My friends at Spellbinders sent me the February 2019 Small Dies of the Month – Spring Flutter! Here’s how I was inspired: I adore this die! It’s so delicate! I cut it twice and used the smaller separate dies too. I’ve been a bit smitten with the pink and coral color combo lately. The sentiment

When I saw THIS project by Megan on the Lawn Fawn blog I was thoroughly inspired. It actually reminds me how little of the newer Lawn Fawn stamp sets that I have. I do have the Reveal Wheel Lawn Cuts so I decided to challenge myself to design a co-worker’s birthday card. Here’s how I

Masculine cards are tough for me, how about you? I’m either designing cards with cute critters or coffee. So this is as close as it gets: I work in an office with 17 employees. We’ll be celebrating two February birthdays and I’m the official card maker. I went through my stash and thought I might
Happy Monday! I’m beyond grateful that I have self motivated kids. I’ll always call them my kids, even when they’re in their 40’s, for now they are 21 + 23.
