Hello Everyone! Maybe it's the boy mama in me, but I immediately fell in love with the Beetles & Bugs stampset when I saw it in the Occasions catalog.   This first card, I was inspired by a t-shirt Bentley had.  I was looking for a picture of it, and couldn't find it!  But it was Navy Blue with white bugs and an orange bug as an accent. Here's what I came up with: This ended up being a swap card and a card we made in class.  Inside it says "Happy Bugday". This next one was inspired by two...

Hello Everyone! I apologize that this one is so late, but this Easter Bundle is so cute, you will want to pick it up for next easter! But first, speaking of cute: This was Bentley's second Easter, and he definitely "got" the point of the egg hunt--even better, he fed all the candy to his mother! :)  Let's just say he's learning quickly, even pantless! But back to the cute Easter card: Cute isn't it?  It was CASEd, but unfortunately, I can't find the original (it was changed a bit), but sorry to the original artist! I hope you have...

Hello Everyone! I wanted to show you the card that I made for Mother's Day! We made this z-fold card using the Oh, So Succulent stampset at the last class.  I love how it turned out--but I love the sentiment even more!  "Because of you, I am me, Happy Mother's Day".  How perfect is that!

Hello Everyone! I hope all the moms had a fantastic Mother's Day weekend!  I had a nice relaxing one, visiting with family on Saturday, and then on Sunday a day at home with our little family. I mean, it's always good when you have a dog to use as a backrest while you read, right?  The fact he has a giant dog bed to share helps! Today, I wanted to show the Everyday Hero stampset.  I absolutely love this stampset, and we used it to create a few cards the last class: Perfect for the non-flowery, super hero loving mom,...

Hello Everyone! I wanted to show some swap cards I received using the Cool Treats bundle.  This cute bundle certainly will suit our upcoming summer weather (you know after the rain eventually stops!). This card is from Mel Pigozzo.  I love the colours and the matching Designer Series Paper!  Did you know that most of our stampsets are available in French as well? This card is from Tamra Davis.  I love the added detail of the sprinkles on top! This card is from Bernice Hallack.  I love that she used our letter stamps to create a custom sentiment! This card...
