Hello creative friends! Hooray for Monday! I know, you don’t often hear people celebrate Mondays, but I happen to love them. It means my kids are off to school and my husband is off to work, so I get the house back to myself (and back in order, which takes half the day!). I’m SO…

Why does it seem so difficult to create cards for the guys? I hear it often. Guessing it’s because we use so many floral stamps. Florals are one my favorites!! Although, I think selecting the right colors help make a card masculine instead of feminine. I tend to reach for blues and greens for the…

Who doesn’t want a card telling them they are Amazing?!? I love cards just because to brighten someone’s day up. I love the look of stamping on cardstock with a darker color so I thought it would be neat to gather all of my flower stamps up. I started with a piece of 6X6 cardstock….
