As I said on yesterday’s post…WOW…I had a great crafting weekend! I finished all my Valentine’s Day treat containers for my staff, faculty and co-workers – 32 and counting! I saw a post early last week on Facebook, I think, about celebrating Valentine’s Day. It suggested rather than focusing on what you did or did not receive, to instead spread the love to […]

Let’s celebrate with Balloon Adventures and #FMS274
WOW…this was a great crafting weekend for me! I spent the first part of my days off finishing up my Valentine’s Day treat containers for my staff, faculty and co-workers..I’ll post them tomorrow – 32 and counting! But let’s get back to today’s card. I really liked the FMS274 for last week, so much so I […]
Confetti birthday celebration with FabFri105!
More circles, more Party Animal DSP, and confetti for another birthday card! A lot of stuff all in one simple to make birthday card for my FabFri105 challenge card. I’ve had my Confetti embossing folder for a while now, and in fact I forgot I had it and ordered another…sigh…so now I have 2. I’ll have […]
Happy birthday to my favorite 13 year old!
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 […]
A 75th birthday to celebrate
Last Friday I got to celebrate with some dear friends of mine who I’ve known for over 35 years now. Since three of our birthdays are within 2 weeks of each other during January-February, we try to get together each year for a birthday lunch. The fourth friend’s 65th birthday was late November (you can see the card […]
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 […]
