Caution: A Little Bragging

Tonight (9/30) Eyestone Elementary held a writing seminar for each class, so Bill took Braeden to his kindergarten seminar, and I took Taylan to her 1st grade seminar. Very interesting stuff and a great reminder of various ways to encourage writing at home (grocery lists, favorite movie lists, Christmas wish list, and my personal favorite: [...]

Wha?? Thank You, Apparently

I am so incredibly disappointed with myself. I can’t for the life of me remember for whom I made this card. I can’t believe that, I seriously can’t. The entire time I make a card for someone, I’m thinking about the person, imagining the person opening the card, wondering what the reaction might be, yet [...]

Happy Birthday, Alicia!

I’m in my online scrapping group’s birthday club, so I made this card for Alicia, whose birthday is in the first week of October!!! The patterned paper is from either the Spring or Summer stack this year, I cut out a candle and present from scraps and popped them for dimension, and of course BillboardaBella [...]

Happy Birthday, Sis!

I made this card for a friend to give to his sister, who is a gardener and lover of all flowers. It’s similar to the thank you card I made, with the same background sky/clouds paper and lots of flowers!!! Such fun!! The sun is heat-embossed and popped, the flowers are Primas, each flower center [...]

Prayer Blanket Thank You Card

Bill’s best friend Richard attends church in Johnstown, CO, and some ladies at his church made a prayer blanket for Bill to wear during his testicular cancer radiation treatments. I made them this card, and we asked Richard to give it to them, they LOVED it, thank goodness!! It’s very simple, but the sewing really [...]

Thank You Card Part 9

Now this card I really, really like! I think I like it more than the one below. It looks elegant in its simplicity, and really could be given to a person of either gender. I sure do love the thanks embossing folder for my AlienBug (Cuttlebug)!!! I am getting alot of use out of that [...]

Thank You Card Part 8

Here’s another in the set of 10 thank you cards I’m making upon request. I like how this one turned out, there’s just something fairly appealing about it. The base is textured cardstock, the papers are standard black cardstock and some Cosmo Cricket and Basic Grey and the purple is from a Stack. The sentiment [...]

A Changito Thank You!

Charith was so kind to send me a stamped image of Changito, so I colored him with Copics, added some appropriate shading and Stickles, and BAM here’s a wonderful thank you card!! I love this card, I think it turned out really great! The base is Tokyo purple textured cardstock, the patterned paper is from Nana’s [...]

A Birthday and Love of Dogs

I was very sweetly asked to create a card for a teenage gal who loves dogs - that’s the information I was given and this is what I made. I sure hope she likes it!! Most of you probably recognize the DCWV Pet Stack papers and embellies, then there are some Spare Parts dog bone brads [...]

Happy Harvest Card

Honestly, I love fall. Now, I realize that by living in Colorado, that means winter is just around the corner. BUT, fall in Colorado is amazing, I love the weather, the leaves turning, the cool evenings, the transitions. So this card…it makes me happy! I love the thought of fallen leaves, the smell and crunch [...]
