Wishing You A Season of Peace and Love card

I love, love, love this stamp from Katzelkraft.  I matched it with my new paper from Lavinia and then a sentiment from Gina K Designs.  Lots of different companies that all came together for a look that I love.

A Friend Like Gnome Other card

I can't believe I colored these gnomes over 6 months ago and I'm just now getting around to making a card.  That happened because I join in on a 30 Day Marker coloring challenge and I try to keep up making cards as I go but I always fall behind.

Always Room For Pie card

I have quite a few favorite Thanksgiving stamp sets and this one from Newton's Nook is definitely one.  I wanted to make a dark gray cat since my very first cat, Puffball, was a dark gray and a terrific protector of the family property. Any cat or dog that tried to step foot on the property would be escorted off.  He knew where the property line stopped and he'd hop off the offender.

You're My Hero card

I think everyone needs to hear this now and then.  Maybe the world would be just a little better if more people said it to someone...which is why I bought this stamp.  I try to tell it to my friends, even some that aren't occasionally.

Love You Cat card

This kitten is just the sweetest.  I did have a hard time choosing which sentiment to use with him but decided on a love theme since he might be playing she loves me, she loves me not with the daisy petals.  I had just gotten the polka dot die for the background and am impressed with how well it cut and didn't make too much of a mess with the dots.

Howling Wolf card

I am a wolf fan...I have a tat on my ankle, photos and a painting in my home, plus other wolf items.  I've always been a fan of Lavinia Stamps.  I just really purchased some and to my delight, discovered they have papers now too.  Perfect.  I'm still unsure about trying to make backgrounds like the beautiful ones they create.

Congratulations On Your Adoption card

My of my dearest friends asked for a special card to celebrate a relative adding a sweet little boy into their lives.  She sent me a photo of the boy and I had seen this stamp set but it was out of stock at Simon Says Stamp so I went to the Dreamerland Crafts website and luckily they still had it there (and they shipped it out really fast which was a plus).

Suns Out Buns Out card

This is a fun summer card featuring a bunny...and I do love bunnies!  And who doesn't love a rainbow uniform float?  Avery Elle came out with a bunch of cute new stamps and so far I've limited myself to just this one.  Shocker.

Batman Confidence card

I saw this new Riley & Co stamp and scrolled past it and then went back knowing I had to have it.  If you've ever seen a child wearing a batman t-shirt, you know how real it is.  Then I went to find a Batman stamp and love, absolutely love the one I found to go with it.
