Can't believe this is the last day of April.  I should be making a graduation card since my youngest son is graduating from college this weekend! I opted for one of those cards that moves and plays music. Shame on me, I know! Instead,  I created a birthday card for the Creating Pretty Cards Challenge at Craft Project Central (CPC34). I never seem to have enough birthday cards. CPC34

Two more projects left for April. Today's Craft Project Central project was created by Judi Sparks. Spring time brings to mind warmer weather, end of school and vacations. Why not get your vacation scrapbook ready now? I have designed this little scrapbook to look like a camera and it will hold your 4” x 6” photos or postcards. While on vacation, pick up a post card or two each day and

Today's Craft Project Central  project is by yours truly...me! I hope you enjoy it.   Nothing says "Thank You" or "Thinking of You", to me, more than fresh baked bread. Even better... fresh baked bread beautifully wrapped! This week I will show you how to dress up your favorite mini loaf of bread with a beautiful bread box, oval punch bow and matching card using

This week the Stamp Review Crew is "reviewing" the Stampin'Up! set Fabulous Florets. This is a great floral set with both outline and silhouette images. It has been out for a while, so what new ideas can the "Crew" come up with? I took my color inspiration from this chair in my newest Pier 1 Imports catalog. I love the colors. Not normal ones I would put together.  Both cards

Good M-o-r-n-i-n-g ... Stampers! It's time for another Stamp Review.  This week the Stamp Review Crew will be reviewing Stampin'Up!s Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. This can be a difficult set to use other than for backgrounds, so I'm looking forward as well to the Crew's ideas! I've paired both of my projects with the Stampin'Up! sentiment set Yippee-Skippee!

Today I am posting the same card in two versions. I used the stamp set En Francais for the layered backgrounds. This set has been around as long as I've been a demonstrator. It makes a beautiful background for all kinds of projects. The Secret Garden stamp set was used to create the flowers. The flower in the first card was created in two layers and the flower in the second card was

This card is cased from a card in the 2012-2013 Idea Book and Catalog. I am doing a quick post so I won’t forget the dimensions again. The young couple is having an informal, country themed wedding. The card base is a 5x10” piece of window sheet, scored in half. A 4 3/4” piece of Going Gray card stock is attached to the inside, back window sheet. The Whisper White was cut out using the

                       I am still around and had a chance yesterday to make 2 birthday cards. Even though my posts are few and far between, I still enjoy keeping my blog up. These are called “cascading” cards and the instructions can be found at Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie.  They are fairly easy to make using her

What do you give a guy on Valentine’s Day? We’ve got a few ideas for you! My eldest daughter made her brothers at college magnetic paper dolls. She wanted to give them something a little more than a card, something to make them laugh, something to take their mind off school and something to fit their personality. This first guy is a Spartan. My youngest son, Jacob loves the movies about the

Today’s cards were created using a bargello technique. To get this look, I cut the More Amore Specialty Designer paper and Red Glimmer paper into 1/4”, 1/2” and 3/4” strips and glued them onto a piece of card stock with a glue stick. I picked two different sides of the More Amore paper and mixed in Glimmer Paper to give it some shine! I then put it through the Big Shot using the Hearts
