“Ribbon neck bands fitted closely round the neck high under the chin, hanging from the neck down over the bosom, usually of ruched ribbon.”

Hello Glimmer!

Glimmer paper, floral stamps and dies, water coloring, beautiful ribbon, these are several of my favorite things.  Seeing them all together really does make me happy. I needed a special thank you card and this has more than accomplished that. I hadn’t had the detailed floral thinlits out for a bit, so that was reason enough.  The sweet sugarplum glimmer paper is where it all started though.  It…

Thanks with Helping Me Grow

Thanks with Helping Me Grow

This past weekend I was at a crop. Lots of time without responsibilities. Hanging out with friends. I made cards, and worked on two Project Life albums. (I’ll show you some of that later this week.) But my first task was to use my Helping Me Grow stamp set to create this thank you card. If you placed an order at my Occasions/Sale-A-Bration event in January, you will be seeing this card soon.…

Special Reason

Opening new product is so much fun.  This is a stamp and framelit bundle I bought from the spring Stampin’Up! catalog, and I love it.  I had a tag sitting on my work station trying to inspire me, and I went to this set.  Fresh eyes are hard to come by sometimes.  The tag had some colors that I would not have put together myself, or I thought, because I had made that tag!  Silly me. Either way,…

Thanks For Being You

Thanks For Being You

What a perfect way to say thank you, for just being you.  A great compliment anyone would love to receive, I know I would.  Mixing a project with butterflies and flowers are one of my favorites.  Interesting how even when creating my moods show through. I have dipped into the falling in love designer series paper pack so many times since I got it. It really is a lot of fun.  I had put off using…

Hello Love

If you know me well, you know I absolutely adore tiny things.  This little number took longer to finish because I was having so much fun playing with the tiny elements.  Seriously, they are so adorable! The card base was done in flirty flamingo along with the card front matte, the die cut envelopes and the coordinating ribbon.  The tiny little cards were cut in blushing bride surrounding tiny…

Touches of Texture

Where has the time gone?  Always rushing away, but I managed to sneak a few extra minutes to play with some water coloring.  During the summer I thought nothing of spending a good hour or so creating a project.  Well…maybe that will have to be a weekend thing now that school is back in session and schedules have changed.  It still felt good, even if it was a quick one. I masked my paper around…

You're in My Thoughts

You’re in My Thoughts

This is me getting more comfortable with this sassy paper stack.  I have to admit though, the colors are what make it work.  Aren’t they beautiful together?  I don’t think I would have paired them myself, but I will be now. Sometimes a simple card works for me.  This one just has a few layers focusing on the patterns of the paper and a simple sentiment.  I left a bit of a gap at the top of the…
