Stamping fun in June
This month, I've had a need for several cards for different reasons. One needed to be a card that would be more suitable for a guy. I saw a cute stamp on sale of a pocket watch, so I got it to use with this embossing folder of clock faces. I embossed blue cardstock, then …
A Card for Mother’s Day
Normally I would show the card I made for my MIL before Mother's Day, but she reads my blog and I didn't want her to see it until she got it in the mail. The idea here can be modified for any holiday or occasion, just change the sentiment. I decided on yellow when I …

Stamping Fun in March
Now that I have a truly organized and wonderful stamping space, I made some cards for friends. There seems to be a constant need lately for support and cheering up. I got out this pretty lavendar rose paper, and it was easy to pick coordinating colors from the paper shelf, now that the colors are …
Stamping score at the Estate sale
It is well known that I am a thrift store and estate sale junkie. When I got an email from my favorite estate sale company showing a house with one whole room dedicated to stamping, I knew I had to go to that one. Bonus was it was close to home! Running over there, they …
Stamping Cards in February
It has been a month of misfortune for some of my friends. After having two in physical therapy rehab early in the month, I found out recently that my Stampin Up demonstrator, Gail, had shoulder surgery. Another friend broke her leg requiring significant reconstructive surgery with hardware. Yet another friend had major kidney surgery. So, …
