This time of year has been a favorite time of year for me. It wasn’t always that way, as I’m sure as it is for you, Christmas is a favorite. When my brother was killed just three months after my husband left, our entire family fractured. I didn’t see that at the time, but looking…
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…
Do you like non-traditional colors for Christmas cards? I fell in love with this paper the minute I saw the new mini catalog in 2021.

I love this stamp set for every occasion, and this is just one more : Thanksgiving! Of course, October and November are my favorite months of the year, and the colors of clothing available right now makes my closet groan with new additions. While you’re chopping card stock, cut enough for 8 cards because they…
After living here in Texas 15 years, I had all but giving up on having Autumn again, but here we are having dips during the day and WONDERFUL nights! We made this card Tuesday at Coffee + a Card, and I shared with everyone the secret of making 8 cards at a time with this…
