It’s always fun to start off the week with a bright and cheery card. I think it helps to set the mood for the entire week. So let’s get the party started! The stamp set I used is called Party Puffins and is one of the new stamp sets that is in the New 2021-2022… Continue reading Party Puffin Monday

You can check out my post yesterday to get you started Oh To Be in a Tropical Oasis. Today I am checking out this bold floral pattern: And yes, you can see… Continue reading Still Escaping to the Tropical Oasis
Simple Stamping with Thoughtful Blooms (Almost)
S.I.P. No, it does not stand for Still In Pajamas. It stands for Stamps, Ink, Paper. Nothing else on your card....no ribbon, no bling, no embossing, just pure and simple stamping. If you want to make cards in a hurry, S.I.P. is the way to go. But that doesn’t mean that your cards have to… Continue reading Simple Stamping with Thoughtful Blooms (Almost)
Under My Umbrella….on a Rainy Monday Night
As long as I can remember, my Mom has sung with Sweet Adelines....and at 90 years of age, she is still up on the risers singing away as the oldest member of the Scottsdale Chorus chapter. Early on, my Dad in his infinite wisdom decided that she needed something to help her practice, so in… Continue reading Under My Umbrella….on a Rainy Monday Night

Speaking… Continue reading A Salute to the Red, White & Blue!
Patriotic Lighthouse
My husband loves lighthouses....and to tell the truth, so do I. If we are traveling and there is a lighthouse nearby, chances are we will stop and visit, climb up to the top and survey the scenery. Besides cardmaking, I also love to research my family’s genealogy. I had a relative who was a Head… Continue reading Patriotic Lighthouse
Patriotic Daisies
As promised earlier, this first week of July is Red, White & Blue week! It’s fitting since the Fourth of July is rapidly coming up, so what better time to have a few Patriotic looking cards?

Cow’s It Going??
I have been having so much fun with the new OVER THE MOON Stamp set....just “Udderly” too much fun! If one cow on a card is fun....then a bunch is simply “Moovalous” right? Especially when you pile them on top of each other. This is not my original idea, but I’ve seen several versions and not… Continue reading Cow’s It Going??
Folding Fun With Free as a Bird
I was looking for something different to do with my limited stamp sets, so I decided that I needed to try and do some different types of folding my cards. So instead of the traditional side or top fold, I branched out a little and tried something new. Laying down flat it just looks like… Continue reading Folding Fun With Free as a Bird
