Today Jennifer McGuire inspired me in the Online Card Classes Merry Making course. She showed us how to score a heavy weight paper (110# is best) and then stamp on top. It leaves a beautiful white line through the image. Here’s my take: See those scored lines? I think this looks even more beautiful in […]

Merry Making Class Day 1
I’m happy to be joining in on the Online Card Classes Merry Making course this month! Today, I was inspired by Kristina Werner. She taught us a bokeh technique using Distress Oxide inks and water. Simple, but so beautiful! Here’s my take on the project: I just love that little Arctic Fox looking up at […]

There’s Snow one Cooler Than You!
My last entry for MFT Card Design Challenge is for the Innovation Master. Here I made a slider card using a magnet at the end. This way, this “PRO” snowboarder tumbles down the mountain and lands on his head every time! LOL. And here’s this snowboarder in action: Oh boy…this reminds me of: ME on […]
Can’t Bear to be Without You
Hello! Today I’m trying my hand at another MFT Superstar Challenge! This time the coloring Virtuoso category. When I originally got these Polar Pals, I thought they could easily become a grizzly bear. I’m always needing bears for cards for my Dad (bears are his favorite)….so this one is for him. I started out stamping […]
The Seagull Strikes Again
Hi! I’m sharing another reason I had to have the Seaside Seagulls from MFT. This is a card I made for my husband. I was feeling a little snarky, and well….nearly EVERY time we go to the beach, a seagull targets my husband. It’s actually become a little joke now. So I gave this card to […]
You Are Mermazing

You Lift Me Up
Everytime I see this stamp set I start singing “You Lift Me Up, to walk on stormy seas…You lift me up, to more than I can be.” Do you know that song? It’s beautiful. Although, I could have the words all wrong! So of course, I love this set by Reverse Confetti. My granddaughter loves […]
