Cherry Blossom Tree

After visiting with my parents this weekend I got to thinking about how much I love my Mum. I realize that it's still 3 months away, but I wanted to make a bright cheerful card for her. Hopefully this one will make her smile when she does finally receive it!


Thanks for stopping by.

WOYWW 403

This weeks desk is lacking in inspiration. Lots of products and no results. Somewhere off to the side is my notebook which has the ideas for next weeks cards jotted in it. Once I get things done over the weekend it will be time to live up to my reputation and get this all cleaned up. 😀


Grab a cuppa your fave beverage and head on over to Julia's for a little while and visit with a group of lovely ladies.

Thanks for stopping by.

Serene Tree and Sympathy

Sadly, everyone needs sympathy cards once in a while. Fortunately, this is not one of those times for me. I just wanted a card to have on hand, and this did the trick. Soft greens seem to make this a serene, restful looking card.

Friendship Under a Sheltering Tree

Today's card uses the beautiful Sheltering Tree stamp. I haven't spent nearly enough time playing with this set. I love the soft combination of Peekaboo Peach, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry. It's next to impossible to see in the picture, but there are diagonal scored lines on the base Whisper White layer. The idea for this card came from Julie Gearinger. Thanks Julie!


Now, once I write my message on the inside, this card will be winging its way to a special friend. Hope she likes it as much as I do!

Thanks for stopping by.

Rocking Your World--Week 7

Yay, it's Friday! That means two things first I'm done with work for the week and it's a long weekend here so woohoo three days off and second it's time to visit with Virginia and Annie.

The little Gorgeous celebrated her third birthday on Monday so we had some gifts and cake at home since she had her party with friends last week. It snowed heavily all weekend so Nana and Papa didn't make it out to get birthday wrapping paper. That meant that all her gifts were wrapped in Christmas paper. Not that she noticed--I think the paper lasted all of 5 seconds 😂

The icky weekend weather did mean that I got to spend some quality couch time with Mr R and I got to spend time in the craft corner. That's a win-win as far as I'm concerned.

And the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead aired on Sunday. Weirdo I may be, but it's my favorite show and I've been missing it.

The rest of the week has been pretty quiet which suits me just fine. We got some more snow, but not as much as over the weekend.

Now I'm just gearing myself up to pick up my parents tomorrow and make the trek to my sister's in Ottawa to drop them off for a few weeks visit. Ten hours round trip is not making me smile, but it will be good for them to get away so trek I must.

In honour of the not so lovely snowstorm, here are a few funnies.






Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week.

A Cute Thank You

Brand new babies come with lots of brand new gifts. Quick and easy to make thank you cards are always appreciated by new parents. This little card breaks land speed records for making and is easy peasy to mass produce. The embossing adds just a little bit extra detail.



Thanks for stopping by.

WOYWW 402

It's Tuesday night and the lighting is bad, sorry. 

Again we have a fully loaded desk. No Chromebook in sight this time so that must mean I've been busy making cards, not surfing the net. I have boxes and boxes of handmade cards sitting in the craft corner. I do send some out, but not nearly enough to keep up with the creating. Anyone out there want some cards? 


And Lucy (EmbroidRage), that pink toy is my ATG tape gun that I just can't live without! It's always close to hand.

Time to see what Julia and company are up to this week.

Thanks for stopping by.
