Hello my friends! I'm sorry it's been a while since I posted! I have been busy working "behind the scenes" on some things that I can share with you soon, but today I thought I'd share something that I do when I need a quick card and just don't have time to stamp an image, color it up and create a card. This is a Flower Soft Scenic Window Set, available HERE. It has a variety of fully

Hello friends! I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! I certainly did! I spent the weekend in TN with family, and they spoiled me rotten with a BEAUTIFUL gift basket filled with all my favorite things.... coffee and chocolate!

Hello friends! We're still cleaning up the mess from the flood here on the lake, but I wanted to share something fun and different I tried. I did take a few pictures along the way to show you what I did. Forgive the background of my work spaces.... this was done not to be pretty, but to help you see the basics of the process. I decided to try using that real copper metal sheeting you can

Hello friends! I hope that where you are, you are enjoying wonderful weather! We have just had some pretty heavy rains, and even more so in the mountains where the streams empty in to the river that feeds the lake we live on, and we have been dealing with incredible flooding. Our lake crested at 9.9' above full pond, causing much damage to homes, docks, etc. We are blessed to be high

Hello friends! I have a card to share that I made using this month's Cathedral Window Marble, and the ODBD Custom Cathedral Window Die.

Today I have something just fun to share with you. I made an ornament using the Quatrefoil Design Die from Our Daily Bread designs. All I did to create this was die cut the Quatrefoil Design 5 times from white card stock. I also cut a length of gold cord long enough to pass through my beads at the bottom and to pass up to the top, where I tied it in a knot. I folded each panel in half, and
