Swirly Bird - WWYS80

September 5, 2016

Oh my gosh! I love this card and I hope my Grandma loved it too. She fell a few weeks back and has been recovering in a PT facility. She has been in a bunch of pain, even though she hides it well. Hopefully this card brightened her day a tiny bit.

Swirly Bird is the What Will You Stamp challenge set for this week. I used Swirly Bird along with the Time of Year Hostess set to create this card. I've used the Swirly Bird bundle in the past and you can see that sample here. For more inspiration using this stamp set check out the WWYS blog. There are over a dozen talented stampers are sharing inspiration using this set!!! Seriously ... so many things to can create with this one set. Thanks for stopping by.

In the Meadow - WWYS079

August 29, 2016

In the Meadow is this weeks What Will You Stamp challenge set. Every week the design team over at WWYS picks a Stampin' Up! stamp set to highlight. Every designer makes a card with that set and all are featured on the WWYS blog. You can play along with us. Make a project using the featured set and win the chance to be a featured stamper in a future WWYS post. Fun stuff.

Some of the chosen sets are easier to work with than others. This was a hard set for me to create with. It took me a while to come up with a project I liked. This is a different art style than I typically stamp with. I needed a more masculine card and I thought the imagery in this set worked for perfect for that need. My father retired this year, CONGRATS DAD! I made this card just for him. I cut apart the sentiment from the set and like how it hints to the years spent working.

Thanks for stopping by!

20th Anniversary + Sneak Peak for It’s a Celebration

August 17, 2016

Can you believe it? Chris and I have been married 20 years. Today is our 20th anniversary!!! Nuts as it seems like forever and yesterday all at the same time.

I sat down last night to make a card and struggled a bit. I had cardmakers block. LOL. I guess the pressure of 20 years got to me. So I made two cards. Can't decided which one I like best so I'll give one to Chris and he can use the other for me. :)

The Firework images on this card are a little sneak peak from a new stamp set (It’s a Celebration) from the upcoming Holiday mini, available to view and purchase from on Sept 1. Stay tuned!
