What's new?

I put a new card on the Christmas page. Check it out... it's easy to do, yet elegant.

I discovered a new embossing technique from Lasting Impressions. They are brass plates that you trace with a stylus and cut out, very cute. With Christmas looming, I haven't had much time to try them out but I did make a few Thank you's with the tea kettle and a snowman card.

Sweet Shoppe

The Sweet Shoppe collection now includes holiday goodies! See it on the Christmas page.

Busy as an elf in Santa's workshop!

I have been crafting up a storm and enjoying the process of using the same pattern multiple times, but creating different designs for it. I have new pics on the Christmas and Business Card Holder pages. I love the feedback so please post when the spirit moves you!

Christmas is Coming!

Wow! September is half over and you know how October and November fly right by... I've started thinking Christmas and created a few pocket cards today. Some Christmas tags and a gift card are the perfect match for these little cards and they go nicely into a Christmas stocking. Check the page for Pocket Cards.

Welcome to the Sweet Shoppe

On the Birthday Card page I've added two new cards... The Sweet Shoppe collection has begun!

So many ideas, so little time!

Found a cute way to make a business card holder from paper and converted my garden apron to a tool apron.

The little tools on this card came from Hobby Lobby. If you don't have this store in your city I feel sorry for you! It is an incredible store, with everything from soup to nuts for crafters and decorators. They are online at hobby lobby.com but the store has so much more to offer.

Sharing

It is very inspiring to be able to share ideas with other crafters and I am so thankful for my sister, Sherry, and my good friend, Barbara, with whom I share and collaborate. They are both so creative and introduce me to new ideas through their unique styles, which are different than mine.

Getting Started

Sitting at my dining room table with my sister Sherry. Can't see the table cloth for all the paper, glue, punches... we are making cards and trying to figure out how to do this blog. So bear with me while I learn as I go.

I'll be sharing my cards, my favorites, and what I learn along the way.
