Ann’s Creative Nook has so many lovely rubber stamped card layouts that I had a hard time picking just one to spotlight. This Thankful Thoughts card seems like the perfect one to show you since tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I didn’t realize Stampin Up! had so many new designs. Of course, I may not have realized […]

I love the texture in this page. It is a blend of crayon, acrylic and melted wax, along with a heart imprint. The image is from Altered Abbey’s lovely collection of vintage image pages. I have hundreds of vintage postcards and photos […]

This was a quick card we put together this morning using the Sizzix turkey die. It is perfect for a group of children, since you can make a ton of turkeys very cheaply. First, we cut out a stack of turkeys in different colors and one plain white turkey. Then, we cut the feathers off […]

I went to work on the backgrounds I made last week and have twenty new pieces for the Stamping Out Alzheimer’s Cherished Memories swap done and about the same number half done. I’m hoping I don’t need to use them all, but I wanted to be sure I had a back up set for any […]

Of course, the Fleur des Lis stamp is the one I use the most, but the other thing I use constantly is watercolor paper. […]

I took a bit of time away from the Alzheimer’s swap to put together these two inch square collage pieces. Why this size? I found some awesome coasters with a two inch by two inch display space and I decided to make some Art Meets Function collage coasters for my Etsy shop. I had so […]

Here’s another of the “Sisters” fat book pages. This is a PSX stamp. I’m very fond of it and use it at least once a year on my sister’s birthday.
The saying is printed on tissue paper. I love this technique. If I use enough gel medium, the tissue paper kind of dissolves into the […]

The first set of pages I am working on has a “sisters” theme and is dedicated to all my special memories of my sister. None of them is alike because making the same page over again just doesn’t excite me.
If you want to join the swap at the last minute, I do have a few […]
