The project I have for you today is [...]

Yep, Another One =)

It’s like déjà vu all over again, isn’t it?  I wanted to make a very elegant card for Bill’s parents, who do so much for us, so that it will end up in a box, where his mom puts all the cards I make for them. She loves blue, and although she prefers darker shades, [...]

Elegance for Frances

Singin’ the praises of Amy Sheffer once again, for her beautiful card that I keep going back to when I need an elegant card! If you’d like to read the story behind Frances and how she blessed our Easter and Taylan’s boo-boo, it’s below. We were shocked to find Frances’s card with the gift basket, [...]

Thanks a Million!!

So I’ve had this stamp for quite a while now but wasn’t sure exactly how to use it. Then I looked on Becca’s blog at this card of hers and things just started clicking. Love that! So here’s the recipe for my version of that card:

ClickaBella for Teach

One of my favorite humans on this Earth goes by the nickname Teach. I got to meet her while I was in Maine back in September and talk about instantly wanting to know someone for the rest of your life!! There are just those rare people you encounter about whom you think, “Even if I [...]

Purple Flowery Dragonfly Thanks

This is a card for a certain purple/dragonfly lovin’ Sister of mine who shall remain nameless until she receives this and her package!! My online scrapbooking group is having a Fall Crop, and this is my version of one of the card challenges. I actually got 11 cards made over the past two days, I’m [...]

Thanks to Hubby’s Gramma

This thank-you card has been a long time comin’. OMGoodness, I should have made this and sent it off loooooooooong ago. Several months ago hubby’s gramma sent some books for Taylan and Braeden, and we never formally thanked her. This women is in her 80s and deserves a nice thank you. So, all self-deprecating aside, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
