Summer just flew by so fast for us! My kids are back in school this week so now I have some time to catch up on some projects that didn’t get done over the summer. Now that I have a little more free time I can get some cards done to add to my collection…
Stripes are my favorite pattern. Well, that and polka dots. Most of my closet is full of striped tops & shoes. They look so good with jeans, don’t they? And jeans are my everyday uniform since I work out of the house nowadays. You know what else stripes look good on? Cards. I have a…
Once my son’s birthday celebrations were complete, we were faced with the daunting task of writing thank you notes. Now, I was raised to write thank you notes for every celebration, and honestly didn’t mind it too much. I think perhaps that is how I developed my love for stationery design. But then I had…
Hello! Back on Independence day, I posted a fireworks card on my blog (linked at the bottom of this post). I really liked the stencil, so I challenged myself to create a brighter colored version using the same type of layout. This is what I came up with. For the fireworks, I masked off an…

Happy Wednesday friends! We are getting down to the nitty-gritty last days of school. It’s always a chaotic and emotional time of year for me. The realization that my boys are getting older hits me like a ton of bricks EVERY year! And trying to stay on top of all the end-of-year activities nearly sends…
Have you ever felt that sympathy card is the hardest type of card to make? It is the toughest type for me. One of my friends’ sister passed away recently, I hope my card could bring him comfort. I thought about using black cardstock initially, but felt that it is too heavy. So I chose…
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…
