And if you look down from the top, it looks a bit like a pinwheel. But if… Continue reading Sweet as a Peach Pinwheel Card

Friends are Like Seashells…..

I am still on vacation at the beach....my happy place.  As much as I’d like to, I’m not walking on the beach (still in re-hab from ankle surgery), I would usually be collecting shells....I have them all over my house in glass jars from trips to Myrtle Beach, Key West, Clearwater Beach, and even from… Continue reading Friends are Like Seashells…..

Sweet Ice Cream – Double Z Fold Alternative

I'm not really sure what to call the special fold on this card....except to say it is a FUN fold!  It's similar to a Double Z fold (like in this post: Snail Mail Fun Fold) but the "extra Z" is not as wide and big and in the middle like in that post....it's skinny and along… Continue reading Sweet Ice Cream – Double Z Fold Alternative

Sand & Shells

Although the weather is warming up and we’ve had a few days teasing of summer, the past few days have been definitely more “spring” than “beach” weather.  So I’m having to just dream about warm breezes and relaxing on the beach and made a card similar to several ones that I had seen. I layered… Continue reading Sand & Shells

Seashells by the Seashore…..

Who remembers the tongue twister...She sells seashells by the seashore?  Can you say it three times fast?  Me neither.  Who likes to collect seashells?  Me!  My happy place is the beach.  I love to sit and watch the waves and I also love to walk the beach and look for shells.  I have a very… Continue reading Seashells by the Seashore…..

Fine Art Floral Fun Fold

This is actually a re-make of a card that I made in 2019 when I was visiting my daughter in Seoul, South Korea.  I had packed a few stamping supplies so I could stamp on the long 17 hour flight, I didn’t end up doing that....those seat trays are tiny!  But I did make quite… Continue reading Fine Art Floral Fun Fold
