2026: Guest Designer for Creative Worship Stamps

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm thrilled to announce that I was asked to be the Creative Worship Stamps Guest Designer for the month of June!!! 

 

I have seen the DT members' creations on FB/IG, and when I got the email asking if I would be a GDT, I was beside myself! What a blessing! 

Here's what I created this month *MORE details will be shared on my IG page throughout the month; all CWS supplies will be listed below: 

 

I copied a technique that I shared waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 2014 for the Imagine Crafts YouTube channel! I mixed gel and ink to create a textured paste. Super fun! Check out the video HERE! **Don't mind the bad recording- this was done waaaaaaaaaaay before iPhones and technology that is available today:) 

As you can see, I did a lot of fussy cutting and modern, bright design! I really had fun trying new designs, pushing my creativity! 

  

That's it for me today. THANKS so much to Creative Worship Stamps for this wonderful opportunity to share my creations!!! I can't wait to make MORE and to see what NEW releases you have in the future!!

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come 💌

Be blessed ❤️

2022: 21 years [card #94]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I shared earlier this week a fun celebration card for Trav and my 17th year of knowing each other. Today I’m sharing ANOTHER celebration card for Trav— he’s been working for Walgreens for 21 years!!! WOW! 

He loved Granny’s card with the stripe design; he wouldn’t stop talking about it. He thought it was so cool that it was little strips of paper and said it must have been hard to make (not really! LOL!). I decided to use a few strips on the bottom of his card to make it similar to Granny’s. Add a number shaker— my new favorite thing to make, and it’s done! EASY!

That's it for me today. I am almost cost up on posting my cards but have so much more to create that I will probably never be caught up! LOL

THANKS so much for stopping by!

Card #94

Alcohol Ink + Under the Sea Baby card

Hello, sweet friends! 

I have absolutely missed being in the studio and creating!!! It has been SUPER crazy here the last two months! I barely had time for anything. Here's what I've been up to: 

• I had to change my schedule to study for my AEA exam (MORE details on that later)
• I started teaching aqua fitness classes at our community (6 group classes a week and 2 private classes)
• I am still in a boot so that is interesting figuring out aqua fitness instruction on the deck and trying to rest it
• I also was asked to create some special cards for TT's birthday promotion a week ago (click HERE for details).... and basically that has been L.I.F.E. 

All of that to say--- it's goooooooood to be back in the studio! And the *best* news will be shared soon! 

Anyhoo... back to my creation for the day🙃 I was asked by a sweet friend to create a baby card with an underwater theme, using teal, blue, green, purple/lilac colors. I was given a month to create it, and it took 29 days! LOL! 

I absolutely loooooooove how this card turned out. It started with some Etc. Papers Synthetic EVO Papers and alcohol inks. Now, if you know me... then you know I love bold colors and lots of inks when working with this technique! However, I went light with the ink; I even "watered it down" using alcohol. I thought it would be prettier if I created a soft look for a baby card. 

Next I cut the background up and created a second paper using bolder/additional alcohol colors for the critters. I stamped the images using ICT Stazon Jet Black ink and the My Sweet Petunia Misti. I couldn't have done it without this little gadget! 

I fussy cutting each Paper Smooches sea themed image (all sets retired 😞) and die cutting the baby sentiment by The Stamp Market. 

Finishing was easy- adhere and layer every fussy cut and die cut image... and DONE! I love how this turned out! 

That's it for me today. I have at least 15 different backgrounds using alcohol inks just waiting for me to create with them! So there will be MORE to share soon! I also have about 50 birthday cards to complete as well. LOL! Now that I have the time, I will post more:) 

THANKS so much for stopping by!    

Be blessed ❤️

NEW Paper Smooches challenge- November 2015

Hello, friends:}

Today we start the NEW Paper Smooches monthly challenge. The challenge for November is...... GOLD! 

Picture: Credit

I've got at least 10 different designs that I will be sharing throughout the month of November (that's if I have enough energy after our trip to Paris this week to create them all! LOL!). 

The challenge is to incorporate GOLD somewhere on your project (glitter, embossing, gold paper, jewelry, etc).  

For this card, I created an inlaid die cut sentiment (Paper Smooches Quote Tags and Kudos Words die sets) using textured gold paper. I used my ICT Radiant Neon and Memento inks to watercolor a Blossoming Buds image on vellum paper. This was actually a simple card to create and yet it has to much detail--- LOVE! 

That's it for me today! I hope you will join in the fun--- you could win a $50 gift certificate to the PS store!!! Be sure to stop by HERE to link up and to play along!

Paper Smooches SPARKS October Designer Drafts challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start our last weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week we are sharing a DESIGNER DRAFT challenge. 

This week we are inspired by the following sketch:

**Sentiments can be placed anywhere on the sketch.

Because this is our last sketch challenge... I decided to be ME! I changed this sketch again, but I think you will see how it inspired me;)

I used several PS stamps and dies for this card including the Paper Smooches Lots of Love, Smoocheroos, Uplifters, Word Bubbles dies, Love & Cherish dies, and the Ornaments dies dies. I just love these Studio Calico papers (from like a year ago--- Here + There)! I thought they would be perfect for an anniversary card for Trav. I'm hoping to sneak this in my suitcase so that I can give it to him while we are in Paris for our anniversary:) Hopefully he doesn't see it beforehand! 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs, get inspired, and leave them some love. ****NOTE: Today is this PSS DT group's last week sharing creations! THANK YOU so much to the team for making my job fun and easy! Many blessings to you ❤️ LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU all so much! *******NOTE: this week is the LAST week for the PSS challenges! I will be joining in the fun for the PS monthly challenges NEXT week! I'm super excited for this new adventure and hope that you will join in the fun with me:)

Today we begin our last Anything Goes challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! 

That's right--you get to create ANYTHING you want (as long as you use Paper Smooches stamps)!! This is the BEST challenge ever!!!

This is such a SIMPLE card-- it's for my brother-in-law who was just sworn in as a Police Officer (that's why I used the PS Paws for a Cause stamp/die set--- I thought this dog looked like a K9....police-like!). His birthday is next week. 

I followed a simple design because it fit Allen's personality. Graphic and masculine! LOL! 

I also used the PS Digits and Birthday Bash stamp sets for this card. 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love. ****NOTE: Today is this PSS DT group's last week sharing creations!

This week we are inspired by the following picture:

Picture: Credit

To be honest--- I do not like to make "fall" themed cards. However............ I had about 10 different card designs for this "fall" themed photo! LOL! 

I used SEVERAL Paper Smooches die sets including Seasonal Tree, Trees 1, Adornments, Tiny Hearts, and Love & Cherish. **NOTE: Several of these dies are on SALE:) I also created the sentiment using the PS Autumn Groves and Notebook Paper Two stamp sets. Super easy- well.... it wasn't easy but it was super fun to make! I love layers and adding lots of details:) 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love.
