Last week on my Pats Card Corner Facebook PageI posted this picture of the preparations for a card that had 22 pieces.

Little Ladybug “Notes” – Happy Birthday!
A few weeks ago a friend asked me to help her make a card that she had seen on Pinterest....and I was happy to do it because I got to play with two new stamps sets that I had been wanting to use: Little Ladybug and Music from the Heart. These are the two stamp… Continue reading Little Ladybug “Notes” – Happy Birthday!
Easy Peasy – Painted Poppies
Easy Peasy - Quick and Easy. That’s my motto this week as I get projects ready for a one day retreat on Saturday.

I used the scrolly vine from the Thoughtful Blooms Stamp Set and instead of adding flowers, I choose hearts from… Continue reading Thoughtful Blooms Valentine

When I was much younger, we always made our own valentines to give to friends. And I see no reason to change that now. So,… Continue reading Heartfelt Love You Lots Valentine

You can see it in the lower… Continue reading Valentine Watercolor – Meant to Be
