We’re only a few weeks into Winter and I’m done. We haven’t gotten a great deal of snow, but the cold. The cold makes me anxious. Every single fraction of an inch of snow has turned to ice. Just walking out the front door is treacherous. So I thought today I would step up and […]

I was introduced to this type of stamping several years ago by a friend. I played around with it and really loved the effect. I still have one of the images that I stamped and colored on my desk. The idea is to stamp the image so that it’s barely visible on the paper. For […]

It’s cold. I mean single digit cold. Not much snow to speak of, but when I go outside my lips freeze. Fun stuff! I grew up in Northern California and saw snow fall 2 times in my first 20 years. It didn’t stick either time. Schools were delayed one of those times. Then I married […]

I had to take a bit of a break from all things Christmassy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still in the spirit, but after wrapping for four hours, I just needed to look at something that wasn’t green and red. Before I share what I made, I have to give a shout out. We have […]

Every year I do a different white on white card. This year I had to shake it up with this sparkling gold ribbon I love the starkness of white on white. It looks like snow!! Speaking of snow. It’s the 8th of December and we’ve had so very little snow so far. I always believe […]

Ok, so this card came about when I asked my hubby to come up with a three color combo that you would not associate with Christmas. His combo was Teal, Yellow and Orange. Now, I’m a color lover, so I really took this as a challenge to make these colors into a Christmas card. Let […]

I have kind of a funny story about today’s card. I received a box of supplies from Crafter’s Companion. They put a few goodies in with my order (score!) and one thing was this stamp called Lola. The picture on the front shows the girl sitting on the edge of the tub with all her […]

As of this morning, I have 16 Christmas cards made. I only send about half a dozen. My problem is that I love making Christmas cards! It’s a good thing I have family that will adopt my leftovers. I can’t bring myself to charge them for the cards, either. Maybe I should make a few […]
