Happy Birthday Johnny Cash!
I'm not a real fan of Country music, but I recognize that Johnny Cash made an outsize impact on the world of music with his artistic gifts. The world lost an amazing artist when he passed away. So I'd like to recognize him on his birthday, even if he isn't with us to...
Renee is Fabulous!
I was so happy to hear that Renée Zellweger won the Best Actress honors at the Oscars this year; she is such an amazing actor! I would love to send her this card to honor her, but I have to share it virtually here. I used this past sketch as the layout inspiration for...
Poppy Happiness
This was the quick card that the Essex stamp club created in January. I really wanted to brighten a dark January day with some prettiness from the Peaceful Poppies Suite. I think that the patterned paper is just da-bomb featuring some gorgeous colors and patterns....
Tim the Tusker
Last week I heard a news story about "Tim", a notorious elephant in Kenya who died of natural causes at 50 years old. It was a real testament to the efforts of the Kenya Wildlife Service that Tim lived as long as he did, especially because he was a "tusker" - an...
Lacy Valentine
I decided that I just had to spend some creative time today. After church this morning a small group of us were talking about how much better we feel when we fit in some creative time; it really is a mental health activity. And with Valentine's Day coming up really...
Stepped Up Love
This was the more time consuming card that the Essex stamp club group made at their recent meeting. None of the steps on this card are too complicated, but there are a bunch of layers and the card opens in a different way which makes it a bit more involved. It's also...
Parisian Love
This is the first card that we made at the South Burlington club gathering in January. The layers are what made this card a little more involved (thus earning first-spot honors for the evening). For the embossed layer I was inspired by one of the samples in the...
Happy Birthday Oprah!
I did a quick Google search to see who is celebrating their birthday today, and I was delighted to find that today is Oprah Winfrey's special day. So, I would love to take this opportunity to send this card virtually to her! The background stamp that you see here is...
Thinking of the Sea
We are in "deep winter" now, and this always gets me thinking about stealing away to a warm beach for a break. In fact, my hubby and I are working on getaway plans right now, so this is especially timely. This card was another of the make-n-take projects from the...
Wish for Ellen Degeneres
Ellen is so inspiring and fun, and I really do think that we need more people like her! I would love to send her this card to tell her so. But I will have to settle for sharing it here virtually. This card was one of the make-n-take projects at the OnStage event I...
