I enjoy creating and receiving non-traditional birthday cards – so several years ago, when I first saw CTMH’s D1036 Heritage stamp set, it was the sentiment “love deep, live long” that turned this into a “must have” for me. What a beautiful thought to express to a loved one! This week at Pile It On, Challenge 14 […]
PDCC24 & Smart Word Fresh Challenge: Get Well Card
This week, with so many friends feeling under the weather, I thought I’d send some cyber-cheer via this Get Well Card! Prayers and hugs are going out to Kindred Spirit Christina who is home after her recent hospitalization – to Carla – and to all who are in need of some extra TLC! To create […]

The air is filled with excitement at Create With Joy. Spring has arrived, Easter is coming, and The Good Eggs Giveaway – a blog hop created by my friend Sandi from A Legacy Of Stitches – is about to begin! I’ll post more about the blog hop in a bit. In the meantime, I wanted to […]
Celebrating Friendships: Silver & Gold
What comes to mind when you hear the phrase Silver and Gold? For me, a rhyme I learned long ago has been running through my mind ever since I heard that Our Daily Bread’s 2nd Anniversary Day 3 Challenge was Silver and Gold: Make new friends but keep the old.One is silver and the other is gold. […]
Be Blessed
This weekend, Our Daily Bread is celebrating their second anniversary. I designed today’s card, Be Blessed, with this event in mind! The smART-Word Challenge for March is Monochromatic so I chose Blues to reflect my favorite color. I included several Cotton elements, such as handmade paper and fibers, to comply with Our Daily Bread’s 2nd […]
SSDS Blog Hop Sketch Challenge: Celebrate
This weekend, Stamp Scrap & Doodle Saturdays has been hosting their very first blog hop. It’s been so much fun visiting the Design Team’s blogs in my spare moments! As part of the festivities, they kicked off Feb 12th with a versatile sketch challenge that has been floating around my head all weekend. Finally, I spent […]
Happy Valentine’s Day & OWOH Updates
Happy Valentine’s Day! In my world, today is a Super-Sunday of Sorts! Not only is it Valentine’s Day, but it is the first day of the Chinese New Year (it’s the Year of the Tiger!), the last day to register for my One World One Heart Giveaway, and my anniversary! How is that for some […]
Multi-Challenge Christmas Card: Decorated Tree!
It’s hard to believe that three days before Valentine’s Day, I am sitting at home making Christmas cards – but who could resist Susie & Vickie’s Christmas Club Challenge #3, which called for cardmakers to feature Christmas Trees this week? And, as Samantha from ABC Christmas Challenge asks, “What’s a tree without Decorations (and a little Ribbon) too?” So, in my […]
Bah Humbug #5: Holly
This week’s challenge at Bah Humbug is Holly. For some reason, this was my hardest card to create yet. I’m not sure if I was because I wasn’t feeling particularly Christmasy this week, or because holly elements seemed hard to come by, but I really scrounged through my stash to find elements for this week’s card! Once I found […]
Sir Stampalot’s Moving Challenge
I designed today’s card to celebrate Sir Stampalot’s move to their spacious new shop in Peterborough, UK! We’ve Moved combines older stash (a My Mind’s Eye Frame Up, a Paper Bliss House, black and white cardstock) with new toys (CTMH’s Around The Block Stamps, CTMH Black Archival and Dye Inks, and Skittles) for a dash of old school charm. If you’d […]
Little Black Heart Multi-Challenge Card
Please don’t think I’m dark and twisty (yes, I’m a huge Grey’s Anatomy fan!) but recently, I’ve been preoccupied with little black hearts. You see, while organizing my chipboard, I came across the cutest little hearts from Magistical Memories and thought it would be cool to create some non-traditional Valentine’s with them. So, I broke into […]
