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 […]
Aren’t family visits wonderful?
My baby sister and her twin daughters (my nieces) stopped by to visit me Tuesday and Wednesday. They are driving back to college in Texas for the fall semester after spending the summer at home in Florida. It was fun to see how grownup they are now, heading to their last year in college. I can […]
Garden impressions of the FMS349
During last month’s designer series paper sale, I bought several DSP sets the I was on the fence about adding to my abundant paper stash.

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.

Beautiful Stampin’ Up! papers – Buy 3, get one free!
WOW…July already. Where have the months gone since my last post? I thought I’d have lots of time to paper craft when I retired in February from my full-time career as a nutrition researcher. But it seems there are so many things I need to do as I try to fully slip into retirement – isn’t […]
