Hello friends,
The flu and other germs are making the rounds. I've had a some requests for Get Well and Thinking of You cards to send to sick friends/family. I love this background stamp. It is hard to find good tea themed stamps.

Hello all,
This is one of those cards that has been stuck in my head for a long time. I was inspired by another crafter to make a card using Charlie Brown and this sentiment. I had those stamps, but I put my own twist on it. Good Grief.. he makes me laugh!

Colored Cardstock from Stampin Up

Hi!
Who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh. The copyright expired on him and so many companies are releasing their version of Pooh. This one is from Impression Obsessions. It was only available for a short time, but they have several other sets that are adorable! They all are so sweet. More Pooh cards are coming...

Hello!
I love this new sentiment from TJ Designs. As you get older you realize how true this sentiment really is. I embossed a white piece of cardstock with the daisy embossing folder. Then is used my blending brushes to apply a soft coating of ink. The ink did create a soft halo around each daisy... but that doesn't bother me. I think it adds to the look. What do you think?
I finished the card off with some yellow stickles. Do you remember those? I haven't used mine in a while.

Hello!
Watch these two kitties come to life. They are so sweet. Be sure to watch to the end. I almost had to go find a litterbox... it was nerve wracking to add those cute strips on that tabby cat. I wasn't sure they would look right. What do you think?

Greetings,
I love rediscovering techniques. Today we inked up the embossing folder to create more dimensional look on this card. It really helped these roses pop. I love this friend die. It is the perfect size for this card. I was also able to tuck the sentiment strip behind the bottom part of the "Friend".

Welcome,
A while back I made a Winnie the pooh and piglet card. It made me want to make a Tigger card. He was always my favorite of the Pooh Crew. With Valentine's day coming I thought it would be fun to have him bouncing through some hearts. I used a stencil to add hearts to the background of the card. I love how playful and fun it is. What do you think? I'm not sure I'm ready to put away my Winnie the pooh stamps. We might need to do an Eeyore card next.
Hello,
A little while ago I found someone who is selling their vintage stamps. I was able to snag a bunch of them. It was a great find because companies generally do not feature licensed images anymore. It was a lot of fun to color up Winnie and Piglet. They seemed to be enjoying the windy fall day. Stay tuned to see what other cartoon stamps I picked up. I can't wait to show you!

Greetings,
I'm back to day with my favorite pumpkin stamp. It is a layering stamp from Strawberry Jude. I seem to drag this stamp set out every Fall. If you want to see the cards I've made in past years, you can click on the links below.
Check out how awesome this pumpkin looks! I kept the card really simple, so the focus will be on the pumpkin. I'd love to hear what pumpkin card is your favorite of the three times I've used this stamp.

Hello friends,
It has been almost a month since I've posted. YIKES! I know I've said some of this before... but here is what I've been upto: I've definitely been busy spending as much time as possible outside. I was going a little stir crazy in the house during quarantine. Once summer arrived, I took every advantage of going outside. We still have been quarantining, but we moved our family to the lake. It has slowed my card making process down considerably, but it is a small price to pay for some sanity. I hope you are soaking up the sun and finding ways to keep your mind and body healthy. I will do my best to not let another month creep by without stopping in and sharing something crafty.
I made this card about a year ago, but it was another one that slipped through the cracks. I love summer cards. This fox has looks about as comfortable as you can get. I used one of my favorite stamp sets to create the water in the background. This set makes creating water scenes a breeze.
