Fly away with me for your birthday?
I enjoy traveling and exploring new places with my sweet hubby. And so this card is perfect for him (although we do fly newer aircraft-LOL!). I made it last February, but I’ve been saving it for his 70th (!) birthday coming up tomorrow – A major milestone!!! He doesn’t look 70, at least not so to me! […]
What’s your favorite cake for your birthday?
I love birthdays! Well, not the getting older part, but as my dad always says, it beats the alternative! I love the celebrations, the cards, the decorations…and oh, yes…the red velvet cake, my favorite! Growing up with my cousin who was just 17 days younger, we always celebrated our birthdays together with our families. And […]
Looking out the window at Spring blooms! March 29-April 4 Deals!
You might be thinking why purchase fall and winter dies now even though they are on sale? Well, think again because the Leaflets framelits and the Hearth & Home thinlets dies can be used year round! Think Spring wreaths, summer flowers with leaves. Think beautiful windows looking out onto spring flowers. Huh…? Take a look […]
Roses, roses…what? More flowers on the horizon!
You know I love a good challenge and flowers are my current one. I might even have to try my hand at planting some real flowers in my garden since our Texas weather has been incredibly beautiful this year, the flowers are blooming all around me. Okay, back to my flower crafting challenge. In this year’s […]
It was a great weekend for challenges, for me anyway!
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, […]
Sympathy cards, a special card for a sad occasion
It’s not something most of us like to think about, but we all need a sympathy card at some point in time. I have a hard time creating one on the spot when I need it most. So I’m always looking for new templates and ideas to use to create cards I can keep on hand. A couple of […]
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 […]
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 […]
