Monet Inspiration
When I saw these absolutely gorgeous papers at OnStage in Charlotte, I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. Every time that I've had a conversation about these papers, people have commented that they are reminded of Monet's art with these pretty sheets. It turns out...
So Much Cake!
I pulled out some retired products to create a whole bunch of these cards for the birthday card ministry at our church. Typically I use current stamps (at least), but I had a vision in my head, and these retired stamps were just the ticket for what I needed. I created...
Bonus Days Are Here!
I think this is the 3rd (or perhaps it's the 4th?) year that Stampin' Up! has held the Bonus Days event for the month of July. The principal is very simple. For every $50 of merchandise (before tax and shipping) that you purchase in July, you will earn a $5 coupon...
Sailing CASE
This is the second card that I designed for the Essex stamping group. As I mentioned the other day, I wanted to use the same stamp sets that I used for the South Burlington gathering. Like that meeting, the card featuring the Sailing Home stamps was the less involved...
Black-eyed Susan
When I was designing cards for the Essex stamping group, I decided that I would use the same stamp sets that I used with the South Burlington group. Both sets feel perfect for early-Summer stamping, and it made my life easy in terms of figuring out what to do. For...
Anchors Aweigh!
This is the simpler creation that I designed for the South Burlington stamp club group. After toiling so hard on those pretty flowers, this card came together lickety-split. I was inspired in this design by a Stampin' Up! friend to the north. Her name is Jackie, and...
Floral Overload
I admit it, I went over the top when I designed this card for the South Burlington stamp club group. I used the sample of the frame on page 23 as my inspiration for the flower. Here's a portion of that project so you can see what I'm talking about. This was definitely...
Inspiring Iris
This pretty stamp set was part of my recent purchase from the new catalog. I tried to restrain myself because I can tend to go a little crazy with all the newness. But I just had to have this pretty set! There are several things that I waited to order that I had to...
Sailing Toward Dreams
I think this greeting is perfect for multiple purposes - graduation, retirement, or someone starting out on a new job. I don't have a recipient in mind right now, so I'll add it to my stash for future use. You wouldn't believe how big my stash is! I created this card...
Welcome Baby Archie!
I just read a headline that Megan Markle is going to be bringing baby Archie Harrison for a visit here in the US. For some reason, despite the American Revolution we here in the US are still fascinated with the Royals. I hope their trip to visit with Megan's mom is...
