Hi all! It’s time for another Simon Says Stamp release, and this one’s so fabulous! I’ve had so much fun playing with some of the items from the release. If you happened to watch Heidi’s live yesterday, you know all the beautiful things you can create with these products. One of my favorite products from this release is Fiesta Circles. It’s a fantastic nesting die set with so much detail! See? Isn’t it fabulous? It’s a perfect set to use with rainbow colors, The Simon

Hi all! I'm back with another fun creation using more from the Lisa Horton Summertime Collection with Spellbinders! I love all things floral and plant related, and although I'm a fantastic floral designer, I can't keep a plant alive to save my life...to say I have a black thumb is an UNDERSTATEMENT! At least with this new collection, I can make paper flowers and plants that will last a lifetime! I really enjoy using complementary colors when making cards. The juxtaposition

Hi all! I've started getting back into the studio this last week, using crafting as sadness therapy. I even spent the weekend at Simon Says Stamps CREATE with so many wonderful people in Columbus, Ohio, which was nourishment for my little soul! It was a bit overwhelming to be back in the world instead of the homebody I've been for the last month. However, being around like-minded people has brought me so much joy, and I'm feeling empowered to get into the studio to be crea

Hi all, It's been another sad month here. My father passed away at the end of March after a long battle with Alzheimer's. Mom & I were with him 24-7 for the last week, holding hands and listening to music. He had a peaceful transition into God's hands for which we are grateful. We celebrate his life that he is no longer in pain or suffering any mental confusion. On a brighter note, I have a card here for the AAA Cards challenge for the next 2 weeks! This time around it

Hi all! It's been a while since I've posted here. I have a new thing in the works, and today is when I find out if we will be moving forward with it. It's taken a TON of time these last few weeks, and card-making has been on the back burner. If it moves forward, you'll will be the first to know! In the meantime, I have created a card this week for Altenew's Ambassador Program! I'm so honored to be a part of this program, I just LOVE their products! The florals are my favo

Hi all! I’m excited to be a part of the ALTENEW Ambasador Program again this month! I have been busy creating with products from the January release, along with some oldie, but goodie products to coordinate with them. So let’s get into it! It is hard, every month when a new release rolls out. I want SO many things, but budget restraints keep me from doing so. HOWEVER, with Altenew’s Mini Delight Subscription program , you can get a stamp & die set for only $10.99! You

HI all! It's another exciting day, as it's the Heart to Heart release day with Simon Says Stamp ! I'm always eager to see all the fun things they come up with for their releases. So many fun things and always on trend! Today, I'd like to share with you a few items I made with the NEW Rounded Hearts dies and the Label Slides Love & Friendship stamp set. When I first saw the Rounded Heart dies, a layered window card was the first idea that came to mind. Using 4 different

This is a super quick post today… I have Covid! Can you believe it? Covid for Christmas… Not the present I was hoping for this Christmas. Hopefully I will be well for our New Year’s plans!
