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!!!

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!

Every so often my Stampin’ Up! grandma organizes an event for her team to join in, back in January she organized a card swap using products from the Occasions catalog.

Each person had to design and make a card for each person ~ there were 15 this time, we send them to her she sorts them and sends them back and we all get 15 different cards in return.  This is one of the lovely things about being part of the SU family!.

Bloomin’ Heart Thinlit ~ from Stampin’ Up!

Leave a comment

Today is Super Bowl Sunday – I have been a fan of American football since 2003 when I went to my first (and only) game at the Texas Stadium.  I support the Dallas Cowboys, partly because they were playing the day I went to a game and partly because they are the ‘local’ team to where we live in North Texas.

When your read this I shall be watching the game and rooting for the  Denver Broncos ~ for no other reason that I like Peyton Manning !

Read on for today’s card………………..
