Do It Your Way!

By | October 6, 2016

Just a quick post with a fall offering using a new set from the Holiday catalog, Basket of Wishes. Now, my stamping partner Sherry would certainly watercolor this image in; she is a master at shading detailed images such as this! But since I am pressed for time today, I’ve elected to do it my… Read More »

Another Family Birthday!

By | October 2, 2016

Yesterday my sister-in-law Mindy had a birthday; today our nephew Joe of Colchester, VT is celebrating his. October in Vermont is well-known for Leaf Peeping, so I decided to go with a foliage season theme on his card: You may remember seeing this maple leaf out of Cajun Craze cardstock with the Boho Chic embossed… Read More »

Rabbit Redux

By | October 1, 2016

Ok, just kidding – this has nothing to do with the John Updike novel, I just decided to bring back my “Rabbit, Rabbit” card from last fall because I revamped it to give to my sister-in-law Mindy of Burlington, Vermont for her October 1st birthday today!   Unfortunately, I won’t be able to direct you… Read More »

This is the last of the nine cards that Ann, Susan and I made to swap with each other last month to prepare samples for the Holiday catalog, and it’s one of my favorite! As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of Susan’s favorite materials is designer series paper, and a card can be… Read More »

A Tale of Two Cards

By | September 17, 2016

Every card has a story and these two are no exception: There are distinct similarities between these two cards, although Ann and I didn’t make them together. Her Harvest Moon card was part of the summer swap that we both worked on in August. My Blessed Maple Leaf card was just made today, the result… Read More »

Once is Never Enough, With a Stamp Like You

By | August 25, 2016

If you’re experiencing a little Deja Vu, I can explain: I have a small pile of cardstock pieces on my worktable, pieces that I’ve cut into but they’re still useful for another project, or sometimes they are the start of an idea that I’ve put aside for some reason. I refer to it lovingly as… Read More »

Be Creative – Use What You Have!

By | August 24, 2016

While making some Christmas cards the other day, I suddenly realized that there are another couple of holidays before Christmas that I need to prepare for, but alas! right now I have no Halloween stamps from the current catalogs to work with. The fall Holiday catalog was just delivered to my door a day ago,… Read More »

Happy Thanksgiving!

By | November 26, 2015

It’s a radiantly beautiful day here in Northern California; 46 degrees and a bit cool for us, but if it’s bright and sunny I don’t mind a chilly day. Here are a couple of cards that we received this week from family back east where they invented fall and autumn colors 🙂 Kathy made a… Read More »

Happy Birthday, Papa Bear!

By | September 26, 2015

It’s September 26th and my father-in-law, Harold Degree of Colchester, Vermont, is celebrating his 82nd birthday! Since Harold lives in Northern New England and the temperatures are finally cooling down, the fall colors are starting to appear and I like to make my birthday cards reflect the change of seasons. I told my friends in… Read More »
