Blooming with Kindness card for retirement
A friend recently retired from a lifetime of nursing, you cannot let such an occasion pass by without a card being made and sent!
My December Card Class ladies will recognise this design which we made as a thank you card, however the design works for most any occasion.
Blueberry Pie ~ party favors
I always think blue, silver and white as New Year colors ~ not exclusively though, as I also have a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments in those colors.
I wanted to make some party favours for New Year and decided to use an idea of Connie Stewart’s from Simply Simple Stamping to make them in the shape of a slice of pie,and since I was using different shades of blue I have dubbed it ‘blueberry pie’ Continue reading

Hostess Gifts using Stampin’ Up’s Wood-Mount Cases
This time of year means hostess gifts!! I like to make my own – it adds a personal touch and comes from my heart and I feel, has more meaning to me (and hopefully) the reciepient!
Each contains a covered 2×2 stack of post-it notes, small hand-sanitizer, small gel pen, binder clips and 3 Hung Up Cute Clips.
Inspired by designs from Deb Snyder, I have made a number of these using the half-size wood-mount cases from Stampin’ Up, you get 6 of these for $4.95 (great deal!). Decorated with DSP, ribbon and a little stamping using the Chalk Talk Stamp Set and Framelits.
Merry Christmas & Happy Stamping……
