Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
I needed to make an anniversary card for good friends of mine so I decided to play around with some of the colors that will be discontinued once the new catalog debuts.

I embossed River Rock cardstock with Lacy Brocade and …

Last week was a busy week of making birthday cards – here’s one I made that works great as a masculine card using By the Seashore Stamp and French Foliage Stamp and the VersaMark Resist Technique.

I wanted a ‘springy’ (my own word for spring-like) type of card and so I decided to use the Secret Garden stamp set and use the Secret Garden Framelits to cut them (better than scissors!) Since my mom was spending her birthday in the hospital, I thought she should have some bright colors to cheer her up. I started out with a center step card so I …
Easter is the most meaningful day for me. It’s the day I remember and celebrate the precious gift God gave me. At an early age in 1976, I became a believer and follower of Jesus Christ who died on the cross for me to give me new life that can only be found in Him. Jesus did not only die on the cross but He rose from the dead …

The Patterned Occasions Sale-A-Bration stamp is a great stamp set to own because of the fun images it has. I love the jeans in this set along with the cute elephant in this post.
