June Card Buffet

Without really planning a theme for this month, it sort of ended up being "flowers".  I really love flowers,  The varieties and colors are endless.  Apartment living doesn't lend itself very much to growing flowers.  And the Texas heat can sure wilt them in no time at all.  The building next to my apartment used to be the Plant Shed nursery.  It was so nice looking at all the wonderful living things in the back of their building.  Now I mainly create them with paper.  Please join me and we will create lovely cards together.

Celebrate the 4th of July

July Card Buffet

In one week it will be August.  That means we are another month closer to Fall and cooler weather.  I long for this time every year.  The heat and humidity and I do not get along.  But on a positive note, there is no snow and ice.  And before we welcome August, we have one last Thursday in July for our Card Buffet.  And with a new catalog comes new stamp sets, cardstock and designer series papers.

You're in my Thoughts

I saw this cute card on Operation Write Home, and I knew I

could re-create it using Stampin' Up products.  

 Many Thanks

Happy Anniversary

When I saw this card on Pinterest, I fell in love with it (so to speak).

Thanks to Debbi at debbisdesign.blogspot.ca.  I added

the anniversary sentiment when I thought of my in-laws coming

58th anniversary.  Marriage is definitely a journey.

 Thinking of You

Washi tape adds a lot of color and the new Bow Builder

punch is so cute and fun.

Happy Birthday

We always need more masculine cards, and the sentiment

can be changed to fit the situation.

July Card Buffet

One of my new favorite stamp sets is Stampin' Ups Work of Art set.  What a fun and versatile set.  I can't believe everything you can make with it.  Pinterest is loaded with ideas to spark anyone's creativity.  So....this month we will be only using the Work of Art set to create a set of cards along with the box to hold them.  What a wonderful treat for you to use or to give as a gift to your favorite someone.

4th of July VCMP - Challenge #2

Thank You!  Two simple words that hold a great amount of meaning.  We owe so much thanks to all the Heroes that have served and are still serving our country.  And sometimes our Heroes want to thank someone back home for their love and support.  Challenge #2 was to make a Thank You card using spray inks or gelatos.  To be honest, I don't have those things, but I wanted to make a card anyway.  And thank you to all of you who support Operation Write Home and all of our Heroes.

June Card Buffet

Welcome to the new Stampin' Up Catalog year.  Many items have been retired, but many new items are ready to boost your creativity.  The cards this month feature some of the new stamps, papers and inks.  There is always a need for masculine cards, therefore you will find two samples that can be changed to fit your need.  With a new grandbaby on the way, I know I will need some baby cards.  I hope you too find something you need for your family and friends.  Happy Stamping!
