Because I care

The stamp set Because I Care is retired but I wanted to show you how an embossing folder can add a new dimension to your card making. Stampin' Up has some beautiful embossing folders.

Punch Art

I saw this card on my Demo web site and thought I would give it a try. You use various circle punches, small heart and flower punch. I also used a scallop circle to create the sky background.

I wonder if I should name him, lol!

Hooked on Fishing

This is another scrapbook page we completed in July. For me, documenting moments in my grandchildren's lives is very rewarding. Jayden's first time fishing and he was hooked, just like his Mom.

Mom's Day

I thought I would share a few of our scrapbook pages we completed at our July class. We had a great time as usual!


I did this layout to celebrate Mother's Day with my Mom. We all enjoyed Chinese for lunch. It was a good day for Great-Grandma.

Build a Blossom

I think I have a new favorite stamp set.
It was an easy card to make. You stamp the blossoms on Whisper White card stock, cut them out and put the petals together on a 1 3/8" circle base. I used the Sizzix polka dot embossing folder for the background and Sizzix's Little Leaves embosslit. The colors in the card are Whisper White, Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight.

Hope you like it as much as I do!

Happy Birthday, Kim

Last week was my daughter Kim's birthday. I am always looking for different techniques to use when creating a family member's birthday card. For Kim's this year I used chipboard to create the letter 'K'. I flipped the chipboard letter over and on the opposite side of the DSP I traced the letter, cut it out and then glued the two together using SU's glue stick. To smooth out the edges I used the Stampin' Up's Distressing Essentials tool kit.

Fabulous Florets

One of my favorite stamp sets from the
Summer mini is Fabulous Florets. The
First Addition DSP compliments the Real Red
and Basic Black card stock. I stamped the image on Whisper White card stock and then stamped the florets again and colored them in. For the center of the flowers I like to use Stickles to add a little pizazz.
