Happy Halloween card
Can you believe that tomorrow is Halloween? I really can’t. But today I have a quick Halloween card to share. I played with some distress inks for this one to (try) to mimic a sunset… I used Kristina Werner’s adorable cat in a pumpkin and sentiment for this one. Love them! I heat embossed them […]

Verve “Tag You’re It” card
I’m loving Verve Stamps. In fact, I have a couple sets now…and today I am going to use a stamp that I WON from Verve. (Thanks! I love it!) I thought I’d turn it into a tag card and enter into the current Verve Challenge here. The fonts they used on this stamp are just […]

You Make My Life Brighter Card
Today is my Paper Smooches card challenge! This stamp set called “Happy Bugs” is just so fun. I picked the Firefly (lightening bug) for this card and made each one a different color. My husband and I were traveling back East a few years ago, and we saw a bunch of fireflies one night. We […]
What I’m Looking for is a Blessing Not in Disguise
