All You Need is Glitter

The gorgeous digi paper is from the We Are 3 Elegant Texture collection.  So many beautiful lacy patterns in that collection. 

Another Layout Sketch

 Clean and simple - just my style.

I'm using embellishments from Love SVG and Digital Web Studio that go perfectly with the sentiment from We Are 3.

Wild Flowers at We Are 3

This is for all my friends who are dog lovers.  The burlap design paper is from the new release from We Are 3, Wild Flowers.   

I always enjoy Splitcoast Stampers' Featured Stamper - the inspiration for the clean design.

You can see more fabulous makes from the Featured Stamper Challenge in their gallery.  Remember, it runs all week - so plenty of time to join us!  Hope to see you there!

A Gorgeous Card in only 4 Minutes!

HAH!!!!! I could literally spend HOURS on a card.  Ideally, I should finish a card in a matter of minutes.  I thought when I bought this embossing folder by Darice, I could quickly make an elegant sympathy card (in this case - Pet Loss).  Hah!  We all know the size of an A2 card - why are these folders always just a little bit off?  And with the embossed frame so close to the card edge (only 1/8" smaller) - it was extremely difficult to center this embossed image on the card.  No such thing as finishing this "simple" card FAST!  Truly a shame - because it is a very beautiful embossed image - Clean - but NOT simple.

This cute dog is a freebie from Melonheadz.

Simple Birthday Cards for Dog Lovers

Hello, All!

Long day today, so I wanted to create a couple fast-n-easy cards, so I used a couple dog images and simple matting.

You are My Neigbor

Cute images from Dollar Doodles are key components of my western-themed cards.  I added simple sentiments to these cheerful images.

2015 Pet-Adoption Event - April 11

April 11 is Tucson's Pet Adoption event, so what better time to scrap the four-legged friends in your life with birthday wishes.

This is your chance to wish two-legged friends with "ruff" and "purr-fect" birthday wishes.  There are a lot of different digital files to suit your personal taste and designs for cards.  BTW, if you are in the Tucson area, you will probably be able to find a four-legged friend to suit your personal taste at the Pet-Adoption Event, too.

Birthday Cards

Puppies are great for sending greetings - including birthday.  Whether it's from a digital image or stamp, using a pup meakes for a fun, homemade card.  And the best part?  Puppy files are easy to find from SVG Cuts, 2 Cute Ink, and Kadoodle Bug.
