July 14th ~ almost half-way thru the month….. already!!!!!!!!!!! Truthfully I really don’t know where the time goes – it is oh so very hot here in North Texas at the moment, day after day of over 100 F degree days, although it is good for ripening the fruit in the garden (see below)
Today’s card has nice cool colors and is one for the fellas in our lives.

We are well into spring now so I have chosen to use Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz for my card colors today. The Around the Bend Stamp Set and coordinating Die set have flowers and leaves that look like daisies, which remind me of late spring when the grass is starting to grow along with the little daisies showing the dainty faces to the sun.
Continue readingSt Patrick’s Day is quite a big thing here in the US, so the Lucky Clover Stamp Set is perfect for this, however the 4 leaf clover is supposed to bring luck so this is a great set for sending good luck wishes particularly as we are coming up to exam season, how lovely it would be to receive a card right before you sit those exams!
Having said all this I did choose to use Green and Gold for this quick and easy card
Continue readingEach month I take part in a Scrapbook hop, I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I try to take some elements from my layout to create a card to show how Stampin’ UP! products can be used for both card making and scrapbook pages.
January’s hop had had us using products from the Jan – April 2023 Mini catalog (check it out here) and I chose to use one of the new bundles called Around the Bend. I think this would make an wonderful card for any occasion – ‘Hello There’ is just perfect for this!

The black and white of the Perfectly Penned decorative paper pack is just perfect to go with any color, so I chose to go with the vibrant Poppy Parade with a little Smoky Slate as a background.

I have used the Cottage Rose Stamp set to make this into a ‘Get Well’ card, although I think the layout and colors would work equally as well for a birthday, thank you or a ‘just because’ kind of card.
Continue readingThe Stylish Sketches Stamp Set is another of the free exclusive item currently available during Sale-a-bration. I am continuing to share these products so today’s card uses the cute little duckies that are part of the set. Click here for more info on Sale-a-bration
Continue readingOn Sunday I was part of a scrapbook hop. I know that not everyone is into scrapbooking so I have taken the elements of my page to create today’s card, just to show that Stampin’ UP! products can be used for both cards and pages. Check out my scrapbook page here.
