I have to make this a quick post because my husband is going to take me to lunch and I don't want him to change his mind!! haha I just love doing Spirelli cards.

On this one, I cut out two circles Read more

Chalked Fresh Cuts

Another day, another challenge! I woke up this morning and felt like yesterday drained all of the creativity out of me! I wanted to submit something for todays challenge on SCS but alas, no ideas were available in my cranium......what's a girl to do? When fresh out of ideas, follow this simple approach: Pull out a stamp set you haven't used in a while (for me, it was one I've never used!), some inks or chalks, Read more

Gentle Sailing Notecard

Today has been a very creative day for me! Several new cards done and more made up from past cards. I've been loving it!! I just love this stamp. My father won't confess to it but he knows I'm quite the sailor and my technique is quite advanced for such a young lady......(gosh, I even crack myself up!) Actually, I sail no where near the tranquility level of this card.....more like chaotic sailing!! It's all Read more

This is probably one of my favorite Read more

All the other people who do these types of crafts just amaze me and in a way, create a fear Read more

When You Wish…….

I've stepped outside of my "norm" on this one and have to admit that I enjoyed doing so! You'll notice that the majority of my creations are primary colors with quite a bit of the darker colors being used. I saw this stamp sitting on my self and thought "Self, you should do something pretty and sparkly for a change." So I listened to self and here's what i came up with! I'll be sending Read more

Cocoa Tree Note Card

When I showed this card to mark, his response startled me......"It's predictable" he said......... Wow...."predictable".....that sunk in for a while and I decided to have a little more dialog with him on his meaning of "predictable." He said it was a great card, clean, nice colors and layout and "predictable. "So predictable is good?" I asked......hesitating to hear the answer. "Yes, it's what I expect from you." Well, be it a nice statement, I don't Read more
