Do You Dare?
This card was the simpler card that the Essex stamp club group created at the September gathering. After busily coloring for their first card (which I'll share soon), they moved on to this design that leverages the fun image in the Monster Bash DSP. I know I've said...
Getting in the Spirit
When I received the Holiday catalog, I decided to splurge on the product medley. Subsequently I signed up for a demonstrator-only swap and used this stamp set for my creation. I made 11 of these cards for the swap and I hope the other demonstrators are happy with what...
Congratulations Peter Dinklage
I didn't watch the Emmys this year, and from the critics reviews I didn't really miss much. But, it sounds like the various winners were the real high point, which may be what it should be all about anyhow. At any rate, I was very excited to hear the Peter Dinklage...
Night Before Christmas
I'm partnering with my good friend (and fellow Demo) Heather to offer a Holiday Stamp-A-Stack featuring these papers. I'm busy creating samples so we can pick the designs that you'll get to make, but I can say that so far I'm having great fun with the images on these...
Halloween Cuteness
This was the more involved card that the South Burlington stamp club made last week. I am absolutely besotted with the cute images in the stamps and patterned paper from the Monster Bash Suite. I have had a couple of projects where I colored the vampire and mummy...
Happy Birthday Jim Henson
I know that Jim Henson can't receive a physical birthday card any more, but I would still like to virtually share a card with his spirit on his special day. His creative genius paved the way for the juggernaut that is Sesame Street and his influence is still being...
Approaching Fall
There is a definite chill in the air each morning now, and I just heard a weather forecast calling for frost tonight. I AM NOT READY! I don't mind Fall, in fact it can be very pretty. It's what comes after that I'm dreading - stick season (what we lovingly call it...
Fall Colors
I decided to take the day off from work yesterday, and I got to play with my stamping stuff. I first tried this great craft in the late summer several years ago, and every year I re-discover how much I love to create with Fall colors. I drew inspiration for the colors...
Birthday Time!
This is an example of the latest batch of birthday cards for the birthday card ministry at our church. Some months I create a bunch of a card design myself and other times I meet up with some lovely volunteers to assemble them. This summer I mostly did them on my own...
Bill Withers Original
I love the lyrics in the song entitled "Lean On Me" which was written and sung by Bill Withers. We sing it occasionally at church and I love it every time. The song is a strong reminder of how inter-connected and dependent we are on each other. And it is also a great...
