Happy Valen-Birthday!

With birthdays so close to Valentine's Day, why not add some hearts? Tried to keep this one clean and simple. Hope it's not too bare. Thanks for stopping by.

Snowy Penguins

Well, with all this snow, it seemed fitting to make some snowy greetings. Love that little penguin (from the winter mini catalog), but still sooo cute, right?!

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy President's Day

Another fine day to celebrate! Sunny, snowy, serene. Want a card challenge? Check out this President's Day challenge! Fun!

And look at Mr. Curious. I've got to watch this little guy... he's showing more of an interest in chewing on my supplies... gasp... or... maybe he wants to stamp?

Distressed Flower

Well, I don't think I would have picked these colors on a typical card, which is why I loved this color challenge - really made me stretch. They seemed perfect for a distressed look. Here's my attempt at a vintageeey looking flower. Not sure you can see, but each layer is stamped with En Francais.

Purple Makes Me Happy!

Feeling odd today? Try this challenge (WT257) on SCS! I love using that Le Jardin stamp set - guess I need to break out some of my other sets...

Happy Snow Day!

Snow days can be such a gift! My boys and I got to slide down the hillside under a beautiful sunny blue sky. And, I even had a chance to stamp again! Here's a little Ghirardelli® chocolate box for Valentine's Day gift giving. What a fun and quick treat to make. See the tutorial here.


I think Rex would like one of these boxes... There he is lurking in the background...

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy HOWL-o-ween

Rex our lovable, high-energy puppy dressed up for the Pet Smart Howloween parade and doggie get-together. Yes, he actually kept the costume on (for about 2 seconds). Don't even ask how long it took to take this picture. Does he look like Yoda? And as for the headpiece... well, that was a little impossible. Why do pet parents do these things?
