FROM FLOWERS TO STARS
Good Monday to you, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It sure was hot here – no complaints though, I love summer! On Friday I posted a frilly flower-y card and today we’ll start the week with a more masculine themed card. I created this one using the You’re So Sweet stamp set with […]

ISLAND INDIGO AND CHOCOLATE CHIP – YOU’VE GOT THIS!
You’ve got this with the great combination of Island Indigo and Chocolate chip colours from Stampin’ Up! Throw in a bit of Smoky Slate, some Bohemian Designer Series Paper and this card makes the grade! Don’t you agree? I think adding those tiny and cute butterflies as an accent finished it off beautifully. This combination […]
THE STAMPIN’ UP! AQUA PAINTER AND ME
This card just had to be a watercolour and the Stampin’ Up! Aqua Painter is a great tool to help me be the painter I need to be. There’s a short story behind this card – my friend Jan sometimes posts cards she likes on Facebook. So, I save them and show her how to […]
