I needed a cute and colorful birthday card for a special little guy who’s at the age when anything that moves or makes funny noises makes him laugh for days, so I pulled out my favorite birthday characters set from Paper Smooches and made him a pull-up card. The groundhog and worm are from the […]

Silhouette Stamping Kit Card
When I heard that Silhouette was coming out with a Stamping Kit, I was beyond excited…but, naturally, still a little skeptical. I mean, how could I possibly get use out of a stamp that wasn’t “deeply-etched red rubber” or the “highest quality photopolymer”? I got a pretty good deal on my kit from an online […]
House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge – Autumn Leaves!
I was invited to be a Guest Designer for the House Mouse and Friends Challenge Blog (interested parties click here!) this month and next…and I am so excited to share my creations with you! The theme for this Monday’s Challenge is Autumn Leaves and I already had two wonderful House Mouse stamps in my collection to […]
Chalkboard Birthday Card
I needed to make a quick birthday card today and it was just sheer luck that my Simon Says Stamp September card kit came in the mail this afternoon. I’ve never used a kit on the same day it arrived before…I guess it was great timing and one of the patterned papers from the kit […]
House-Mouse and Prismacolor Pencils

It reminded me of an old country general store, so I embellished with my version of country chic…including wood-grain and floral patterned papers from Echo Park, a paper doily, and some twine […]
Elegant Honeycomb Card
I had been eyeing up hexagon and honeycomb stamp sets for a long time, but was having a hard time finding the right one for my style. A lot of the sets out there are kinda cutesy, and while I do like that style some of the time, they weren’t appealing to me in this […]
Frosted Moroccan Window Card
I was very excited to get my August Card Kit in the mail from Simon Says Stamp because I haven’t used a lot of stencils in my card-making. I couldn’t get Morocco out of my head for obvious reasons, so I decided to take that inspiration and make a tropical-themed card with a Moroccan-style window: […]
Circle Sketch Challenges
I’m playing catch up after a nice long vacation, but here is a birthday card I made inspired by two different sketches…one at the Silhouette Blog and one at Online Card Classes: I designed my own circle border similar to the one featured on the Silhouette blog last Thursday (here), but instead of filling the […]
