Bottle invitation

I had made these invitations for my daughters pool party and was so excited about how neat they were! Little did I know then when I presented the demo to her, I would be shot down and left to do yet another invitation that she would approve of! Don't get me wrong, she loved the colors of this and the idea of it. The problem that she was faced with was having to carry all Read more

Personalized Notebook for my Sis!

sssshhhhhh.....don't tell my sister about this! I mailed an order over to my sister for some friends of hers and tucked this little gift in the package for her. She should get the package any day now and I hope she's pleasantly surprised! She's one of my biggest customers and supporters so a little "freebie" every now and then isn't a bad thing! This is a notebook that I got from Big Lots for $1.50. Read more

Pool Party Invitations

hi everyone! Jessica is going to have a pool party next Saturday and invitations needed to be made! After three tries and her scrutiny on my samples, we went with the simple one....:-) She's inviting both boys and girls so I had to have something that she could give to both. Thus, the opportunity to use my new Tinkerbell stamp went down the drain..... I pulled out an old celebrations stamp from Fiskars and used Read more

Thinking Of You Card

Sometimes, out of nowhere, the thought of someone enters my thoughts and I feel compelled to send them a card just to let them know I was thinking about them. I think it's nice to get a card or note in the mail from someone that you might not have heard from in a while. I think that at times, we get so wrapped up in the busyness of our lives that we put communication Read more

Get Well Soon for Male or Female

I have a very dear friend that just had surgery and I wanted to make him a card to let him know that I wish for a speedy recovery for him. The problem is, most of the masculine colors I use are a bit somber and I didn't want him to get depressed by it! This card uses turquoise as a base and I happened to have some printed velumm from Martha Stewart (guarantee she didn't Read more

“Death of a Stamp”

There is no mystery as to how this stamp died.......my dog ate it! I know....sounds like I'm going back to school days and using the oldest excuse in the book but I can now use this one and have it be honest! I stamped a few of these cards, using the triple stamp & emboss technique and then set the stamp down do get the pieces mounted. I happened to hear a little noise behind Read more

“Jessica’s Creative Side”

Jessica (my daughter) and I had a wonderful time making cards yesterday! As you can see, she has great talent and an eye for color. I will admit that after she went to bed I re-tied her ribbon......I couldn't help myself, it wasn't straight!! But she was very understanding and forgave me for my momentary lapse....:-) I was sitting at the computer with Java in hand, watching another wonderful video from Mrs. Dawn (I'm a Read more

Footprints Note Card

Here's another one I'll be making a batch of and sending to my "Maine Mom". Did I tell you about her? If not, if you ever get the chance, go to Maine and look her up. She's the one with a constant smile on her face and a sparkle in her eye! I've come to look up to her because of the Christian women she is and send thanks to God each day for blessing Read more

Ice Cream Birthday

This one kind of makes me want to drop my ink pads and dash to the ice cream store!!   I just got this stamp yesterday in Lakeland at Violette's and just had to give it a try. My "Maine Mom" is running low on cards to send people and I know birthday cards will come in handy for her so she'll be getting some of these in the mail real soon! I first stamped Read more
