So I went to YouTube and found Patty Bennett’s tips (PattyStamps.com) on how to get a good Painted Harvest flower (don’t you just love the wonderful bloggers who share […]
Spring
Start another great year with a flower garden
This past weekend I decided to do use my December 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit to make a variety of cards to showcase the versatility of Paper Pumpkin kits!

Okay, back to my flower crafting challenge. In this year’s […]
Flowers, and more flowers…I’m pushing my creativity envelope!
Give me a challenge and sometimes it burrows in and I just have to keep trying until I can do it! As you know, flowers, country gardens and soft color cards are always a challenge for me. I have the Wildflower Fields designer paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog and I’m determined to try to use […]
Struggling with country flower gardens
As I’ve said several times over this last week, English country gardens are pretty, but definitely not my style in paper crafting and card making (and I’m not successful in growing real flowers either.
