February Card Buffet 2016

It's still winter - right?  Well...it doesn't look or feel like winter here is North Texas.  So I guess thinking of Easter coming in March comes a little easier when it feels like Spring.  Easter is on March 27th this year, so we are focusing on this wonderful holiday.

HELLO 2016!

It's been a few months since I have posted anything here.  Lots of Christmas card making took up the bulk of my time.  Once they were finished and delivered and the Christmas holidays were over, I worked on a special order for a friend of a friend.  They had planned a trip to Disney World and wanted 6 Disney themed cards to leave for the housekeeping crew with a tip inside.  Now I don't own any Disney stamps, but I do own punches and have access to the over-abundance of ideas on Pinterest.  Each card has a pocket inside too where the tip can be inserted.  After making them, it was hard to part with them.  I hope you enjoy them too.

Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack 2015

Now's the time to get ready for Christmas - at least with your cardmaking.  I know, it still feels like summer here in Texas, but November will be here in a few days.  And before we know it we will be in the thick of all the celebrating that comes with Thanksgiving and Christmas.  It's such a wonderful tradition to send our family and friends a special handmade card with a heartfelt greeting.

All is calm, all is bright

October Card Buffet

When's the last time someone did something nice for you?  Did you receive a gift?  Did they bring a meal over to you because of an illness?  Did they invite you out just to spend time with you?  Here is a chance to get creative and make some Thank You cards.  Saying Thanks is such a simple yet wonderful thing to do for someone else.  You just might bring a smile to their heart.  Here are four for anytime use and one to save for that special someone after Christmas. 

September Card Buffet

 As summer comes to an end, we start to focus on the upcoming holidays.  I truly miss the changing colors of the leaves that I so enjoyed in Minnesota.  So I love to make cards with colorful leaves, using Stampin' Up's new Vintage Leaves set.  And it's never too early to start thinking about Christmas cards.  Come join in the crafting fun and make some homemade cards to bless your friends and family.

August Card Buffet

I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer.  I can't believe how fast August has flown by.  Kids are returning to school and thoughts return to the upcoming holidays and all the wonderful card opportunities that come with that.  When I had a garden, we were blessed at this time of year with the bounty that a lot of hard work produced.  The first two cards reflect that time with the use of Stampin' Ups new Farmer's Market Designer Series Paper.  So enjoy what is left of summer and get ready to welcome fall!
