Stencil Practice

Happy Fourth of July!! I hope you have a great day with friends and family! I'm not sure what our plans are for tonight. Where we used to live, they had a block party and fireworks (I lived above a retail area, with a Minor League Baseball stadium a block away). We could also see…

Mother’s Day Cards

Hello and happy Wednesday! Today I thought I would share the Mother's Day cards I made. Mother's Day is a bit tough for me, as my Mother passed away when I was little. It was over 30 years ago, but new things still occur that make it fresh. Like, being a new card maker, but…

Paper Smooches July Challenge-Anything Goes!

I think my favorite type of challenge is the "Anything Goes!" Thank you Paper Smooches! I'm still limited by my tiny inventory of PS products,  but I think my card making skills are improving, so they look different lol. This month I used my rainbow die, and the cloud dies. I also snuck in one…
