Splashes of Watercolor

This week for the Color Throwdown, Danielle chose some yummy colors just perfect for another Christmas card!   Here they are: ~ This presented such a wonderful opportunity to use this adorable Tilda with Wreath from Magnolia-licious.  Well, that coupled with the fact that they’re sponsoring the challenge this week!! ~ ~ I just adore her […]

It’s time for Color Throwdown #67.  Tammy is our hostess-with-the-mostess this week and she’s chosen a wonderful color combination.  I wasn’t sure it would work for Christmas (I am hot and heavy into creating as many Christmas cards as possible before the rush!), but then I pulled out this Snowed In paper kit from My […]

I absolutely could not let today’s Featured Stamper challenge get by without playing along.  One of my all-time favorite stamping idols is being featured…the one and only Her Royal Rubberness, Julie Ebersole.  Woo hoo!  I adore her and her creativity!  Check out her gallery at Splitcoast and play along if you have time! Here’s Julie’s […]

My grandson Will just graduated from preschool. You know, it seems to me that he was just born yesterday! He is his mom’s youngest, so she’s mourning the passing of his “babyhood”.   And she started to talk about having another baby.  I definitely had to talk her out of that one rather quickly!!  But not […]

Good Sunday to everyone! I wanted to play along with today’s featured stamper challenge FS62 because I just love Jodi’s gallery! It was so hard to choose from among all her beautiful creations, but in the end I was drawn to the serene beauty of this card: IC113 Kind Thoughts I love the soft colors, […]

I’ve had a blast coloring these images of Riley enjoying different phases of his summer day.  Earlier he was in his garden watering some new plants, but we’ll save that for another post! I’ve always thought the way Michelle Wooderson and Lisa Zappa create groups of cards, using one image (or a series of similar ones) […]

This is my really late entry for the color challenge CC160 on SCS. The colors are creamy caramel, mellow moss, apricot appeal, and cameo coral. Never would have put them together on my own! This is going to be a short post because I’ve got to get some sleep to be at work very early […]

How cute is this image?? I have a friend who has just signed up to do volunteer work for the Animal Adoption League. Could there be a more perfect image than this to use for a card for her?? I think not!! I love the little elephant and his princess!! This is another of the […]

I always have such good intentions when it comes to participating in the weekly challenges on Splitcoaststampers.  But somehow everything else seems to get in the way and demand that my time be spent elsewhere.  Well, this week I decided to make some time to join in the fun.  This card is for the color challenge […]

These are valentine gifts for the boys.  My grandsons, that is!  It’s really hard to do sweet and pretty for a 7 and 5 year old.  Luckily, they don’t mind as long as there’s some sparkle and some candy with it! I made each of them a “Why I Love You” coaster book (inspired by […]
