Last week I shared several cards using the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper....and I finally got around to using the stamp set that coordinates with that paper. It’s called Bloom by Bloom.

I saw this definition of Spring the other day....SPRING: A lovely reminder of how beautiful change can be. So while this definiation is more about flowers and plants blooming back to life after a long winter, it also applies to other parts of our lives.

One of the instagram people I follow does beautiful watercoloring.… Continue reading One Design – Two Different Cards
Our weather last week was unusually warm....in the 70’s! So I thought maybe Puxatawny Phil, the famous Groundhog in Pennsylvania is right and warm weather was on it’s way. Until we got to this past Saturday....that 70 degree weather became 32 degree weather. So in hopes of bringing back the warm weather, I thought it… Continue reading Feels Like Spring!
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “It just wasn’t meant to be”. Usually that’s said in times when things didn’t work out as planned or something that you hoped would happen but just didn’t.

I almost didn’t buy this… Continue reading Stinkin’ Sweet
