Splashes of Watercolor

YAY!!!  It’s time to start up the Color Throwdown challenges for the new year.   Are you ready?  LeAnne is starting us off with some great masculine colors.  At least that’s what came to my mind.  When I asked BF George if he thought this was a masculine birthday card, he said “Only if those […]

  I hope you all have started the new year off right by relaxing and enjoying all your blessings!  That’s what I’ve been doing today. This year I’m determined to create enough birthday (and other) cards for a stash so that I’m not always rushing at the last minute to whip one together just in […]

Last month my grandson Hunter needed a birthday card for his younger and only brother Will. This is the card I made for him. The sentiment inside says “Your FAVORITE brother!” They both loved it!

Now get your mind out of the gutter! That’s not what I meant!!! I meant that this will be just a quick little blog post to share this card I made for a girlfriend’s birthday. Isn’t this little cookie guy (’cause I don’t really know what he is) just the cutest?? I love his wonky […]
