I made this special card for my granddaughter’s 13th birthday card. I’m posting it a little early since I put it in the mail yesterday for her February 12 birthday (hoping she doesn’t see my blog before receiving it). And yes, I’m on time for once in sending a card – my family will be shocked! I made her card using the PCC229 challenge and […]

Bands of love – FMS273
I love the simplicity of last week’s FMS273 sketch and was pleased with my card. I even managed to leave the background unembossed, and unadorned (WOW!). That’s a rare thing for me. This year’s Sending Love DSP stack has some really pretty red & white papers that I’m using a lot on my cards. It was […]
An artistic take on hearts with love – MOJO482
I’ve been battling the flu all week thanks to my dear husband who was sick all last week. If you know him, you know he was really under the weather because he stayed home all week from work! By last Sunday morning I thought I was in the clear from getting it from him. But […]
Sweet & Sassy layered Hearts
Yesterday I shared two cards I created this past weekend for the SGGW weekend challenge. If you missed yesterday’s post, see them here. As I was cleaning up my craft table, I had a variety of small circles and hearts leftover that I had cut out from Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe (retired Stampin’ Up! colors) and […]
Sending Love to SGGW weekend challenge!
I made this last weekend for Connie Stewart’s “Stampin Girls Gone Wild” weekend challenge. I’m just now posting it because I had a number of card challenges I had to post to meet their challenge deadlines. So this card has been waiting in the wings for it’s debut, since Connie’s challenge has no deadline (I love the no […]
Sunshine Wishes with Love – Valentine or Birthday card?
Here’s my card for this week’s MOJO481. I laid this card out with different papers, different sizes and finally had to walk away for a day because it just wasn’t working the way I envisioned it. Then yesterday, it all came together like I wanted and this is my final card! Is it a Valentine’s Day […]
Love notes for you
This past weekend I switched gears to create Valentines Day cards. My PCC228 card post yesterday, see it here, inspired today’s card. But this card uses a banner instead in the lower corner created by one of the So Detailed thinlit dies. I played around with several layout options and here’s my final version: Very simple card, but I think […]
Hugs & Kisses for PCC227
Today’s Valentines Day card uses the PCC227 challenge template and the So Detailed heart tag thinlit die as the main focus. I love Stampin’ Up!’s new Sending Love DSP paper pack! The tiny red hearts scattered across the white background was perfect as the background paper. The traditional red and white Valentines Day colors are always my favorite colors when creating “love” cards. I […]
So in Love – MOJO480
When I saw this week’s MOJO480 template, I knew I would use my Night of Navy and Whisper White Floral Boutique DSP paper. I decided to make a love card for my sweet hubby. I’m not sure if I’ll use it for his Valentines Day card or another time when I need a card from him. […]
