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...
Blessed with Roses
I finally got my act together to bust out some of the new goodies that I purchased from the new Annual catalog. When I saw some samples using this stamp set at OnStage, I just knew that I had to buy it. I really enjoyed stamping with these images and I'm sure I'll use...
Birthday Blast
This card was another experiment for the last batch of birthday cards for the card ministry. Again, I decided that it was too involved for mass production. This time it was the fussy cutting of the party hats that made me decide against it. Now if I had dies to cut...
Happy Birthday Shelley!
Yesterday my good friend Shelley celebrated her birthday, and I totally missed it. So... I'm sharing this birthday card with everyone a day late and I hope that she sees it. This is actually a card that I put together when I was figuring out the next batch of birthday...
Varied Vases
I took a little time yesterday to create this card so I could participate in a couple of challenges that are current. I will add this to my stash of birthday cards that I keep on hand for last-minute giving. I do like how this layout came together so perhaps I will...
Daffodils For You
This is the first (more complicated) card that the stamp club group made on Wednesday evening. You are probably wondering why this card is "complicated" because from this photo it doesn't look very unique. I try to have the first card we make more challenging, and the...
Prayers going out
This is the second (way easier) card that the stamp club group made last evening. I wanted to take the opportunity to showcase this pretty stamp set that carried over from the Holiday catalog before it retires permanently on June 3rd. It is hard to tell that this set...
Remembering Doris Day
I was so sad to hear the news yesterday that Doris Day has passed away. Her movies were "oldies" when I was growing up, but I do remember watching a few of them on TV as classics. I always had the sense that her image was "the wholesome girl next door". We will...
Flowers for the Royal Baby
How exciting that Meghan and Harry now have welcomed the newest Windsor to the world! Perhaps Meghan would appreciate this pretty card to celebrate her delivery. I know it's not fancy, but perhaps she would like the handmade aspect. Oh well, I'll never know....
