You Did It!

I had fun making this graduation card with Enjoy the Ride by Papertrey Ink.  I was able to download the logo off the internet for Georgia Tech.  I love being able to personalize the card to make it more special.  I'm sorry you can't see the embossing on the black cardstock.  I used the By The Numbers Impression Plate.  I used Harvest Gold Cardstock & Harvest Gold Twill by Papertrey Ink.

PTI Anniversary Set

I received an order from Papertrey Ink recently & my free Anniversary set was included!  I was pretty excited to get it as I really didn't expect it.  I can't wait to get this set inked up!  And look at the beautiful packaging - they do a great job with presentation!

Background Kissing with Stamps

This video by Julie Ebersole is a quick & cute idea using your solid dots with a patterned stamp.  I haven't done this in a long time so I'm anxious to try it again.

Grad You Rock!

This idea came from Archiver's.  I bought these Stampendous stickers last year & just found them when I was organizing tonight.  I still had a few more graduation cards to make so this was perfect timing!

Colorful Bowls!


I found these pretty bowls at Costco the other day.  I love the colors & also loved the fact that they all have lids.  They are made with the heavy melamine plastic & have a nice rubber bottom on them so that they don't slide around.  I can't wait to mix up a pretty pasta salad or something in one of them!

For the Graduate

I made this quick card using Papertrey Ink's For The Graduate stamp set.  I really like the fact that you can personalize the year on the bottom border.  This particular High School Grad has chosen to attend a great University! 
And it just so happens that I had the perfect stamp for the inside of the card!!

Grillin' Buckeye!

This is my go to guy card for birthdays.  I love Who's That Grillin' Guy by My Favorite Things because I can personalize the apron.  Our brother in law is a Buckeye so I put the Ohio State logo on his grillin' apron!  The Cuttlebug Embossing folder is Spots & Dots

Happy Mother's Day!

I was inspired by this card that Shari sent us for Easter.  I absolutely love the Cherry Blossom Branch that she used.  She bought it at Joann's so I high tailed it to my local Joann's to purchase this stamp!  The technique of running the stamped image thru with the embossing folder is so beautiful.  Thank you Shari for sharing this great idea!  I love this look - so I copied her design & made my Mother's Day cards! 
Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's today!!
