A Gift for Diahann Carroll
Today is Diahann Carroll's birthday, so it is a wonderful opportunity to share another birthday related project. I'll admit that I'm a fan of the cable show "White Collar" which features the oh-so-dreamy Matt Bomer as the star character - Neal. But as I've watched,...
Happy Birthday Sela Ward
Sela is one of the stars in CSI: NY, and I'd love to send her a birthday card. I love the additional dimension that her character (Jo Danville) brings to the show. I'm really missing watching the show since it is on it's "summer break", and I...
Floral Birthday
Send a flowery wish A couple of colors featured on this card have retired, but I just had to share it with you anyway. The stamp club gals made this card in our May meeting, and it was a real hit. The flowers and leaves are stamped and then die cut with a set of...

Spring Flowers!
in paper form I think that I may be jonesing for some beautiful flowers around my house. I needed to come up with some card designs for some recent creativity gatherings and I just couldn't stop making cards that were including flower elements. What I really love...
April Snowman
What the heck? Who in the world is wanting to create a snowman card in April?!? Spring has been very slow in arriving this year here in Vermont, and I'm definitely not wanting any more snowmen to appear in my neighborhood. However, I made a goal (dare I say...
Celebrate a friend
with a lovely card I made this card ages ago in a workshop for a friend. It has been sitting on my desk waiting patiently for its' very own blog post, and today is the day. This card uses two colors from the Subtles family that are retiring at the end of the...
