Welcome Back!

It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a blog post. While it needs a lot of updating and work, I’ve decided to start using it again. On my own blog, I won’t have to apologize for my opinions, or offending someone. My page, my content. I am traveling right now, so won’t be working

Weekly Stampset challenge

I’m ready to start some new challenges for myself with crafting! I am going to grab the first stamp set on my shelf, and in the drawers, and work up a couple of cards using it. I plan on working my way through all of the stamp sets sitting there, trying to use one

Color change is spectacular

OMG- I love the color change here where we leave. This year has been incredible. Maybe because we’ve had so much rain? I’m not sure, but the colors have been eye popping. We’ve been driving about to the different areas as often as we could get out the past couple of weeks, and just enjoying

Autumn – my favorite season

Autumn is definitely my favorite season, especially where we live. Incredible color changes in the trees makes it a popular color tour area.

Polka dots – one of my favorites

Polka dots- always one of my favorites. Doesn’t matter if it’s paper, fabric, or giftwrap. I just love polka dots. These were a couple of cards that are more summery in feel but I wanted to play with the Stampin Up polka dot ribbon, so out come the polka dot paper. I even have dresses

The Eyes have it!

Sometimes, you have to try something a bit different. A friend recently had eye surgery, so I wanted to come up with a get well card specifically for eyes. Not an easy thing to do, but I found a nice eye chart clip art graphic that was free to use. Then I spent a bit

Challenged – sketch challenges

One of the swaps I attended recently had a challenge you could sign up for. They gave you a “card sketch” that you used to create your own card at home. Envelopes were passed out with names and addresses, and you mailed your created card off. You only had to mail one card, and we

Going to the dogs…

This days worth of cards was all about the dogs. I’m a big animal lover, and always seem to be low on cat and dog cards. Was using up some leftover papers, so a few different looks. Still need to work on some cat cards, but I’ll save that for another day.

Back on track….. maybe.

I haven’t posted in a long time, but I’m back. Hoping to try and stay on a more regular schedule with postings and updates now. We are into fall, and almost transitioning to winter already. Have had our first snow and nights are cold now. Color change was spectacular this year; not sure if that’s
