Continue readingA few months ago, one of the ladies who comes to my in-person classes asked about making cards using Quilt Blocks – I am always up for a challenge and love it when someone requests a technique or a fun fold. I made and shared the Log Cabin block in my You Tube live and had such fun I made two more a while later on another You Tube live. Check out the Pinwheel and Shoefly blocks below.

Continue readingIt should not come as any surprise to you, as I have shared many times, that I am not good with masculine themed cards, flowers and shiny stuff really does not work for them and that is where my strength lies! So when I saw the On the Ocean Stamp Set in the 2023 Annual Catalog I knew I was onto a winner!

My card features one of the new stamp sets that will be in the Holiday 2023 Sept – December Mini catalog which will be released on Sept 6th. As you know being a demonstrator gives me the chance to get my hands on ‘new stuff’ before the official release.
