Sunburst Birthday
This is the second card that we made at a party I put together for a friend in March. She was interested in the tag bundle from the Occasions catalog, so I got to work designing this card. This was actually a pretty quick and easy card, and the guests seemed to enjoy...
Retirement 2017
It's that time of year again - the retirement list has come out and the purchasing frenzy is on! Stampin' Up! actually released the retirement list on Monday, but I was vacationing in beautiful Savannah Georgia so I'm a bit delayed in getting the word...
Happy Kites
I created this for the March meeting of the Essex stamp club. This was the second card of the evening, and I thought it would be the simpler one of the two. The first one was the sunburst card that I shared recently. As it turned out, they thought that this card was...
Fabulous Friend
As this post hits the internet, I'm busy enjoying a day of stamping fun at a Stampin' Up! event called "OnStage". I attended the very first one of these specific events a year and a half ago in Baltimore - this time I've traveled to Savannah Georgia. I'm hanging out...
Watercolor Background Greeting
I created this card for my South Burlington stamp club gals for our March gathering. They were all wondering why I asked them to bring a cutting board to club, and they weren't sure what I meant - actual kitchen cutting board, or a paper crafting cutting mat....
Pretty Boxes
I created these two cute little gift boxes for a recent stamping workshop that I held for a friend. I found directions on the inter-webz on the blog of an amazing demonstrator from the UK (here is the blog post she shared). She used her creation to hold some jumbo tea...
Blue-ish Sunburst
I decided to revisit the sunburst technique to show these papers off to the Essex stamp club ladies. A couple of years ago I was quite enamored with this look and shared a few cards here. This stamp club started up at the beginning of this year, so I can dip into my...
Colorful, Happy Wishes
The So. Burlington stamp club gals made this card last evening at our monthly gathering. We were originally scheduled to get together a couple of weeks ago, but we had to defer due to the big snow storm that we had raging. I know that last evening was far more...
Success in Life
The phrase on this card - "Live, Laugh, Love" has become ubiquitous. For a few years now it has been popping up in home decorating items, bumper stickers, and many other things. It is a shortened phrase that seems like very good words to live by. I did a little...
London Friend
My heart is heavy today as I'm listening to updated reports regarding the attack that happened in London yesterday. I visited this fine city for work several years ago, and I was amazed at the friendliness of the people that I met and the wonderful cultural...
