I love this set of cards from the Watercolor Wishes card kit. The new Tip Top Taupe color is muted, but creates a elegant statement for these celebration cards. The striped card below was another of the ones that was printed front and back so you could easily cut it in half and attach each piece to standard Whisper White card base to get 2 cards instead of […]

Cheers to you with Pool Party colors
I made these beautiful cards that have a delicate Pool Party colored washed look. These would cheer anyone up when they received one. And they are so easy to make using the Watercolor Wishes card kit. Of course, by now you know I add a little bright color to make things pop. They look so cheery […]
Guy cards from Watercolor Wishes
I finished creating 21 total cards from the Watercolor Wishes card kit yesterday.

September means that the holidays are just around the corner and I need to start planning now for Fall, back-to-school, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. The best thing about this time of year, other […]
It’s here, the mailman finally delivered my red box!
I’m doing the happy dance since I finally got my red box, aka Paper Pumpkin, Wednesday night! WHEW, I thought it was never going to come. And here’s a picture (couldn’t get one of me and my happy dance since my sweet hubby was at work when I took the picture – so you get my hand […]
