Greetings all! Another Tuesday and another card. One of our church members is celebrating his 82nd birthday soon, and he was a dairy farmer for many years. So I made him a Cutest Cow birthday card. Had such fun doing this one, and I know he will enjoy the card. Of course we have our own cows so it’s appropriate. Stamp set comes with a matching punch which makes it very easy to do the cow focal point.

Sorry to have been absent for so long. Myriad technical difficulties which I believe have now been resolved. Blog has a new look after a major rebuild. Today’s card is one of my most favorite fun folds – Book Fold. I love books, and am always reading which might explain why I like this fold so much.
This card can be made in any color, and for any occasion. Today I am featuring a card that none of us like to make, but are necessary. Circle of life requires Sympathy cards. Some of the things I used on the card are no longer available, but you can use whatever you might have in your stash. Here you go:

Greetings! I have decided all the cards for my August classes will be masculine themed. This first one features the Gone Fishing suite from the current annual catalog. Such a great bundle and the Designer Series Paper is perfect for anyone who loves to fish. I am not one of those, but those who do like to fish say it is very relaxing. I went through my stamp sets and picked out some generic greetings and sentiments that could be used for any occasion. Check out the card.

Good day everyone. Today’s card is a “sea” themed card using the Beauty of the Deep Bundle from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog. I have decided to do a “sea” theme for my July class cards. I have lots of “sea” themed stamp sets, and have never used some of them. They aren’t all current, but I want to use them. Here’s the card for today.

Greetings from the “hill”. I say that because we have a 320 acre farm, and our house sits on top of a hill facing west. Consequently we have fantastic views of the beautiful Colorado mountains. Today is no exception.
Today we are doing a happy birthday showcasing the Timeless Arrangements bundle, 23-25 In Color 6×6 Designer Series Paper, and the 23-25 In Color Dots. Quick and easy and easily adaptable to any occasion and any designer series paper.

Good morning to everyone. Today’s Tuesday card features the Marigold Moments bundle from the 2023 January to April Stampin Up Mini Catalog. I kind of overlooked this stamp set in the catalog, and then I saw a video by Amy Koender, and really liked everything about the stamp set and the card. In fact I liked Amy’s work so much this card is an exact case. I didn’t change a thing. Thank you Amy!
The card is very versatile, and could be used for so many occasions using any greeting that applies. I will be making some Mother’s Day and Sympathy cards with this layout. Hope you feel the same way about the card.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you all. My husband and I don’t do the Valentine thing. We’ve been married almost 60 years, and there’s no doubt our marriage is full of love. Floral industry and greeting card makers love this day. I made a few cards myself, and did Valentine treat boxes for my Sunday School kids
Have a blessed day!
As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will God rejoice over you. Isaiah 62:5
Well better late than never. I had this blog post ready to go couple weeks ago, but have been fighting the electronic monsters ever since. Problem finally resolved, and here’s my blog post. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
Hello everyone! Gosh it has been almost two months since I last posted to my blog. The days and months go by so fast. I have been so busy taking my husband to back treatment appointments along with this being the busy time for my church. Lots and lots of things going on, but hopefully I can get back to some kind of schedule with videos and blog posts.
Today’s Terrific Tuesday card features an early release of a bundle that will be in the 2023 January-July Mini Catalog. Set is called Framed Florets, and it is a great bundle. The Framed Florets Dies feature some ovals that I absolutely love. I am featuring one of the ovals on the card for today.
