A particularly sweet winter memory from childhood involved “tobogganing” behind the truck as Daddy pulled Bill and I on a sled down the icy streets of Albuquerque. Daddy drove slowly while Mom sat on the tailgate holding the rope as we squealed and laughed around corners of those empty NE neighborhoods before construction took over….

I want you know how to create from a favorite style of cards because there are so many different variations from season to season, stamps that come and go, and occasions, too! This card starts with Very Vanilla thick card stock from Stampin’ Up! I love a card that feels kinda hefty in the hand….
Two of the stamp sets that were on sale yesterday carried forward from LAST YEAR, so I used Christmas Season stamps and Autumn colors to come up with something for this season. Aren’t they pretty? Totally inspired by Cheri Stojkovich last year and saved to my Pinterest Board. The sentiment comes from Christmas to Remember…
I bought three different kinds of Designers Series Paper, but I love Rings Of Love the best for Thanksgiving cards! It was one of the free papers included in this Autumn’s Sale-a-bration and I’m so glad that I snagged it! Just look at how lovely this page is! Whimsical, bright, every color you can hope…

While I started making cards for the Arts & Craft Fair, I had a lot of card “fronts” donated. But, oh dear, they didn’t fit on a card base! Die cut additions hung over the side and wouldn’t fit into an envelope without folding. These failures make me sad for the generous card maker who…
Knowing how to get perfect placement of your Designer Series Paper in a hurry can save a lot of tears. You know how it is … people know you make cards so you can’t send them something from a boxed set, right? Just when your expectations of your holiday prep couldn’t get any more stressful,…
I can’t help myself when I use these colors, thinking that all the Autumn cards could be masculine birthday cards, too! I love how the Designer Series Papers have two sides to them, and I especially love this because I can use the card sketches I’m saving to serve two purposes! Let me show you…
