As we went to bed last night, this is what we were seeing on our local TV station. We were waiting for the arrival of Tropical Storm Nicholas. As we are waking up this morning, Hurricane Nicholas made landfall as a category 1 at Matagorda Bay, southwest of Houston. We experienced heavy rains and some […]
Peaceful Prints & FMS502
I’m jumping on today to share another quick Christmas card I created this weekend with the Sale-A-Bration Peaceful Prints DSP. I used the FMS502 sketch as a guide for my layout. My card came together quickly (like it usually does when I use a sketch as inspiration). I used a Cherry Cobbler cardbase and dry […]
Never forget

I loved the simplicity of her template and decided to make 10 cards with the Sale-A-Bration Peaceful Prints DSP! What I liked best […]
More angles for all occasions

It’s a gorgeous black & white paper that you can use as it, color it and pair it with the Hand-Penned DSP. I chose to […]
Need an angle for your next card?
I’ve mentioned many times how card sketches and templates make my creative job much easier. Today’s sketch is from Stampin’ Up! and one of the easiest ones that I’ve come across lately. And it has an added bonus – it allows me to use my smaller pieces of Designer Series Papers! WooHoo! I used the […]
Happy National Dog Day!
This is for all my family and friends who have dogs. Celebrate them today and every day since they are a part of our families! And in honor of today, I’m sharing a few “dog” cards I’ve made recently. Enjoy! I really miss this Playful Pets DSP. And I’m really excited to start making Christmas […]
Did you miss the Hope Box?
August’s Paper Pumpkin subscribers received a special “Hope Box” kit designed by Stampin’ Up! Shelli Gardner. It contains everything you need to make beautiful, inspiring cards for people in your life who need an uplifting message. I’m creating a number of cards as I write this blog. Usually, the kits are for subscribers only. But […]
