For The Kid In Us

Regardless of your age, it is tough to deny how cute some of our animal stamps and images are. Cute animals have a way of taking us back to our childhood, and bringing out the aaaawwwww factor!

Masculine Birthday With Mountain Air

Remember I mentioned I was having fun playing with the Mountain Air stamp set? There is so much you can do with this stamp set, using the front or the ‘back’ of the reversible stamps.

Especially For You

I have been playing with the wonderful Mountain Air stamp set. This is a great set that has reversible stamps. One side stamps the details of the image, and the other provides solid shading.

Showered With Love

My daughter is getting married this summer, so wedding plans and preparations are well under way. Her ‘girls’ are getting ready to host a wedding shower for her, so I made some invitations for them.

Isn't That Fancy

If you know me, you know that I never send a card with a ‘naked’ envelope! I love to add a little stamp to the bottom left corner on the front my envelope. It just adds that little extra touch. Today I decided to go fancy on the back of some envelopes.

My Sad Rule

I have a bit of a rule with my stamping and card making. It is kind of a sad rule, but it is an important one.

No Heavy Lifting Here

I’m back using my Painted Poppies stamp set again, I just love it!! I wanted to use this set, but I wasn’t really in a colouring mood, so I let some Designer Series Paper do the heavy lifting for me this time.
