Life's Anchor!

Sailing Home is truly a beautiful set!

In trying to use non-traditional colors for a design, I still ended up with a blue....lol....but hopefully you see how you don't have to use traditional blues to make this set work for you!

Pull out some of your favorite stamp sets and see if you like how elements from different sets will work together for your future designs. :-)

This card used Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede....It's hard to see the brush of Whisper White across the birch background. I did that before stamping the Birch background in Crumb Cake.

This can be a wonderful encouragement card for someone in your life....especially during these crazy times! Praying for some normalcy back to our lives soon with LOTS of lessons learned, more focus on the family times and a much greater appreciation for our blessings in this life!

Time is crazy......

Wow! It’s been almost a year since I posted last and boy has it been a year for us all! I hope this finds everyone healthy and safe and working towards experiencing a normal life again as we hopefully leave Covid in our rear view mirrors! It’s been a challenging year for most and I’m glad it’s starting to look brighter! Thank goodness for card making to pass the time and brighten our days.....and hopefully those we’ve been able to send cards to along the way to brighten there’s.

Well, we have a new catalog to go crazy over!!! It’s beautifully laid out with more and more goodies I won’t be able to resist!! How about you?! Just click on the link to the right if you haven’t taken a look yet. You’ll be in ❤️!

Father’s Day is next month....and maybe you have a male Birthday to celebrate? I have both, so this is the card I designed with my hubby in mind. Hope it inspires you to get your cards made before you run out of time! 😊

Have a beautiful week! I’ll try to check back in soon. In the meantime.........

2020 Excitement!

2020........

what a year so far!

In all the chaos, pandemic, riots and fears so far, it reminds us that we are not in control. Right?

Let's choose to take each day at a time, find the positives in each day, focus on the people and things that matter in our lives, treat everyone with respect and compassion....and just love!

I have to trust that God's got this.....and if we continue to hold our nation up in prayer, those prayers will cover and heal our nation! I know many of you are doing this already!

One of the positives right now is the new catalog! :-)

I have poured through it, marked it up for my wish list (far too long) and have a few items to play with.

I think one of my favorite sets is the Celebrate Sunflowers!

Reminds me of warmth, summer and all the gorgeous colors.

The background on this card was created by rubbing the ink pad across the embossing folder, laying the paper on top and then running it through the Big Shot. Neat effect! Have fun playing with this method.

Stampin' Blends were used in the coloring of the sunflower:

Light and Dark Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake.
