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.

April 6, 2016April 3, 2016Leave a comment

This card uses the very popular Hearth and Home Thinlits Dies which gives us a cozy view from a window at the hills and lake beyond. It also continues my theme of digging into my stash of Designer series paper, this time the Love Blossoms DSP Paper stack which I used a lot for my valentine projects but works very well for this card.

Late last month I was invited to a shoe box swap – never done one before and was not at all sure what I had committed to…….. but it sounded interesting and as it turned out I had a great time.

Each person who joins the swap designs a card and prepares supplies for everyone ~ 15 in this case! – we then make up the cards and leave with lots of different cards and ideas. It was fun but making 15 cards in about 2 hours was a challenge!
