Happy Anniversary
For the past couple years, I have designed and made anniversary cards for the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (aka the IHM's).  Every year they celebrate milestone anniversaries.   As soon as I saw the Delightful Daisy designer series paper I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I cut the flowers out and popped them up. 

Supplies: Peekaboo Peach, Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White Cardstock; Peekaboo Peach, and Wisteria Wonder Classic Ink; Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper; Garden Trelllis Embossing Folder; Milestone Moments stamp set.

Great Friend
I think I have mentioned a time to two (wink, smile) that I love stacked collage cards!   I used the Embossing paste to add some really fun texture.  If you haven't tried it yet come on over and I would be happy to show you how to to use it. There are so many fun things to do with it add some ink refill and have any color you need; use with or without stencils; add glitter.  There are so many possibilities!

Good Friends One of my very dearest friends, Nancy Brown, lives across the state from me.  We've known each other a long time and have been through a lot together.  We don't get to see each other very often but when we do, it's like we haven't been apart.  Nancy also happens to be on my team.  She sent me this card a week or so ago.  I feel very blessed that she is in my life!  She is very talented and I always love it when she gives or sends me a card.  We will be spending next weekend together at a stamping retreat.  I can't wait!

Happy Birthday Thomas
Our September birthdays continue.  Our grandson,Thomas, turns 14 today - I just don't know where the time has gone.  He is, of course, taller than me now.  I thought I would keep his card pretty simple and stick with circles. It is really hard for me to NOT put ribbons and bling on a card.  I embossed different Happy Birthdays on the circles.  It's hard to see it on the Daffodil Delight circle but it's there!   

Supplies: Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, and Daffodil Delight Card Stock; Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper; Versamark Ink; Clear Embossing Powder; 1 1/2" Circle Punch.

Halloween Box!
This image in the Spooky Night dsp is a perfect size for a card or the mini Pizza boxes.  There is also a few images that fit perfectly on it for example the owl or cat stamp from Spooky cat stamp set, also the cat punch.

How perfect this box will be filled with tricks and treats!

Happy Trick or Treats!!!

Rejoice! This card is inspired by one of my team members, Brenda Porath.   It is so simply elegant.  You can really make a beautiful card just adding the Winter Wonder Textures Embossing Folder and a greeting.  What a great layout for your Christmas cards.

Christmas Gift Box
I use a lot of gift boxes and gift card holders at Christmas time.  When I saw these cute little Pizza Boxes I felt as if I discovered gold!  They are perfect for baked items or 3-d items.  The ribbons and accessories in the holiday catalog are great for putting the finishing touches on your gifts. These little boxes, along with all of the designer series papers and embellishments make it so easy to create a beautiful gift.

Supplies: Mini Pizza Boxes; Merry Musical Specialty designer Series paper; Mini Ornaments; 7/8 Striped Ribbon; Green Sprigs
