I have a couple of ladies that come every Wednesday morning for Coffee & Crafts. With life as it is, I'm usually spend Tuesday nights trying to find a card for them.

Washi Tape Background
How fun it this card? It screams summer. I was insprired by a card by Amy O'Neill. I just love the use of Washi Tape as a background element.

Good bye to good ole Countryside….
I have alway's loved fat fender trucks. From the seeing them on The Walton's and Sanford and Son TV shows to getting a peak of an old broken down one's hidden in the back of someones yard when driving around in the country. This set was a a must for me when it came out, and I will miss it so. I have found it to be ...
Swallowtail Thanks
Happy Friday!!! I think this Swallowtail stamp was immediately my favorite when the spring catalog came out. I love the big bold images, but it did intimidate me a little after I got it. I have a very large pile of stamped images that didn't make the cut!! For this card I heat embossed the swallowtail ...

I've lived all my ...

Plays well with others!
When Stampin' Up! introduced the new in-colors for 2013-2014, I loved all of them except Summer Starfruit. I just didn't get this color.

Happy New Year!!
Happy 2013!! I have an old window that was turned in to a mirror over my kitchen table. I planned to decorate it every month with a different theme when I purchased it 8 or 9 years ago. I only ended up having a few months worth of decorations, and some of the months (October) end up staying displayed for several ...
