Birthday Wishes


I came across a Gina K die recently that probably is a window with four panes. I cut it out of wood-grained patterned paper. I messed up the "good" piece, but saved the inner pieces. I arranged them on this card. I found the flowers and leaves (I THINK from Altenew) in my card parts and added them to the center. The flower is popped up. I matted with brown and stamped the sentiment - from Gina K.

More Coverage of Wyatt's Basketball Shot - Along with a Surprise from Steph Curry



Our grandson with Down Syndrome has gone viral. 😊 He was on our local news, ABC national news, and then local news in San Francisco! I searched online and found several links. You can see the story here. Pretty amazing.

Two More Paint Samples


The backgrounds for these images are paint samples - the last ones I'm going to use. I used the same Altenew image stamp as yesterday. I black heat embossed them and colored them with Copics. The sentiment for both is from Gina K - and cut with a Gina K die.

June Calendar Page


Not sure how it happened, but it's June already!! Here is my calendar page. The stamps are both from Repeat Impressions. I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and cut out the watermelon. I added the watermelon and sentiment to some gingham paper. Enjoy your summer!

Sorry For Your Loss


Finally, I'm using one of my flower images that I created by using markers on rubber stamps, then misting before stamping. I have several more stamped images to use up, but this is a start. The sentiment is from Gina K. I fussy cut it and popped it up.

More Paint Samples


I love the color of this patterned paper, and it matched so nicely with some of our paint samples. I have four more backgrounds ready to finish into cards, but this is what I have for now. This first one features a die-cut paint sample and a Gina K stamp.


The butterfly is another paint sample die-cut. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.


These last two are nearly identical - just different flower dies and slightly different color paint samples. The sentiment is from Gina K. I also added a few sequins.
