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...
Stay Well Julia Louis-Dreyfus
I just learned that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a breast cancer survivor. In 2017 she received her diagnosis, and she successfully completed her treatment. Since I just had a screening mammogram, this is in the forefront of my brain. I hope that Julia stays cancer-free for...
Love-ly Sampler
I'm so excited to offer another sampler class. Previous classes have been popular and I enjoy designing them, so I decided to create one for Valentine's Day. The interesting thing about this one is that it isn't exclusively for Valentine's Day; the sentiments and...
