I’m taking a break from the coloring and cards today to share some easy treat bag toppers I made with just a handful of dies from Crafter’s Companion. Although mine is a birthday topper, the designs and colors I used could just as easily work for Valentine’s Day or Easter…both of which are quickly approaching! […]
Spring
Just Bee-cause Gift Box and Tag
I have a long history with bugs. I don’t know how it happened or if it was ever a conscious choice, but somehow bugs became my thing (one of them, anyway). In high school, the theme of my senior art thesis was insects – I remember having to analyze a painting full of them from […]
Dream in Color Cards
I’m back today with a set of two emboss-resist cards I made using the soon-to-be-released stamp set “Inspire” from Pink and Main.

To add interest and a little something different, this time I painted the inside of […]
Showers of Love Card
It’s finally starting to look a little like Spring where I am now…so lately I’ve really been starting to crave pretty pale colors…and Hershey’s Marshmallow Eggs. 🙂 Today I wanted to share a card featuring stamps from the new “Puddles Boy” and “Puddles Girl” sets by Pink & Main. I also wanted to try out […]
Pretty as a Flower Card
I’m so ready for springtime. We had a relatively mild winter this year until February came along…and then it was ice storm after ice storm! Thankfully, this week we finally broke into the 70s and it was like everyone in the metropolitan area suddenly relaxed a bit (including myself). Anyway, when I saw the new […]
