  • The 1st five get a goodie

    I was fortunate enough to be one of the first five commenter’s on Rachel’s Wonderfully Whimsy goodies giveaway. Now, it’s my turn to pay it forward. The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you! This offer does have a few “rules of play”: 1–…

  • Overalls Card

    Deneen Treble designed the cutest overalls template here. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to use it to make a card. I loved her idea of sanding blue cardstock to make it look like jeans. I used CTMH Outdoor Denim cardstock for this card and the Sanding Block that comes in…

  • Daisy Card

    This simple little card was made using Heavenly Blue Cardstock, CTMH’s Argyle and Happy Birthday stamp sets, some Chocolate Grosgrain Ribbon, White Daisy Just Blooms Flowers, and a few CTMH Buttons. Not much to it, but in my usual simple style, this is my latest creation….

I loved the simplicity of her card but of course didn’t have any felt on hand so I improvised. In addition to the CTMH Intrinsic Backgrounds stamp…

  • Teacher’s Valentines

    This is what I came up with for Ryan’s teachers and the office staff at his school. Since we are trying to save money these days (like everyone else) I went the inexpensive route. I found these fun little boxes of chocolate in the $1 section at Target and decided to wrap them up in…

  • Kid’s Valentines

    My little guy has 15 kids in his preschool class so I wanted to come up with something quick and easy for him to hand out on Friday for Valentine’s Day. Here is what we made. They are little 3″x3″ cards attached to a baggie containing conversation hearts. I used CTMH’s That’s Amore paper pack…
