Our church had a Ladies Spring Tea a couple of weeks ago and they asked me to make the invitations. I agreed before they told me that they needed 140 of them! Oh My! I had lots of great ideas but needed to simplify it A LOT in order to make so many. I used…
My sweet friend Allyson sent me the most generous package this week. Just look at this card. I wonder if she knows that I love yellow because it makes me happy! Look at the beautiful embossing she did! Plus, not only did she make me this one card… she sent me a package of a…
Sadly I had to make another sympathy card. This one is for my mother-in-law because my father-in-law passed away last weekend. It was very sad because my MIL was not even home at the time. She was in Minnesota with my nieces when it happened. But now everyone is back in Wisconsin celebrating his life….
This week’s Heart 2 Heart Challenge is to make a project using hearts. How appropriate for Valentine’s Day. Don’t you think? I decided to decorate some fun heart tins with the Sophia Paper Packet.

I know you are probably tired of seeing me post cards using the Treasure Life stamp set, but I simply cannot stop. I just love this set! We are heading out to some friend’s house in a little while and I really wanted to bring them something to thank them for inviting our family over…
I thought it would be fun to participate in Papertrey’s December Blog Hop. The challenge this month was to create a paper crafting project using scraps of wrapping paper, parts of holiday cards, recycled gift tags or bits of ribbon. We received a standard “Hallmark” type card (although I am not sure if it truly…
We got some new bedding a few weeks ago and every time I looked at it, I thought, “That pattern and those colors would make a pretty card.” So, I looked through my stash to see what I had and ended up making this card. I trimmed some PTI Spring Moss, and CTMH Cocoa and…
