Good morning. Let's start off the day with a nice photo of the pear tree in bloom. I went out when the sun came out earlier in the week to get a better shot of the lovely white flowers with the mountain background. It is something to help your mood this morning as we all …

Stamping Thank You Cards
While watching a stamping video last weekend, a phrase caught my attention about mixing prints. The class was fantastic and very inspiring, so I went to the stamping workbench to see what I could do. One tip she gave that really rings true was to mix the scale of prints if you are using more …
Stamping Fun in August
Stamping was lots of fun in August, with the Safelight Project and making some thank you cards for friends. When I have a number of cards to do at once, I sometimes will use elements from other cards I have received. I'll cut up those cards for bookmarks and gift tags, and sometimes I keep …
