Limiting your colour range with Grace’s Garden

Limiting your range of colours can make a striking card, something I often do if I want a sentiment or image to really stand out. In this simple three colour card I’ve use the stamp set Grace’s Garden stamp set as my basis, but created interest by adding layers. I started off with a simple white folded card to which I added a layer of Peony Garden designer series paper. This single colour design…

These two guys do nothing but make me grin!  I haven’t used them together before, but here they are in all their glory.  Also, I changed up the big monster by turning his closed eyes into eyebrows and giving him some google eyes as well.  Thought that was cute.

How fun is it to get a birthday card in the mail, right?  Well, when one as bright and festive as this one shows up, it is bound to bring a smile to your face.  And that is why people like me enjoy making cards, to share smiles.

Hip Hip Hooray for Today!

What kind of fun events do you get excited for?  There are so many special days to celebrate it is hard to choose just one.  For me?  Well, today is all about celebrating the special meeting of my future daughter-in-law.  I have to admit, there is a bit of nervous energy going on there, more than I am aware of I am sure.  But still, what a wonderful day to celebrate. I am in love with this tiny…
