Enjoy Life
The stamp set that I’m featuring today is called Enjoy Life and it has a great masculine feel to it. The first creation was a card that I created for one of my cards workshop and then recreated for the card swap at Convention. You can read more about this creation on this post. Inside…
Rosy Regards
Ok…here’s another stamp set that’s going to be retiring at the end of the month. It’s called Rosy Regards. It’s been almost exactly one year since I created the card below and I still love it. I can’t put my finger on it. Is it the pleated ribbon? The way the flowers are cut? The…
Final CTMH Convention Album Contest Layout
Okay. Here is the last of the five layouts I entered into the album contest at convention. This is the layout where I stayed up until about 5 a.m. in the hotel room completing. I had to stay up so late, because I was exhausted and stressed out and my creative mojo was nowhere to…
CTMH Convention Album Contest Layout #3
The following is the third layout of my contest submission.

My Heart's Swap Group Card
My dear friend and sister Close To My Heart consultant, Tamra Pope, convinced me to join her swap group about six months ago. I hesitated, because…well, honestly…I don’t need “one more thing to do”. Maybe you can relate. However, she’s my friend and I love her work, but mostly I stink at saying no. Maybe…
