{make a wish} part 2…and a tip for you

I needed to make a birthday card for a friend and loved the layout from the last card so much that I decided to do the same, but with a few changes.  I LOVE the color combo of the Soft Sky, River Rock & Black.  Instead of using the 3/16″ corner rounder punch to make the [...]

{make a wish}

Here’s a card made for a nice lady who owns a local restaurant.  She was very excited to tell me that she and her husband now own 30% of it.  These are hard-working people who deserve this happiness and since they are so kind to us when we come in I made her this card.  I [...]

Spring Solitude Milk Carton Box

I LOVE the Spring Solitude Bundle (a Hostess Level 2 set).  If you know me, it’s because it has a bird image…I can’t help it I have to have them all!  I used this tutorial from Splitcoast and as you can tell I made it with the same images and paper.  Pretty much the only [...]
