This is one of my favorite fun folds. The Blackberry Bliss is the folding layer, and it is all mounted on a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Old Olive base. I used stamps from “Many Blessings” on the stitched oval, and I colored them with Stampin’ Blends. The greeting is … Continue reading

I’m using two new stamps here, and these will be available from our holiday collection starting September 5. The pot of sunflowers is from the set “Many Blessings”, and the plaid background stamp is “Buffalo Check”.

Fourth of July Projects and More!
These Fourth of July projects from last night’s Facebook Live could easily be made into birthday projects. They use the new stamp sets “Birthday Backgrounds” and “Blow Out the Candles”. I chose Blueberry Bushel and Lovely Lipstick for this seasonal look, but they could be made in any colors. I … Continue reading
Memorial Day
Our country remembers its heroes today. Saying “thank you” seems so inadequate when thinking of the tremendous sacrifices that are made by individuals and families in the service of our country. I have the greatest respect for them, and I am grateful. I also absolutely love to see the red, … Continue reading
Petal Passion Designer Paper

My upline Mindy Gray sent me this collection of cards made the Hearts Come Home bundle, one of my favorites. I just love them! They each look special, without being too complicated. The Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler cards use a standard card base – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored … Continue reading
Waterfront Sneak Peek
Today’s card feels appropriate with the winter weather that has arrived in Ohio. We have a light covering of snow, and the skies have been gray. I used “Waterfront” from the upcoming 2018 Occasions Catalog to make my card. This set will be fabulous for nature scenes in all seasons. I do … Continue reading
