Keeping it simple - that's what this card is about. Stamp a white piece of card stock and then cut it into three equal parts and adhere to a colored card stock card base. In life and in cards, keeping it simple can create great results!

It's Time to Bloom! This card seems quite fitting for the beginning of 2009. The background was made by stamping the Posy background stamp with VersaMark and then using Heat & Stick powder to attach Dazzling Diamonds glitter - LOTS of it!!!! Today, although it is January and Winter, remember, it's time to bloom!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!! Hope your celebrations were wonderful! I am looking forward to spending 2009 with you and sharing in your creativity!

This is a monogram set that I created for my mom for her birthday. I put together 4 cards and placed them in a folder - also monogrammed. I used the cuttlebug embossing folders in my Big Shot to make the textured background (I'm in love with those embossing folders!). And sneaky me, I printed the monograms out on the computer since I didn't have a sophisticated alphabet stamp set. Enjoy!

Hi! It's been a long time since I wrote in this blog and now, after figuring out how to post again, I'm back just in time to wish everyone a happy new year!!!!!

The figments in my imagination have continued to blossom into reality! I am currently into...okay, "obsessed" might be a better word, creating with paper. I joined Stampin' Up! over a year ago and the paper crafting has been in full swing ever since. Lately I've been enjoying helping others explore their own creativity with card making and paper crafting and my hope is that this site will now be an inspiration for that exploration to continue.

May 2009 be a year of exploring your creativity and recognizing the unique creations living inside of you and making them a reality!
