Today is my hubby’s birthday! So, first off: Happy Birthday, Scott! After being together for 12 1/2 years, we’ve gone through a lot of changes and growing (though he will tell you that it was mostly me that had the growing to do! ha ha!) But now he is the one getting old and…
When you are making a birthday card for someone, isn’t one of the top things on your mind all about making them smile? Well, unless the birthday boy or girl hates cupcakes (is that even possible?!) I’m going to bet this one will bring a smile to their face! At least it does for me…

It can be a struggle sometimes to make masculine cards… there are just too many pretty ribbons, flowery stamps, and sparkles! But as part of my Fabulous Fall card class, I tried to throw in some cards for the guys; and this was one that we made: See, no ribbon! No flowers! 🙂 Yes, I…
Alright, so I thought I’d share the last card we made at my folds class. This is a super simple card style but it packs some wow! factor. So, here is the front of the card using my new You’re Amazing stamp set that I got at convention a couple weeks ago. But to…
Today is the day that I fly to SLC, so be checking back here and on my facebook page for updates from Convention. But before I go, I wanted to share one more birthday card using the Patio Party designer paper and Make a Cake stamp set. This card is actually really quick and…
