I joined the Coloring Club when Mindy was offering a deal that included access to all of her previous Copic coloring classes. I LOVE her classes and splurged.… Read More »

This month’s Star Stampz challenge is a Welcome Baby/New Parents themed challenge. I used the Panda Balloon digi from Star Stampz to create my card today.

I feel like my cards are more interesting if they have some kind of texture on them. There are lots of techniques for adding that texture, but the easiest way to do it is to do some tone-on-tone heat embossing! I used this month’s Hedgehog Hollow kit with the Halloween stamps to create a fun card. I… Read More »
I finally took a road trip this summer! I traveled to Ohio to visit my son. I had not seen his new hometown since he moved there a few months before the pandemic. Then I drove on to Ann Arbor to see my daughter, her fiance, and their new house. Again…they bought this back and 2020 and I… Read More »
I think the Grateful for You sentiment is such a lovely sentiment to add to a card. Who wouldn’t love to receive that sentiment on a card? I pulled out one of my favorite digital stamps from Kinda Cute by Patricia and colored it in with my Copics. I cut it out on my Brother Scan n’… Read More »

Later today, I plan to get myself lost in a good book! You know how it is. When you have spent what feels like 6 weeks doing things to meet deadlines or to please other people. You just need some down time to relax and refresh. That’s why I’m going to go out and read by the pool… Read More »
