Now that the craziness of the holidays are behind me, I finally got back into my craft room this past weekend and had fun creating. I wanted to break open my “By the Shore” DSP, since I haven’t used it yet, to create a few cards. I’m down to the wire to get my last minute card in […]
Celebrations
Merry Christmas everyone!
Everyone! May your holiday celebrations be merry and bright and safe with family and friends. And to all a good night! See you next year!
Happy Thanksgiving to all
I just want to take a minute this morning to wish you all (or in Texas speak – y’all) a Happy Thanksgiving. As you celebrate the day, be thankful for all your family and friends who are here with you and also already gone. I hope it is a day of peaceful celebrations for the wonderful life you share with […]
Happy 65th Birthday to a dear friend
Tomorrow is a dear friend’s 65th birthday…so glad she got there before me, makes me the “baby” of the group again for several months! Our group got together for our annual fall dinner several weekends ago, but I didn’t have her card ready. Then I remembered last night that I needed to get her card in the mail today…oops! […]
Stitched From the Heart for the Holidays
Not only are stitches a classic trend, they illustrate the quality, precision, and extra care taken when creating a piece. Giving a stitched gift shows just how much you value that person. Now you can make paper stitches in seconds, turning any project into one that is stitched from the heart using the new Stitched Shapes Framelits. And […]
Retro Way to Go!
I was so pleased with yesterday’s card I knew I had to try another one using the Paper & Ink Sketch #7. This time I used the “arrows” from my retired Retro Fresh DSP. When I originally got this DSP I wasn’t sure how to use the arrows, so it’s been languishing in my stash. And then […]
It’s all in black & white, You’re the Best!
Last week I decided to create a variety of cards using the challenge templates I used during the first two weeks of October. I loved the various templates and wanted to see how many different cards I could make using them. So this week I will be showcasing the cards I made. First up, my original card using Chic […]
Celebrate Today with PPA322
Today’s card was also inspired by the PPA322 template challenge for this week. My first card for the challenge was made without my usual background paper or dry embossing (see it here). But you know me, I like bright, happy colors and something in the background and this is my 2nd card for the challenge. The card base […]
Here’s to Cheer a 90th birthday!
My father will be turning 90 in February (WOW!) and I thought this week’s PPA322 template challenge would be a great template to create his card. I used masculine colors from the retired Sweater Weather DSP and the Here’s to Cheer stamp with the “there is much to celebrate” saying since it seemed so appropriate for his celebration. […]
