Back To School

July 31, 2013

How can this possibly be the LAST day of July?!?!?  I honestly don't know where the year has gone!
Time is flying by too quickly and on that note, I am going to share a card I made tonight for my PRECIOUS, First GRANDdaughter, Miss Addison Lee.  She is going to start Pre-K on Monday.  It is a bittersweet moment for all of us.  She is such a funny, inquisitive, friendly and precocious little girl that will be a delight for any teacher!  When I spend special time with her, I realize how much I miss teaching!

Swallowtail

July 29, 2013

While my one year old GRANDdaughter took a nap this morning, I was able to sneak in my craft room for about 30 minutes.

I came up with this quick card idea and thought it would be great made in several different colors for a note card gift set.  Hope you enjoy the bright summer colors.

Regarding Dahlias/Happy Birthday

July 27, 2012

I received a large box from Stampin' Up! last night, so after sorting through all my new treasures, I decided to use a piece of my new Witches' Brew Designer Series Paper.  I love the whole pack of paper and decided the chevron piece would be perfect for this card.
