Surprise!
First off, way to go, Sandi for all these blog posts showing off all your hard work! I have quite a few posts I need to make but I thought I’d start with this one because it was my entry … Continue reading
FaLaLaLaLa
I must say it feels like the middle of winter again today as we’re having some miserable weather. It’s crazy that Christmas has come and gone and that our blog has been neglected for so long. I still have a … Continue reading
Let it Snow!
I have wanted to participate in The Spotted Chick’s “That’s Krafty Thursday” challenge again for a while and just couldn’t seem to get my picture done and my blog post made but since I’m about to give this card away … Continue reading
Groovy Birthday
So, this one was from Jim’s Birthday. What’s that? Jim’s birthday was in August? Well, yes, that’s true but let’s just say that I’ve been running a bit late with getting cards posted to our blog. This cute car is … Continue reading
It’s Twins!
So the daughter of a family friend gave birth to twins, a girl named Lily and a boy named Sebastian. They were a bit premature so they had to spend some extra time in the hospital and this card worked … Continue reading
Teacup Girl
So, AmyR over at Prairie Paper and Ink is having a contest giveaway which basically involves making a card that uses one of her stamp or sentiment designs. This card uses phrases from her Birthday Sentiments set. I wish I … Continue reading
Thank You
Lots of impact in a 4X4 card, not to mention it’s a great scrap bin project! So, as you can see this is a little 4X4 kraft cardstock card. The background is simply strips of patterned paper cut to varying … Continue reading
For my Husband
I’m not sure how the time flew by so fast but our 20th (!!) wedding anniversary was on May 26th. Jim often travels for work right around the time of our anniversary so we’ve been all over the place … Continue reading
Fall already?
Well, I can’t believe that neither Sandi nor I have posted since the end of July. I think I have about 4 drafts started with pics of the cards that I’ve made but I just haven’t gotten around to filling … Continue reading
Christmas in July
So Emily over at Stamping Bella (Blogabella) threw out a challenge for Christmas in July and really, who could resist? It seemed a bit funny to be out at the cottage in shorts on a 28C day merrily colouring Christmas … Continue reading
XOXO
I guess it’s hard to disguise being behind on posting my cards when these next two are clearly from Mother’s Day! I always start out strong with getting the pictures taken and uploaded to the computer and then the process … Continue reading
Happy Mother’s Day
This was a card I made for our mom for Mother’s Day. Instead of just wishing her a happy day I thought I’d also take a moment to thank her for all the little things she does for us throughout … Continue reading
A Masculine Thank You
It’s always nice to have a few cards around so that you can write a note of thanks to someone in a timely manner. My husband, Jim, sits on a couple of boards and they frequently have guests come to … Continue reading
Lemonade
I found this little wooden stamp of the lemonade stand in a shop called Paper Tales while on holidays in San Diego, California. By coincidence, Sandi had ordered the sentiment from Stamping Bella and the two of them work perfectly … Continue reading
Oh Baby!
It’s always fun to make a baby card. I got to use my new Provo Crafts Cuttlebug embossing folder “shapes” (From Oh My Crafts) for the blue paper on this one as well as a paper crimper for the matting … Continue reading
