One of my new favorite stamp sets is Mixed Drinks. It has so many fun elements to design delicious, “Summery” cards. What’s even better is that I can use this set for both feminine and masculine cards! We have a friend that is so generous to our kids. He is constantly showering them with gifts. Recently, he gave them both money … my son for graduating from college, and my… Read More »

Earlier that week, we were walking through the little mall in Mammoth and ran… Read More »

On the surface, it seems so simple … a beautiful sunset, water, and one chair. I decided to try to watercolor it. Here’s the photo I found so you can see my inspiration. I had to change… Read More »
I have a fun card to share today that uses several techniques AND another watercoloring tutorial. I got to play with my new Embossing Paste this weekend, and as expected, I absolutely love it. It’s so much fun to have another cool technique to use in my toolbox of tricks!!! The Embossing Paste comes in white, but you can color it very easily by adding a drop of re-inker. To… Read More »
