I wish I could send all my dear friends a beautiful bouquet of flowers each week to brighten their lives and homes! But since that isn’t possible (both because of distance and cost), I created this beautiful card using the leftover piece from yesterday’s Blissful Bloom card. Here’s the diagram I posted of how I […]

Thinking of you with Blissful Blooms
I’m still working on alternative ideas to this month’s Blissful Blooms Paper Pumpkin kit. Today’s card uses the FMS348 sketch from several weeks ago for the layout. I started with the below card base and cut it the front off (be sure to save the back for another card idea). Then I cut the card […]
Blissful Blooms for today
Today I made the August Paper Pumpkin cards exactly how the instructions said to do it. From start to finish, including punching out all the green and clear velum leaves, it only took me 15 minutes to make the two cards! And if you did them all at once in an assembly line fashion, it […]
FMS 351, meet August Paper Pumpkin
Oh, so many craft supplies, so little time. Is that one of common things you think to yourself? Me, too! I haven’t been taking advantages of my Paper Pumpkin kits, but I fell in to love with this August’s Paper Pumpkin kit. It’s so simple to make the 10 cards; aren’t they simply gorgeous?! So I decided […]
A little birdie told me…
This was the original card layout I had in mind last week hoping that I could adapt it to the upcoming FMS350 sketch. I posted my final FMS350 here, but today I wanted to share the original card I designed. I used the earlier FMS347 sketch (I didn’t get to post a card for that […]
Ah, FMS350 didn’t disappoint me!
I was hoping that this week’s FMS sketch would fit the card idea floating in my head and it did! I was out of town until Sunday, so I didn’t have a lot of time to put my card together in time for the challenge. I made another Animal Expedition card, this time with the […]
Aren’t family visits wonderful?
My baby sister and her twin daughters (my nieces) stopped by to visit me Tuesday and Wednesday. They are driving back to college in Texas for the fall semester after spending the summer at home in Florida. It was fun to see how grownup they are now, heading to their last year in college. I can […]
Garden impressions of the FMS349
During last month’s designer series paper sale, I bought several DSP sets the I was on the fence about adding to my abundant paper stash. But a bargain is a bargain, especially in crafting supplies, right fellow paper crafters?! Garden Impressions was one of them, but now that I’m looking at all the prints, they […]
Tropical escape for FMS349
Oh how I wanted to escape to a tropical destination this past weekend, but it just wasn’t in the “cards.” So instead, I spent the weekend making cards using last week’s FMS349 sketch. Yesterday’s card, see it here, was the one I posted for the challenge, but today’s card was my second choice. I’ve missed […]
