Sweet Little Baby

Hi Stampers,

Thanks with a Peacock

Hi Stampers,
I’m all for recycling things whenever possible. That’s a new term for what my mother has been doing for about 90 years now. She never threw away anything…ever…for all those “just in case you need …

A Dual-Purpose Get Well Card

Hi Stampers!
Today’s card serves two purposes:
1) With the flu and disease-of-the-week season coming up, I assume I’ll need a get well card at some point. How’s that for being morbid?

Repurposed Card #2

Hi again, Stampers,
Here’s the second card using the same technique and stamp set as yesterday’s post, but this time it became a Thank-you card.  Another difference is that I embossed two leaves (as in the …

My Also-ran “Wedding” Card #1

Hi Stampers,
The other day I posted a wedding invitation and mentioned that I had made a few other cards for the bride’s consideration. This is one of those and instead was turned into a simple “Hello” card. The next …

The Best Time of Year in Utah

Hi Stampers,
I thought rather than posting another card today, I’d take you on a tour of the Fall colors around my neighborhood. Enjoy!

I’m not sure what the official  name of this tree is, but I …

Last Rose of the Summer

Hi Stampers,
No stamping on this card? No embellishments? Only one layer? Is that even LEGAL??
It’s mid-October and there are only a few roses left in front of my house, so I thought a card for the last …
