Read MoreThere are lots of amazing colours in the Stampin’ Up! colour families, but sometimes I like to take advantage of all the lovely neutrals we have as well.

Read MoreIt may be the middle of winter, and it sounds like we are in for some bad snow storms this weekend, but I know some people are headed off to warmer climates, and a few rounds of golf. Perhaps you have a golf vacation planned, and here is a card to get you “in the swing” (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!!)
Read MoreThere are lots of cards with beautiful flower images, soft colours, and feminine touches. They are lovely, but sometimes you need a card that has a definite masculine tone to it. I know there are a lot of people that struggle to make this type of card, so today I offer some masculine inspiration in my masculine moment.
Read MoreHave you seen all the fabulous new InColours yet? I am really liking them, along with the coordinated products like the ribbon on my card today.
Read MoreThe Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge is to create a masculine card. I love making masculine cards, as they are very different than the ones we tend to make with flowers. (Although I love those too!!) I like to add a little extra challenge sometimes, and today I have added a twist to my masculine card. Can you find something on my card that may not be considered masculine?
Read MoreAs a crafter of any type, we end up with left over bits, projects half done, and pieces we were going to use in a project, but changed things up and did not. In one of my posts I mentioned I had gathered up all those bits and pieces to make them into cards. While I did use some bits at my last Girls Get Away Weekend, I still have lots of goodies in my box, so I’m going to try to pull some out on a regular basis and make them into something!
Read MoreI know Father’s Day isn’t until June, but hey I posted a Christmas card recently so surely I can show a Father’s Day card now!! While I was playing with the Geared Up Garage stamp set, I set a goal to use all the stamps, so I made a Father’s Day card to use that stamp.
Read MoreToday MSH (My Sweet Husband) and I are celebrating 3 months of marriage! If you have been married for many years, congratulations! Relationships take work, and I commend you on working throgh the tough times. You also know that the early days mean adjusting to new routines, and being with the one you love each and every day. MSH and I are settling in to our new routines very nicely, and I love how our days play out. As newlyweds, we celebrate each passing month, making it our special date day. Of course this is the man that bought me flowers every month we were dating, so his romantic side is not new to me! Each month I make a special card for him to celebrate.
