We’ve had snow, rain, more snow, hail, and strong winds all throughout February. I’m ready for spring! I’m ready for T-shirt’s, capris, and sandal. I can’t wait to open our windows again, drive in the sunshine, and watch the garden grow. While I wait for that to happen, I’m getting a start on spring cards.… Continue reading Happy Little Flowers
Zig Markers and succulents... a match made in heaven. These cards made me realize my love for Zigs. A little coloring, a little water brush action, and you got yourself some beautiful plants. I used three stamp sets for these cards, all from My Favorite Things: Distressed Patterns, Sweet Succulents, and Lots Of Hugs. Let… Continue reading Sweet Succulents

I’ve been stamping so much lately, I almost forgot how much I love pattern paper. The kit came with a lot of… Continue reading Monthly Kit Club Valentine Cards
It feels good being back in my craft room. I took nearly a month off. After helping my dad heal from surgery, I now have some free time again. But only a little free time... I now have a teething 8 month old daughter who is at the peak of her pain. Poor thing. So… Continue reading Playing with Glitter and Ink

Now that my dad is more independent, the holidays… Continue reading Christmas Thank You Cards
Purple is her favorite color. I keep this in mind every time I shop for my wonderful mother-in-law. This year I asked if I could make a few Christmas cards for her to send out to friends and family.
