Penny is recovering but still has a bit to go. I am putting together a care package for her by mid next week. This means cards and gift cards for dinner. They usually go out so I thought gift cards for places that deliver or have curbside service would be good for hubby to pickContinue reading “Cards and a wash.”

Today’s card has a certain tang to it, much like when you bite in to a good slice of cheese. Here’s how this one was created. The card base is from Soft Suede Card Stock cut at 5 1/2 ” on the 11 ” side. It is scored at 4 1/4″. The Very Vanilla matContinue reading “When wood becomes swiss cheese.”
Mondays are a great start to the week!
I’ve heard many complain about Mondays being the start of the work week, the hangover from the weekend, or just simply muddling through. I am choosing for today to be great!

When the ocean comes to the desert.
We can all hope that the beach is closer to us here in the desert, but it’s probably not going to happen. I would love the sound of the waves, but not the crowds or price tag that comes with the beach.

Then stick small sequins to the end of it. Now you have a cluster of sequins instead of placing them one atContinue reading “Glue dots can be used to group items.”
It’s the simple things.
Sometimes a paper is so detailed that there is not much that needs to be done. Take the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper on page 189. It makes card making so easy.

Sometimes giving back is close to home.
When I post about giving back on a Friday it’s usually about an organization or someone far away that needs help. This time it’s right here. Right in our own crafty family. One of the girls this week has been through a very painful sinus surgery. She is recovering slowly but can use a littleContinue reading “Sometimes giving back is close to home.”
