Hello, friends!I am back to share a card I created to try and force my mojo to return. I’ll let you decide on the results!
I decided to use dies and stamps that had never been used as my inspiration. I had a lot of fun deciding on how to create depth and texture with the dies, and the use of shimmery cardstock was meant to mimic dewy summer mornings.
Overall, this experience actually did really help me get some crafty mojo back, and I do love the way this turned out! I’m sharing it with the fabulous challenges linked below.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you take some time to create soon and, if you can, enter some or all of these amazing challenges! Until next time, HUGS and happy crafting, friends!
Hi, friends! Today is a very bittersweet day for me. It's technically the first day of our summer break from school, but the past few months have been anything but normal and very emotionally taxing. I am so grateful for so many thing today, that I had to share a card that expressed that. Take a peek...
This card was made using old stamps from my stash. I used a heart that looks like a stamp because all of my love for my students has had to be posted somewhere and not in person. I used a Sakura gel pen to create the shiny faux black vinyl letters. A couple of black enamel gems finished this CAS, one layer card.
I am so grateful for the opportunity that I had to teach my 27 students this year. Before we left for spring break, I had a moment at the end of a day where I looked out at them all engaged and learning on their own accord, and my heart was FULL. I realized how much they had grown, and I cannot say how thankful I am just for that small moment and experience to help carry me through the last 8 weeks. I also have so much gratitude for the staff and parents I was blessed to work with this year. There is NO WAY I would have been able to do this without them!
I am entering this creation into these fabulous challenges~

Hi, friends! I'm back with another card that uses some of my washi stash! This card uses the same general layout as the first card I shared, but the card orientation is different. Take a peek!
I went for a monochrome purple for this card. Both washi tapes are from my stash, the stamps, paper, and black ink are from The Stamps of Life, the ombre ink is from Hero Arts, and the bling is from Doodlebug Design.
I totally adore purple, and this is one of my favorite cards made this year! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Hi, friends! Just poppin' by to say THANK YOU for everyone who has joined in this month at The Rainbow Card Challenge and letting everyone know you have one week left to enter your creations! To show my appreciation, I've created a digital card to share with you! Take a peek...
The focal panel of this card was pretty easy-peasy to make! I used Adobe Photoshop to get the variety of elements the correct colors and in the proper places, but you could probably make something very similar in a word processing program! If you like this card panel, I'm sharing it for FREE! Just left click, then right click, and save for your PERSONAL USE!

I'll be sharing a different ombre card from each month this year, so make sure to check back each month to complete your collection! Don't forget to head over to The Rainbow Card Challenge to link up with us, too! Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends!

Hello, friends! Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for all of you and so much more! I just LOVE this time of year! The weather is getting cooler (for which this teacher who has recess duty NEEDS), spirits are high, and the opportunities to share and give are endless! Today I have a card that I made using digital elements from Ooh La La Scraps with a thankful sentiment. This card was made for one of the staff members at the school I work at. It takes a focused team to help, and I am so thankful for all the amazing people I get to work with daily!
Ok, so technically this is two cards. One that is plain and flat (this is the one that went to the coworker--he isn't into frills, but our staff needed to thank him), and the other has some twine, Card Candi, and a key charm added for some texture and interest. This card is yet to be given, but it will be soon, I hope! The digital paper and images are from the Nearly Fall digital scrapbooking kit from Ooh La La Scraps. I created the layering and sentiment myself, and put the focal panels together using Adobe Photoshop.
I totally adore the way these turned out! The simple fall vibe really makes my heart happy right now. I hope you like them, too! I can't wait to hear your comments below--they totally make my day!

Thank you again for stopping by today, friends! If you are interested and looking for a *NEW* challenge and/or design team, please check out my *NEW* challenge, The Rainbow Card Challenge, coming January 2019 with a DT call going on NOW! That's all I have for now, but I hope to be back again soon! Until next time, HUGS and happy crafting, all!
Hello, crafty friends! I am super excited to get to be a guest designer this month at the Crafter's Castle Challenge! Thank you to Janie for inviting me, and for all the DT members and their welcoming kindness! The challenge theme this month is "Anything Holiday Goes"! The sponsor for this month's challenge is OohLaLaScraps (an Etsy Shop). Please visit them to see the amazing variety of products they have! I just know that you will find the perfect item for your next digital creation!
As a teacher, I like to keep thank you postcards around to give to students when they delight me with a picture or other gift. I think setting the example for giving thanks is essential in the education of children, and they love getting a handwritten thank you! Don't we all, really? And isn't Thanksgiving the perfect time to send a small thank you to someone who has helped you? I think so. ;)
I used Adobe Photoshop to create these darling postcards. They use digital papers and elements from the Nearly Fall digital scrapbook kit from OohLaLaScraps. I just LOVE the variety of products in these kits--there is SO MUCH to choose from!
To see how my project was created, please check out my video!

Hi, friends! I hope you all had a happy, safe, and enjoyable Independence Day if you live in the USA. We spent time with family and it was GRATE! Which brings me to this post's card...
I used patterned paper, cardstock, and ink from Stampin' Up!, stamps and die from Close To My Heart, and embellishments from a smattering of places for this card. I LOVE puns, so this sentiment and image combo make my heart happy!
I think this cards turned out beautifully, and I hope you agree! I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
