When I wanted to make him a card for his birthday, the Guy Greetings was the stamp set I grabbed without thinking about it. It has a car in it.....and tools...PERFECT! I watercolored ...

Masculine Birthday Pear

Lemonade….more from the Fruit Stand Suite
I love this card. I didn't start out as a card. I was testing out the new Fresh Fruit stamp set and this was my scrap piece of paper. I liked it so much, and it reminded me of lemonade that I went and grabbed my Brushwork stamps and added the word Lemonade. Then all I could think about was Beyonce.....figures. ...
Berry Box, case’ing the catalog

Goodbye to Everything Eleanor, Feel Goods and Farmers Market DSP
I might need to purchase a few more packs of Farmer's Market DSP before it sells out. These are just some of my favorite colors and color combinations. A litte trick to this card is that the DSP is only about 3 inches long. You cut about 3/4" off one end, attach it to the edge, and attach the notched end to the ...
So long to Bordering Blooms & a Dozen Thoughts
I love the sweetness to the Bordering Blooms stamp set. I watercolored it with 70% Rubbing Alcohol in my aqua painter.

Go Wild Birthday Card
I see zebra strip and I think bright pink. I'm loving this card more and more every time I look at it. Most times when I design a card I need to make it, set it aside and walk away.
