several “guy” cards for the men in my family. And now here’s my take on […]

Soft colors – perfect for this girly birthday card
I’ve been talking about all the birthday cards I made up 2 weekends ago to build up my “stash” for upcoming birthdays. I took all my cards into work last Thursday to show several co-workers who also stamp the fruit of my labors (BTW-nice pun my sweet hubby said. We do research on getting kids to eat fruit […]
The Big 6 – 5 birthday for my brother-in-law!
Saturday was my dad’s 89th birthday (see his special card here) and my husband’s brother’s 65th birthday. Glad it’s him and not me (ha-ha, but not far behind!). I made this card for one of last years SGGW weekend challenges and I’ve been saving it for a special birthday. I figured a 65th birthday was special enough […]
WOW – Yesterday was my dad’s 89th birthday!
My dad turned 89 yesterday and here’s the card I made for him. We celebrated last night at my dad’s favorite restaurant in Austin, The Driscoll Grill with my husband’s brother who also has a birthday today and his wife. Today we’ll have a family brunch. He’s always says he’s celebrating the (he inserts the appropriate #) […]
Back in the saddle again, as the saying goes!
It was so much fun to get a chance to finally spend 2 days crafting (in between dealing with weird computer issues again. At least I have internet!). I had been sketching and clipping tons of new card ideas over the last 3-4 weeks that I wanted to create. Decisions, decisions, where to start first? I decided […]
