The post today is featuring the Sale-a-Bration item “Tutti Fruitti Card Base & Envelopes”. I’ve teamed them with the Tutti Fruitti… Read More »

For my card I kept it simple: 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of 2017-2019 In-Color card stock, used the… Read More »
Today is my niece Maya’s birthday and I thought I would share the birthday card I made and sent her with you, an eclipse card – where the image is stamped, then a word die cut and when the letters are added back, they are backed with foam adhesive strips for added depth. It’s hard to believe Maya is a teenager now, seems like just yesterday she was a little… Read More »
How’s your week going? I just haven’t felt like myself lately and took a few days off to just relax and get my crafting mojo back in gear.

Happy Thursday, one more day to go until the weekend. For me it’s the last day of work this week, I’m on vacation tomorrow, just like a lot of other people. They showed the morning traffic on the news today and more cars were outbound than inbound to the city, have a feeling quite a few people are starting their weekend early. Last night I was looking through the new… Read More »
