All Ye Faithful
What a perfect card to celebrate the true reason of the season. This was a favorite of my customers. Not just the card but the stamp set as well.

Giving Thanks
This is the time of the year when I pause to count my blessing and give thanks. To all of the members of the stamping community, I give thanks to you. My customers who support me with friendship and enthusiasm, and to my peeps who help me learn, play and grow. I am looking forward to spending many hours of creativity with all of you and making many more memories. This card is a little different from most Thanksgiving cards but I love that you allow me to get out of the box occasionally in an acorny way.

Time to Chill
This adorable card could be used for a variety of winter purposes. It features the adorable Penguin from the Snow Place stamp set. We love the penguins here in St. Louis at our fabulous zoo so this card really celebrates our home town. If your not from this area and visit the St. Louis Zoo during the summer, the Penguin and Puffin Coast is the place to go to chill out as it is kept at 45 degrees year round. Watch for another tribute to our Zoo in the soon to be published 2016 Calendars.
The inside greeting is from the retired classic Many Merry Messages stamp set from 2006.

Barbosol Isn’t Just for Men
My grandson and I had a grand time using the shaving creme technique to make the background for this card. The technique and design came straight from Claudia Perry who provides a detailed tutorial on this artistry. If a four year old can do it, so can you!

Barbosol Shaving Cream
English Gardens
This is a card that I located on Alison Solven's blog where she used the same sketch to make several cards with different color schemes. This one was my favorite. I dressed up the inside and envelope with the fern stamp. A beautiful card without one step using the Big Shot.
Silver Butterfly
This card was designed by Carolyn King who is one of my favorite artisans. In this project she used Washi Tape from various collections to create a background to enhance the color palette. I gave it a try and am pleased with the results.
