For ideas, inspiration and tutorialsTuesday “Everybunny” Card Class Preview!
Tomorrow evening is my Everybunny stamp class. I'm so excited about this stamp set because I immediately saw other possibilities besides the obvious Easter cards that it suggested. Most obvious to me was the chance to make a "baby" card. Here's the whole group of them together but I'll show you individual photos as well. Group Photo of the Card class for Tuesday night.This card was inspired by Lisa Foster and the U Stamp Big Shot class. I originally case'd her card but she called for the note...
Happy “Pre-Green” Day!
Well, today is my son, Christopher's birthday (14 today, woohoo!!) so I don't anticipate getting a post up tomorrow. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of my Irish and "Irish" followers!!Here's my "green" card which I'm going to submit to Donna Centamore's (Butternut Sage) Morning Chat Challenge.

You might recognize it as it was a card that I displayed in last week's class, although I "jazzed" it up a bit more with the new pleated ribbon!This card is SO right for my parents! They're the cutest thing together -- if my dad's knees weren't so bad that he can't ride a bike anymore, they'd still be riding together like this! This year will be 48 years for them.It's such a cute...
My Valentines!
Well, another Valentine's Day has come and {almost} gone ... my goodness, the year is flying by! I wanted to share the valentines I made for my husband and kids. (You saw the one I created for my daughter yesterday -- she'll get the Up, Up and Away card since the balloons were pink!)I found a tutorial from Lynn Pratt to create this cute little airplane. There's a story behind this card, or my reason for creating it, that is.My husband loves to fly. He had his pilot's license before he had his...
