Last month I was blessed to have met Best Selling Author, Susan Branch at a book signing here in Austin. If you've been following me on Facebook, you saw that I was the winner of the specially autographed book, Martha's Vineyard, as well as one of her paint brushes and a piece of her water…
Before I started out to make these cards, I hadn't realized the Tree Builder Punch Is So CUTE! The clouds are from Swirly Bird stamp set. The grassy hill is from Sheltering Tree stamp set. I used my computer to create the sentiment that got punched out because …. can you believe it ….. I…
I wanted to do a special set of cards for the ladies in my swap group, so I made Touches of Texture From The Garden. When the temperatures outside "feels like 106" I had no trouble at all finding time to sit and snip out the floral images from the Touches of Texture stamp set. …

With Father's Day around the corner, you might be looking for a quick and easy masculine card idea. This one is all about using punches to cut out the Going Global images as well and making the rings. This next card uses the same idea and stamp set, but I've made "rings" with a set…
