New Holiday catalogs on the way
See my big smile? The new holiday catalogs are on the way and I’m getting my order on Tuesday. I can’t wait to share my new stuff with you! If you’re one of my “long distant” customers, look for your catalog in the mail in the next two weeks. If you’re a local customer, watch […]
What can you do with Textures & Frames?
Initially, I wasn’t sure what I do with the stamp set, just that I wanted it to add accents to my cards. But I was amazed at the various cards I was able to create with the Textures & Frames stamp set. My cards came together quickly once I decided which ink colors to use […]
I’m so excited…I learned something new!

Every good wish during December needs a “Be Merry”
Back to traditional Christmas colors for my card today. I love the way the negative stamped greetings look on a card. And you don’t have to stamp it perfect for it to look fabulous, so that’s an added bonus. Especially when you are doing a stack of them all at once. The greetings that are […]

I started out with my new Swirly Snowflakes thinlits dies to create a card. I tried die cutting silver foil paper, white, and even the Night of Navy […]
