I recently took part in a color challenge. The challenge was to use three specific colors in a card and to use products that are in Stampin’ Up’s 2019 Holiday Catalog.

As Thanksgiving is here! I knew it was coming because I picked up my mother last week from the airport for her annual - “Thanksgiving and See all her Children in One Fell Swoop” trip. She lives in Arizona.....my brother, sister and I all live in Virginia....but different parts of the state....so she goes from… Continue reading A Season of Thankfulness
Happy Halloween! It’s time for pumpkins, treats and hopefully no tricks!

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly papercrafting kit… Continue reading Fall is time for Pumpkins….Paper Pumpkins too!
