Here we are just a few short days from Mother’s Day here in the US. I made todays’ card with Mothers Day in mind but it does not actually have any specific mention of Mothers Day – so it would be perfect for a birthday card as well!

Shoe Box Swap ~ my card
Since I hosted a paper share earlier last month it made me think a lot more about using it instead of saving it. I am not at all sure what I am saving it for, but I just see a sheet that I love and just cannot bring myself to cut into that pristine 12 x 12 piece of loveliness – so my resolution from now on is to use it!
Back in February I was invited to a shoe box swap – never done one before and was not at all sure what I had committed to…….. but once I had, I decided the focus of my card was to be Designer Series Paper! I shared a bunch of cards from other ‘stamper’s in earlier posts.

Sassy Seasons…………… Part 2
I promised to share the other 2 seasonal themed cards using the same layout, format and masking technique, which came out of musings during my card class earlier this week.
This time we have Autumn and Winter plus a bonus for a Christmas theme!
Sassy Seasons……………
It is a while since I last posted news on my blog. Those of you who know me or have been following me for a while know that I work for one of the biggest retail tax preparation services in the US – and Jan 1st thru April 18th this year I have been helping the nation prepare and file their 2015 tax returns!!!
While I had time to write posts I did not have time to make anything to share with you on a regular basis – but now I am back with some cards and other paper projects to share……. I hope you enjoy them – feel free to comment.

Happy Leap Year Day…………..
Happy Leap Year Day ~ We don’t get the chance to say that very often! I know a couple of people born on February 29th – it is nice to be able to wish them a happy birthday on the actual day.
I shared a card the other day using the ‘What I Love’ exclusive Sale-a-bration stamp set. That card used lovely subtle shades – the card I have to share to day uses the big bold Melon Mambo and Tuxedo Black!!!

Multi~paneled using Birthday Blooms and Timeless Textures ~ Video
From time to time I am asked to make a card for a particular occasion – I love to do commissions! I ask a few questions about the recipient….. color preferences, ornate, lots of bling, gender etc and then I start to put it all together.
This is a recent commission – I have done this style before and it starts with a piece of cardstock 12 x 12 and thru scoring and folding its finished size in 6 x 6.
I have included the link to the original video at the bottom of the post…. enjoy!
