Side Step Ornaments
I admit it, I'm a total sucker for "fun fold" cards, in other words cards that open in unique ways. This one is called a side-step card, and I've been hankering to try one for quite a while. I designed this one for the card buffet earlier this month....
Blue Christmas
I designed this card for the early December stamp club gathering. I was inspired by another sketch for this one, and I am just plain tickled at how it turned out. There are three - yes 3 - embossed layers on this card. I also really love that I was able to use some...
A cup of cheer
I designed this card a while ago when I was searching for a sketch challenge for a holiday card. I came across the sketch on the right here when I was searching on the web, and I just had to make a card using it. I immediately thought of the coffee cup from the...
Joyous Wreath
I have seen so many gorgeous cards made with this bundle of stamps and Framelits from the Holiday catalog. You can see many different ideas out on Pinterest when you search based on the stamp set. This card is my own design, but I did find some inspiration when I did...

A Christmas Screen
Well - it is certainly starting to look more Christmas-y out there today with our very wet snow that fell over night. The weather inspired me to share this Christmas screen card that we made in Stamp Club last month. I had no idea, but apparently these cards were all...
Cyber Monday Stampin’ Up! Style
Today is the second opportunity for Stampin' Up! doorbuster deals. The goodies available for today only are two amazing bundles - the Project Life bundle and the Gift Box bundle. Sadly, the Blendabilities bundle sold out crazy fast. There must have been a whole...
Giving Thanks
There have certainly been challenges this year, but I also recognize that I have many blessings in my life, too. This card reminds me to consider all of those blessings and to stop and give thanks for them. What are you thankful for in this season of being thankful? I...
Thankful for you
We are getting very close to the big Turkey Day celebration now! My hubby is getting ready to bake an apple-y surprise dessert, and we're both waiting with anticipation as our son rides the bus down from Montrèal to join us for the holiday. It is going to...
