  • What’s a girl to do?

    Sorry I don’t have any art to post tonight. I have spent most of my free time this weekend balancing my books and prepping our taxes in between my coughing fits. (My son and I are both sick.) I was happy to find that I actually made a profit this year with my CTMH business….

  • Embossed Frame card

    Staying true to (my latest) form, here is another simple card. I used one of CTMH’s beautiful metal Foundry Frames to emboss the chocolate cardstock. First I spritzed the cardstock with a little water on both sides. Then I laid it on top of the metal frame. I used my rubber brayer to roll over…

  • Single Photo Layouts

    I love creating layouts using a single photo. Sometimes you have that perfect photo that you want as the main focus. The layouts above are obviously of my two favorite subjects. My adorable kiddos. They were quick and easy to create because all I did was some “somewhat” random stamping down the page and mat…

    I did this couple years ago. I feel in love with the cover of the CTMH Spring 2006 catalog and decided to use it with a Fall theme. My favorite part of the layout is the photo. I attached it to heavy chipboard and then cut it with my paper trimmer and sanded around the…

Thanks Debbie. *Ü* Stamps: Paper Tray set from Papertrey, Oval Borders & Corners from Papertrey, Happy Birthday from CTMH Cardstock: CTMH Garden Green, White…

  • Floral Tapestry Card

    You may be wondering what happened to that little sewing machine I posted about a couple weeks ago. I did get it and I have opened the box and actually practiced sewing on paper a bit, but I am still trying to figure out how to make a card with it and have it actually…

  • Aloha Layout

    I realized that I haven’t posted a layout in a few days, so here is an old one that I just love. My son is so young here and he looks so cute in his little Hawaiian shirt. I have no idea what brand the papers and embellishments are, but they seemed to fit the…
