Splashes of Watercolor

I made 7 of these Star Photo Ornaments, one for each of our grandkids.  They’re easy really.  And I’ve got step by step instructions for you. First, I have to mention that I was totally inspired by Anabelle O’Malley’s star ornament.  I was quite taken with it and knew as soon as I saw it […]

 ~ This is my last post as an Angels Landing design team member.  I’m very sad to leave this great team of wonderfully talented ladies.  Judi Maddigan is SO VERY gifted as an artist and such a great pleasure to work with.  I’m grateful to her for allowing me to play with her adorable images […]

I just love the color combination of this Stampin’ Up! Urban Oasis designer paper, so I chose to play off of that for an anniversary card for my DD and her husband. I also decided to try the ribbon rose that I had seen and was totally wowed by on Christine’s blog.  She has a […]

My darling granddaughter has finally been born! Molly Corinne weighed in at 6 lbs 4 oz on Thursday, April 23rd, at 3:15 pm.  She’s a little peanut and such a doll! Here she is with big brother Miles: Everyone is fine and happy! ~~~~~~~ This is a card that I made for Miles, her 2-1/2 […]

Any day now, my younger daughter is expecting her first daughter, my first granddaughter!  They’ve chosen a name, but won’t tell me, or anybody for that matter.  How rude!  LOL!

We had a great time at IKEA!  We were mostly looking for furniture for GS Miles.  Here’s a bed we found that he just loved: Here’s Miles and Gretchen trying out some mattresses while his Mom was shopping: And here’s a little something I picked up (the bedding): All in all, we had a pretty […]

As promised in an earlier post, here’s my first card using the new Kim Hughes set Mocha Chica and the fabulous Mocha Chica paper line. Scrumptious! I love the fresh colors! This card is for my daughter’s birthday which is this weekend. I won’t be in town to help her celebrate, so I’ll get this […]

I whipped up a couple of these cards for my 2 older grandsons who have now started back to school. They were really excited on their first day. But now the younger one, who just started kindergarten, is doing everything he can in the mornings to get his mom to let him stay home. He […]

So I gave the blog a new look. What do you think? I wanted to do it earlier in the summer, but wouldn’t you know it, here it is almost August and I’m finally getting around to a summer theme! It’s Wednesday again and that means it’s time for another Color Throwdown challenge! This week […]
