Look what I received in the mail today from Bethany Paull – an RAK congratulating me on becoming a member of the Dirty Dozen on Splitcoast! There was a stack of mail in the mailbox, but I could see right away that this was a handmade card because Bethany stamped that lovely Champagne Girl image on the [...]

I’ve been meaning to participate in last week’s Limited Supply Challenge on Splitcoast and finally had the time to put this card together this morning.

I finally made a birthday card for my niece who turned 5 on Monday — I’m just a little bit late! Over the last three years, I’ve made her birthday cards using kid-friendly sets like Pretty Princess, Unfrogettable and Fishy Friends.

I will definitely miss this wonderful stamp set! It has been a great set for making masculine cards, which for me can be difficult to create. I used the layout from this week’s Sketch Challenge over on Splitcoast. The original layout is from a fabulous card done by Trudee. To see more of her awe-inspiring [...]

Right before I got sick, I had ordered the Butterfly Kisses set from PAPERTREYink. It has been sitting on my kitchen counter for almost two weeks now gathering dust. Today is the first day I actually got to play with it! This is also the very first time I have used acrylic stamps so it [...]
