What inspires you?
Inspiration comes in many forms for me. At times it starts with a photo and not a card. The sentiment doesn’t photograph well, but is very apparent on the finished card. This lovely arrangement inspired the Copic marker color choices. The stamp and die set is from Honeybee stamps, on-the-line Fall florals. When you have…

Card Layout Process
I thought I’d share the process I use when creating a card layout using this adorable digital stamp from Mo’s Digital Pencil. I’m a sketcher, so I use a digital notebook I created to sketch ideas and categorize them according to my image type. While this can be done on a computer, I use an…

A Card of Encouragement
Create your own path. Even when I try different types of cards, I’m just not as satisfied unless I have either a Copic colored or watercolor element combined with something elegant. What’s your style? To mat or not to mat. I’m normally a fan of matting. But your layout and style will dictate that. In…

You’ve got a friend in me…
Do you have a friend you can talk to every 6 months and the conversation picks up as if it was the day before? Whether you have one good friend or 50, you are blessed. Unwavering support and companionship warms the heart. After all, a friend loves at all times. Proverbs 17:17. This Sweet duo…

Love everything about You….
I see so many times where we conflate loving someone with loving everything they do. For me, it’s separate. You don’t have to condone, like or participate in what a person does to love them. Kindness, a helping hand, a shoulder can all be there without agreeing on their actions…..and to me that’s true Love.…
