Hi Everyone! I’m back to share my second card with Splitcoastampers. The theme again was “Songs from the Heart” and the song that came to mind was “Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle. My dad passed away before I turned 2 so that song has always had a soft spot in my heart. There’s an absence … More Bella with Friend
Hi Everyone! I know this card seems late – but it was the first card I did for Splitcoastampers back in February for the theme Songs From The Heart. I chose the song “My Valentine” by Martina McBride and made my card using that inspiration. I did a wash of watercolor using Zig Clean Color … More Bloomin’ Love
Hello there! I missed the May challenge for LiveLoveCards so I thought I would play along this month since I’m caught up on my Splitcoaststamper cards for the month. This month’s theme is LARGE SENTIMENTS. It’s really hard for me to decide what I want to do until I decide what stamp sets I want to … More Birthday Balloon Animals
Evan turned 7 yesterday. We had a full weekend of activities for him which started out with this donut party. It was so easy to plan and put together – probably the least stressful I’ve had because it required so little preparation. Happy Birthday to my sweet boy – I can’t believe he’s 7 now! … More Donut Party
Happy National Donut Day! I find it ironic that we are having a donut party for my son’s 7th birthday tomorrow – I’ll be posting about it after tomorrow so stay tuned! The one I’m sharing with you now is a card I did for Splitcoaststampers in March – it’s been 3 months so I … More Donut Worry!
Hi, Everyone! Before I start – I want to disclose that this idea is not mine. It’s Jennifer McGuire’s – she’s BRILLIANT. I didn’t feel the need to make a video because her’s is full of information and tips. I don’t have the same supplies as her so I wanted to post how I changed … More 2016 Teacher’s Card Gift Set
One of the first cards I ever made was a graduation card for my husband when he graduated from medical school 2 years ago. I did not own any stamps at that time and was just introduced to card making by my then-neighbor, Karen. Her son is now graduating from college and I feel so … More 2016 Graduate
Wow – I cannot believe 3 weeks have passed since Lyla was born. It’s been about 5 weeks since I last posted – sorry for that. I find it much harder to craft than I had expected with this time off. This recovery has been much more difficult than with my previous children. Lyla arrived … More Update and Garden in Bloom Card
Hi, Everyone! I’ve been on a Lawn Fawn kick lately – especially with my Splicoaststamper designs. I think this is the last one for now – until the next release because I’m a total sucker for these stamp sets. The Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker hype has died down a lot, hasn’t it!? I … More Fairy Friends Using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers
Hi, Everyone! So sorry it’s been a while since I last posted here! I’ve been working overtime and trying to fulfill my commitment with Splitcoaststampers to design cards for the next 5 months. I’m just about done for this month so I thought I’d squeeze this card in for my personal blog. If you want … More Spring Flowers on Vellum
Hey, Everyone! I’ve been producing a lot of mass projects lately with the holidays and I had to do it again this morning for “Thank You” tags that I wanted to make for my neighbors who incorporated a shower into our monthly ladies’ night. I wanted to make these tags coordinate with my nursery theme, … More Baby Shower Thank You Tags
Hi, Everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted so I wanted to update you all. Last week was INSANE! The Lunar New Year fell on the same week as many school activities (Career Day and Spring pictures) and Valentine’s Day. Between that and taking care of sick kids, I’ve been exhausted! I’ve got tons … More Exciting News!
So did you think the New Year has already begun? Not for those who follow the Lunar Calendar! The Lunar New Year (Chinese/Vietnamese New Year) is next week. It’s a 3 day celebration with lots of festivities – one of which includes these lucky red envelopes. We put money in them and pass them out … More 2016 Year of the Monkey Lucky Red Envelopes
Hello again! I thought I would make a quick card to stay up to date with LiveLoveCards‘s monthly challenges. I do one every month but am way behind this month. I think I had a hard time deciding what to do because there were so many options this month. I chose this one because I’ve … More Doodle Buds
Happy Birthday to my youngest, Liam! He’s 3 today! He wont be the youngest for much longer! Here’s a picture I posted on Instagram and Facebook this morning: Instead of making him a card he won’t enjoy or remember, I’ve spent the couple of nights working on Valentine’s Day cards for my older boys to … More 2016 Classroom Valentine’s Day Cards
