Here’s a card that I made for my father-in-law’s birthday this weekend:

Here’s the basic idea behind this card: I knew that I wanted to create a water-logged look for this palm tree. I [...]
Hey… it’s not Monday, is it? Oops! Hope you had a happy holiday weekend! Can you tell that I had a restful one? Hee hee…
This week’s winner is Sharon (who said that she’s not an ice cream person) but she mentioned another love of mine—coffee! So, I’ll let her keep her goodies. Congratulations, Sharon! I’ll [...]
Well, the USPS has killed the Friday Freebie. At least for a little while…
They’ve raised their rates and they also now consider what I would call a package to be a “parcel” and thus my costs went up from 39 cents to $1.30! Gee, thanks.
So on that note, here is this week’s Friday Freebie, [...]
I had the pleasure of designing a banner for a brand new blog, The Caruso Manner (I bet Allison doesn’t even know about this one yet!).
Jan Marie has only just started and already she promises to have a ton of inspiration to share with us. Stop by for a peak at her new banner [...]

Five pink floral embellishments, each with a silver brad
One yard green gingham [...]

Scallops and white dots—all the rage! Here’s a card I recently made for my Etsy shop:
I just love the simplicity of this card, which really shows off the cute little dimensional flip flops. And the dots on the tag are about the easiest thing you can do with a Signo pen. Don’t they look great? [...]
