I made an amazing chicken stir-fry yesterday. I had used a Toasted Sesame vinaigrette (new for me) and it was delicious. I couldn’t wait to get home tonight to have the left overs. And tonight you are all getting leftovers as well. Just not as delicious. I had made this card earlier in the week… Read More »
This is a totally non-card or papercrafting post. You know I am a fan of American Idol and my favourite this season (while I don’t think he will win) is Kris Allen. Well I figured it out. He reminds me of Michael Callan. Michael was an actor/singer from the 50’s/60’s (I think he is still… Read More »
I had posted a card back in March that I received from Rose Murphy (check labels on the right hand side under “Friend”). I loved how she stamped the elephant image on some DSP and then paper pieced it on top. The stamp set is SU’s Happy Heart Day – and well, it is not… Read More »

I was in my element this afternoon. TCM had some good movies on – “Roustabout”, “Yours, Mine and Ours” and “April in Paris” is on next. I love the old movies. I wasn’t as productive as I hoped making cards. I do have a bunch of Easter Cards partially made but need to stop at… Read More »
Today’ card is using one of the stamp sets out of the new Occasions Mini Catalogue – Scene in a Garden. I love this image and the rain boots. I popped up the rain boots and stack of pots. The other images that come with the set are a vase, birdhouse, little bird and set… Read More »
Well I know that April Showers brings May flowers – but enough already – it can STOP! It has rained all day. I came home from work tonight, cleaned the house and got caught up on the laundry. I even cleaned up my craft room. I have some errands to run tomorrow but once I… Read More »
Since I found my “Unfrogettable Card” I finally got the one made that I need for tomorrow. One of the ladies at work needed a card for a little boy and well, I think this turned out Too Stinkin Cute. I used buttons instead of a bow (since it is for a boy) and the… Read More »
