Last Friday I got to celebrate with some dear friends of mine who I’ve known for over 35 years now. Since three of our birthdays are within 2 weeks of each other during January-February, we try to get together each year for a birthday lunch. The fourth friend’s 65th birthday was late November (you can see the card […]

Sending Love to SGGW weekend challenge!
I made this last weekend for Connie Stewart’s “Stampin Girls Gone Wild” weekend challenge. I’m just now posting it because I had a number of card challenges I had to post to meet their challenge deadlines. So this card has been waiting in the wings for it’s debut, since Connie’s challenge has no deadline (I love the no […]
Sunshine Wishes with Love – Valentine or Birthday card?
Here’s my card for this week’s MOJO481. I laid this card out with different papers, different sizes and finally had to walk away for a day because it just wasn’t working the way I envisioned it. Then yesterday, it all came together like I wanted and this is my final card! Is it a Valentine’s Day […]
Love notes for you
This past weekend I switched gears to create Valentines Day cards. My PCC228 card post yesterday, see it here, inspired today’s card. But this card uses a banner instead in the lower corner created by one of the So Detailed thinlit dies. I played around with several layout options and here’s my final version: Very simple card, but I think […]
Hugs & Kisses for PCC227
Today’s Valentines Day card uses the PCC227 challenge template and the So Detailed heart tag thinlit die as the main focus. I love Stampin’ Up!’s new Sending Love DSP paper pack! The tiny red hearts scattered across the white background was perfect as the background paper. The traditional red and white Valentines Day colors are always my favorite colors when creating “love” cards. I […]
So in Love – MOJO480
When I saw this week’s MOJO480 template, I knew I would use my Night of Navy and Whisper White Floral Boutique DSP paper. I decided to make a love card for my sweet hubby. I’m not sure if I’ll use it for his Valentines Day card or another time when I need a card from him. […]
Finally, A day to celebrate with FMS271
Yes, I said finally…read to the end and you’ll see why I titled my post this way! I decided to create another Valentines Day card with this week’s FMS271 sketch. This time I used the So in Love stamps and the So Detailed thinlit dies bundle to create a simple, elegant card. But as I looked […]
A flagship birthday for FMS270
I’m having so much fun with all my new things from the Stampin’ Up!. Today’s card uses the new Cupcakes and Carousels paper stack from the Occasions catalog and my free stamp set “Any Occasion” from the Sale-a-bration catalog. As I said last week, I have lots of birthday cards to make for January and February for family […]
