You've Got To See This at Scrappin' Becky B's!

Scrappin' Becky B, one of the ladies who does work that I LOVE, posted a project that I just HAVE to share...you really need to see her wonderful tutorial on these Stamped Tile Coasters.  While you're there...spend a few minutes looking at her other work, and you can decide what you're cooking for dinner while you're there (she shares recipes, too)!

You can get to Becky's page HERE.

Hope you enjoy her tutorial as much as I did!  If you do, please leave her a comment!  Then, I'd love to hear from you to know if you enjoyed the link!  Thanks for stopping by!

A quick card using stickers!

This card was very easy thanks to the beautiful Close To My Heart Paper.  I only used one sheet the full size of the card, placed a matching sticker across making it look like two different papers, then added the flower sticker and tag.  Done in a couple of minutes!  The paper is retired stock I'm trying to use up. But, so many papers can be used this way.  Love the matching stickers (My Stickease) from Close To My Heart.
Thanks for looking!

So many cards, so few postings...and a prayer request.

Hi!  I've been a very poor blogger -- but, I have been making cards like crazy.  That's the good news.  The reason for so many cards is, well, not so good.  My friend was brutally attacked on her way to work on Dec. 27th.  She is at home dealing with the physical and emotional healing that needs to take place.  I could have posted the pictures without any story behind them, but I thought I'd ask you a favor while you're here.  Would you please keep Lisa in your thoughts and prayers?  She's an extremely strong woman, obvious by the fact that she survived!  Extra prayers will only help her on her long road to recovery.

This card is going out today.  I'll post some others over the next week.  My photography isn't getting better, my excuse this time is that I almost forgot to photgraph her cards before mailing them out!

All products are "vintage" Close To My Heart, with the exception of the dragonfly charm.

It's been a very busy week...

My craft room is clean!  And this is why:

I spent the last full week in the kitchen, and the first-ever family Christmas brunch turned out great!  Now, back to the craft room...and hopefully, more faithful blog posts in the coming year! Were you playing with paper, or flour this past week? 
I would love to hear what you've been up to...and as always, thanks for stopping by!

Birthday near the holidays? What does that card look like?

A birthday near the holidays means the card looks NOTHING like Christmas!  Well, at least in my world.  I always feel badly for the person who has a birthday near Christmas.  I make every effort to stay away from anything resembling Christmas colors!  So, this was the card for someone in my office that just celebrated her birthday.

I used the Magnifique paper and added some "feather-like" stamping on the large piece with the Lagoon color from the coordinating paper under the sentiment. Another quick and easy card, and she loved it!  So gratifying to see someone enjoy a card you made with them in mind.

Ok, that's the little break from Christmas cards...now, back to the red and green of the season!

As always, thanks for stopping by.
