Lotus Blossom
The Lotus Blossom stamp set is a beautiful triple stamp set that can be used with one or multiple colors of ink. It is gorgeous either way. I've seen it all over Pinterest and just had to give it a try. Any sentiment will work with this card for many occassions.

I’m All About That Face
This is the card that inspired the August calendar for the 2015 Calendar Project. When I saw that face in the Ray of Sunshine stamp set, I knew I had to have it. When I saw Justin Krieger's card made with this stamp set, I had to make it. I used the Scallop Circle Punch to create the Sun:
- Punch out the shape first with the Scallop Circle Punch
- Attach a strip of light-weight paper to it (I call the fish line technique). Use the strip of paper as a guide to hold and reposition your shape
- Insert the scallop back into the punch
- Offset the design half way between the scallops and re-punch
Don’t Cry Over Spilled Coffee
We made this card a while back at my October stamp camp. I actually sewed the paper with my mom's Singer Golden Touch n Sew sewing machine. It must be 40 years old at least. Its performance and my rusty skills were match perfectly to create the shabby chic effect I was going for. We used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to make it look like someone had spilled their coffee on the card. That was a hoot. Sponging added more shabbiness. I loved how it turned out for a masculine looking card. The crinkled twine used was defrayed burlap ribbon.

My New Years Resolution
This is a New Years card I received as a swap from the talented Cindy Williams. This inside is just as classy as the outside but difficult to photograph. My resolution for 2015 is to post more frequently on my blog. Wish me luck.
Happy New Year everyone! May 2015 bring you good health and prosperity.
It’s All About the Shoes
Happy Halloween everyone. This has been such a fun card to make. I hope those who receive it get a kick out of it (tee hee).

Products Used:
Granny Mac’s Tea Towels
When I saw this card in the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog (page 170) it reminded me of the tea towels my Grandma would hang in her bathroom when she was expecting special company. It was her Sunday School class luncheons that I recall the most. She got out her special luncheon table clothes and napkins. She usually served tuna stuffed tomatoes and cucumber salad made using fresh vegetables from my Grandpa's garden. Dessert was peach cobbler made dirtying only one bowl. She never measured any ingredients and always had a perfect crust.
On with the card…..I replaced the stitching with paper piercing to make it just a little easier on my customers and used a different framelit. I used Old Olive cut from the Bitty Banner punch. I used Naturals White cardstock instead of Crumb Cake. The Blendabilities worked great by the way. And I used Basic Black for my card base as I always like my layers.
Now I have to have some tuna salad. Mmm!
