Well, yes and no. September is traditionally the beginning of fall, but not in Texas with our temperatures still in the high 80’s. And we still have to get through hurricane season…September is usually the most active month for Texas bound hurricanes. Fingers crossed that we escape them this year. I decided to pull out […]
Thank You cards
Tropical Chic – a CASE for FMS348
I’m loving the Tropical Escape suite of products, have you figured that one out yet?! Today’s cards are a CASE from Amy O’Neill’s FMS348 sketch card from several weeks ago. I loved her idea using the Tropical thinlits dies to create her unique card. I kept coming back to it again and again and finally […]
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 […]
Simply Amazing – FMS327
Another card today for the FMS327 challenge. It’s a very simple template and all kinds of ideas came to mind when I saw this week’s challenge. I’m using another of the Delightful Daisy DSP patterns I’ve had out on my craft table just waiting to use it on a card. I started with a Tranquil Tide […]
Another butterfly, just for you
Yes, it’s more butterflies to end this week. I used another of the many ones I cut last week for today’s card. Using up some of the last of my non-holiday side of Season of Cheer DSP for this spring card. I made it with the generic “for you” saying from the Sale-a-bration Happy Wishes […]
Lessons learned on stamping Painted Harvest!
As I said yesterday, I was not entirely happy with how my Painted Harvest 2-step flowers were looking as I was playing with different color combinations. 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 […]
The last of another great year?
Ah, yes, they say all good things must come to an end and today’s card is the end of my cards made from December’s “Another Great Year” Paper Pumpkin. Enough already, right? But I found this last design and couldn’t let it just languish on my crafting table, could I? Nope! I wanted the Smoky […]
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! I was going to put the album together, but decided I really needed some pretty flower cards. The different sheets for the album all measured 5″ x 7″ and […]

I hope you are enjoying your stamp sets, inks, papers and all those wonderful embellishments you got! So today’s card is a special virtual thank you card […]
