Down Under Colour Challenge
When I first saw this particular pattern from the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper collection, I thought, “Hmmmmm. What in the world could I do with that?” Well it didn’t take long to figure it out when I surfed across the pond & found a blog by Carolyn King from Perth, Australia. Carolyn designed this card as part of a “Colour” challenge to use Soft Suede, River Rock and Pretty in Pink. When you get a moment, take a look at her Blog and see all of her wonderful designs. I am so inspired—and ready to copy every one of them.
This card was the #2 favorite at my last stamp camp.

Facebook Spring Cover & Badge
With 12 inches of snow on the ground, I had to THINK SPRING!! What better way than opening up MDS (My Digital Studio) on my laptop and create my Spring Facebook Cover and Badge while watching the snow fall. I was sure glad not to have to go anywhere. I hope all my peeps are safe. I created these using the Lemonade Stand Collection.
Sealed with a Kiss
Sent with Love is a special bundle available for a limited time. When I first saw it, words like patriotic, masculine, soldiers came to mind. Mostly I sure because of the airplanes. But after studying it for a while, I saw past the airplanes and noticed that it also had some lovely soft colors that were perfect for us gals. So with paper & stamp set in hand, I came up with this sweet card that sends a powerful message from my softer side. Aah, the memories of a younger day when cards were sprayed with perfume, sealed with a kiss and sent air mail.

Judy’s Birthday
My good friend & peep Judy Sumner had a birthday and I made this card for her. I managed to deliver it to her a day early when our Pieces of Heart Demonstrator Group met for our monthly dinner. I absolutely love the Print Poetry Paper Stack. It has some beautiful prints that coordinate so well together. Perfect for layering—all 14 of them just on the front—but who’s counting?

Penny-Farthing
The old British Penny and Farthing (quarter & penny) coins inspired the name of the Penny-Farthing bicycle. I never really knew that. Looked it up on my go-to Wikipedia. This card is the second in my Sale-a-brations series using the awesome Feeling Sentimental set. I’m just not sure how I am going to be able to live without this set when it retires in just a few weeks.
