Another Seaside Card

It’s been a few days since I’ve posted. Not my stated goal, but I do have a good excuse. Surgery. Nothing life-threatening, but it was my first time having surgery and my first time going under general anesthesia.  Everything went well and although I’m still sore, I’m ready to get a few more creative moments…

Sick of Seaside yet?

Day 2 of the CTMH Blog Boosters Annual Inspirations Blog Hop. Again, consultants will be adding art work over the next 6 days, so the linky list at the bottom of this post will continue to grow and grow during that time. So be sure to come back often so you can see what’s new….

Health Journey

All my life, or at least since the onset of puberty, I have battled my weight.  I can remember being called a “fat a$$” by a family member and even as an adult, my grandmother would just blurt out, “Tammy, you’re gettin’ fat!”  (Thanks Granny. I wondered why I couldn’t button my jeans.)  Of course,…

Throwback Thursday…Creative Lettering

If you are fairly new to the world of scrapbooking, it may be hard to imagine that there was a time that when you needed a title there was no such thing as a Cricut, or Silhouette, or Slice and not everyone had a computer in their home, much less a printer. Sticker letters were…

"Friend You Lift Me Up" Center Step Card

Today’s card is one that I made for the last Cards, Etc. workshop. I wanted to challenge my ladies with some watercoloring, but truth be told, I was a little nervous that I was pushing it and that they may revolt. 🙂 So I offered them some other coloring alternatives, like colored pencils and blender…
