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.

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.

Thanks for stopping by.

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!

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.

Snips and Snails...

That nursery rhyme gives little boys a bad rap. They are just as cute as baby girls and need a card befitting that cuteness. Blues with a neutral colour are a classic combination for baby boys.

A Little Something for Baby

Baby girls are adorable and deserve an adorable card welcoming them into the world. Done in pink and white of course because sometimes I'm a traditionalist.

Christmas Card of the Month

I love this card. You can't tell from the picture, but the branches are cut from Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper and the ornament and peace are both covered in clear embossing powder. It really gives it a nice shine in person.

Just Dance

Just some simple stamping on this card and lots of layers. CAS was the way to go with this one and I think it turned out rather pretty. And it was quick to do so if I feel so inclined I can quickly make up a bunch to have on hand as a great encouragement card.

Thanks for stopping by.

It's a Sunshiny Day

Today's card is also for a special person. My sister Pam and I don't spend a lot of time together, but she is a terrific big sister and whenever we are together we have loads of fun (can you say wine and shopping!).

I thought the colour would be perfect for her because she is usually bright and sunny.

Stylish Card for a Special Person

This week we are playing with the stamp set Beautiful You. I really like this set as the images seem classic and the sentiments are terrific.

This card will be going to a very special person, my friend who I have known for almost all of my life. We would sit beside each other in the baby swings at the park and went from kindergarden all the way through high school together. Hope she likes her card!

Ice Cream in Winter

I totally cased a card made by Shannon Colon, so a big thanks to her. 😀

When I was a kid, I loved Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream and even now, with all the grownup flavours that are available, it's still one of my favorites. Even though we're in the middle of winter right now, I'm feeling for some ice cream!

The colours I used are Mint Macaron, Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake.

Thanks for stopping by.

More Birthday Cake

Thanks to Sally Shaw at Sallystampers.com for the idea for this card.


Surprisingly it came together pretty quickly. Ink colours are Melon Mambo, So Saffron. Then just Vellum Cardstock and Pop of Pink DSP, along with Gold embossing powder and some Melon Mambo enamel shapes. I think I should have used more glue dot to hold down the vellum 😖.

Thanks for stopping by.

Biggest Birthday Ever for Alessia

I can't believe a very special little person is turning 3 in a couple of weeks. Yes, my granddaughter, the little Gorgeous is going to be 3! Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday she was a tiny baby 😊.

A special day deserves a special card.  I used the Biggest Birthday Ever stamps and matching framelits along with the Cupcake Cutouts framelits and sentiment from Sweet Cupcake. The colours used are Wisteria Wonder, Blushing Bride, Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight.

Thanks for stopping by.

Wow, it's still Christmas

Happiness is a new box of goodies! Had to wait until after Christmas to place my order so I could see how much I had available to spend 😏. (Darn adult responsibilities taking over my bank account--the nerve!)
This box of goodness was on my porch when I arrived home from work on Thursday, but I haven't had the time to break into it until now. Got some stuff from the Stampin' Up! Annual catty, some from the new Occasions catty and a few things from the Holiday catty that I hadn't got around to getting yet.
Dive into the box with me and let's see what I got myself for Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by.
