One of the new sets in the Occasions Mini Catalog (good from April 1st to June 30th) is Wagon Full of Fun (113262, page 13). It's a very versatile set and since we are "Duck" fans, I just had to make this card. Stamp Set: Wagon Full of Fun Card Stock: So Saffron, Whisper White,…
I'm so gone on this paper, that I find myself picking it over all my other papers (and, yes, I have them all). With the new Scallop Oval punch available in the Occasions Mini Catalog, I've been using it almost exclusively. It's SO beautiful and adds so much to a card. And right now, if…
The Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set has become one of my all-time favorites. This is SUCH a versatile set and I have had fun using it. Here's a card I made that uses embossing. Very simple, but very elegant. No sentiment yet as I'm not sure when I will use it, but It's waiting for…

Sam (DH) and I are leaving in two weeks for our once-in-a-lifetime trip. We are taking a 7 week tour of Europe. I know, I can't really believe it's actually happening, because I have dreamed of this trip all my adult life (and that's a LONG time – just ask my kids!!), but we have…

We had our last Technique Tuesday – "Y" and "Z" Yarn Brayering This technique is quite fun and very simple. Easy to make a whole background with the yarn brayering and cut it up and use it for different cards. Wrap yarn around an acrylic brayer. Sport yarn that is cotton works best. Lightly mist…
