Prayers for Stephen

June 30, 2015

My sweet husband Stephen is taking his Step 3 Medical Board Exam today. It’s a 9 hour gruesome test. Any prayers sent our way would be wonderful. Thanks, Everyone! *HUGS*

This is the second birthday card that I made for m husband’s niece, Adrienne. I’m using a set by Simon Says Stamp called Baby Party Animals. These animals are soo cute! This card is simple as far as stamping goes, but takes a little bit of effort to color since there’s not much space there. … More Baby Party Animals

For the past two nights, I’ve been updating my inventory and recoding a lot of my supplies to include more than one place where items can be found/purchased. It’s a lot of work! Thumbs up and props … More You’ve Got This – I’m Here For You

Birthday Celebration

June 22, 2015

Hi there! I hope everyone had a wonderful Father’s Day with their loved ones. We went out and had a late breakfast and stopped at Lowe’s to get some Hydrangea bushes – so my husband spent this evening getting sweaty :). He’s a big sweetie and I’m sure he didn’t mind! I made a card … More Birthday Celebration

Distress Watercolor Over Embossed Canvas

June 19, 2015

Hi Everyone! I made a birthday card for my nephew – and I seem to have trouble making cards that are more masculine. I lean towards using light colors – which typically make my cards look more feminine. I’ve used a lot of different advice from people in this video on how to make cards … More Distress Watercolor Over Embossed Canvas

Pure Innocence – Hello Cupcake

June 16, 2015

My sweet friend, Karen’s birthday is this weekend. She lived next door to me at our last home and was the one who introduced me to stamping and card making a few weeks before my move to Ohio.

I ordered a 60 count set of the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers from Amazon about 3 weeks ago and it was being imported from Japan.

The Start to Copics

May 28, 2015

Hello Everyone! Copics, Copics, Copics! I hardly know where to begin with this post because I’ve put so much thought into my purchase. When I became a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator last August, I was resistant to using their new Blendabilities markers – mostly because I was new to stamping and was so overwhelmed with the … More The Start to Copics
