If At First You Don’t Succeed…..

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again.  And that’s what I’m going to do....try again with the Varied Vases Stamp Set and the three columns.  I found a different  card layout...still had three columns, but also a another box across the bottom...so a little different than the first one.  Maybe this would be… Continue reading If At First You Don’t Succeed…..

Let’s take a look at what this stamp set looks… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day!

It’s A Beautiful Day!

Every time I see this sentiment It’s a beautiful day from the Love What You Do stamp set I’m reminded of the song from the television show, Mr. Rogers.  My daughters loved to watch this show and would often sing along: It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood A beautiful day for a neighbor Could… Continue reading It’s A Beautiful Day!

It’s a Shimmery Day!

One of the things I love about some of the new designer series papers that Stampin' Up just released besides the pretty colors is that it shimmers!  Hold it up to the light and wiggle it back and forth and you can see that some of the flowers have a little shine to them so… Continue reading It’s a Shimmery Day!
