I found the time to make a card after DD went to bed – how exciting! This one is for the Try a New Technique Challenge this week, which is a Two Way Open Card. Beth posted some awesome directions, so be sure to check it out.
I was in a mellow mood when I stamped [...]

Sorry about the terrible picture – my allergies are so bad I can barely see the camera anyway! I just hate pollen season I knew it would catch up to me eventually. And for some odd reason, I don’t think DH likes me with tissues stuffed up my nose, lol. So I spent most [...]

I made this for this week’s sketch challenge on SCS. I am really pleased with how this card came together. And all day long I have been singing “Blackbird” to myself! I love that song.
I discovered this ribbon at Michael’s recently, in the dollar spot area. I got several spools, all of them a bold [...]

I must know a zillion people (okay, I’m exaggerating slightly) that have a birthday in May. I am trying to get a jump on the cards I know I need to mail out. So far, I’ve made…one! I’m a bit slow, okay??
The inspiration for this color combo came from the fabulous dp, which is by [...]

Would you believe I have never done a “spotlight” card? What a fun technique! If you’ve never done it either, be sure to check out this tutorial over on SCS.
I was inspired to make use this technique when I saw this adorable card my friend Victoria made. It is such a sweet little card!
I used the new [...]

I made this card for Beate’s weekend sketch. As usual, it was a stunner of a sketch – so simple yet so many possibilities! Her blog is so much fun to drool over!
I knew going in that I wanted to use this Butterfly Scroll stamp that I got from Jacksonbelle Embellishments. I love it! I’m [...]

I did the Featured Stamper Challenge on Sunday, and spent some serious quality time drooling over Kharmagirl’s gallery. I mean – wow!! Her stuff is amamazing!
I eventually settled on this card, after adding more than a few to my personal favs gallery. She went with River Rock, which I totally love. I had a specific [...]

Is this not the cutest little owl?? He is part of the Garden Delight clear stamps set by Inkadinkado. I won the blog candy that Rose Ann over at Paper Delightz was giving away a little over a week ago. How fantastic is that? It came at the tail end of a spectacularly bad week, [...]

So, I’m wondering if this card is masculine enough to give it to my husband. I made it last week while he was out of town, and have been trying to decide about it ever since. The flowers are blue and brown, so that makes it masculine, right?????
I used Brilliance Cosmic Copper ink to stamp [...]

I just love this loud, colorful dp by Urban Lilly. Something about it screams *loud flower* to me, so that is just what I did. As soon as I saw it over at Jacksonbelle’s store, I knew I had to have it!! There is not too much stamping, but I didn’t think the dp really [...]

I had forgotten how I love this set!!! This card was for Monday’s Technique Challenge. I loved the whole idea – paper tole always turns out looking so cool. It took me a few minutes to decide what set to use. I rummaged through my drawer until I found this little cutie – he just looks [...]

I did it! With minutes to spare My goal yesterday was to finish and upload the color combo challenge — and it was 11:58 pm, EST when I uploaded this one to SCS. Woohoo!! It felt like it took me forever to finish this one — I kept starting and stopping and getting sidetracked [...]

I got these fab clear stamps by Inkadinkado on sale at AC Moore for $5.99 on Saturday – I love them! I super-duper love them because they were so cheap. Who doesn’t love cheap and fabulous?? (Okay…that looks bad when I type it!)
The card is pretty self explanatory. The bird is stamped with my new Brilliance black [...]
