When you are in a creative slump, the best thing to do is to get a little inspiration for designing your card. And the first thing I turn to is looking for a card sketch. Card sketches are general layouts of elements for a card. In this case, I turned to Freshly Made Sketches. Each… Continue reading Hippest Hippo Card Challenge
Botanical Layers – Nature Walk
When my daughters were in Preschool and probably early elementary school, they would go on "nature walks" and collect leaves, sticks, flowers, anything that looked interesting. These items would get glued to a piece of paper (or several) and little notebooks would be made so they could look back at the treasures they found.

Sweet Songbirds – The Bluebird of Happiness
I don't know why, but whenever I look at this card, I always think of the expression "Bluebird of Happiness".

This card features the Sweet Songbirds Bundle… Continue reading Sweet Songbirds – The Bluebird of Happiness

This is my last post this week using the Bottled Happiness Stamp Set and the coordinating Vintage Bottle Punch. In my last post I told you about my flowers that I haven't killed yet that are in my flower beds. (Yes, I have two black thumbs!). And I finally got smart and started planting perennials… Continue reading Bottled Happiness – More Flowers!
Bottled Happiness – Filled with Flowers
I am not usually a real flower lover - at least not in real life unless they are outdoors and blooming in my flowerbeds making my yard look pretty. I’ve found a few that I haven’t killed and that keep coming back without me paying them any attention. I don’t cut and bring the blooms… Continue reading Bottled Happiness – Filled with Flowers
