Daisy Garden – One Stamp Card
Quick and easy cards…who likes them? I do! There is something to be said for having one BIG stamp that covers the entire card front. Stamp once, do a bit of coloring, add a little embossing and put it all together. This is the result. I made this card for a special friend who lost… Continue reading Daisy Garden – One Stamp Card
Nothings Better Than….Cookie Monster!
It’s time for another Take Me Back Tuesday! A project from awhile back that I forgot to share, or maybe with a retired product or two.

What’s Cookin’? – Dutch Door Fun Fold
My Mom came for an extended visit in May and after two weeks with us, she decided that she was ready to make the move from Arizona to Virginia and live with my husband and me.

Pansy Patch Quick and Easy Card
I love pansies....the vibrant colors, soft petals...they are beautiful to use in landscaping....unless you have rogue bunnies in your yard! A few years ago I bought about 80 pansy plants at a local high school fundraiser to fill a rather large flower bed in front of my house. I planted them one afternoon. They looked… Continue reading Pansy Patch Quick and Easy Card
