Hi there everyone,

The East Coast if floating away again! It's been raining here again and the water is rising. That's why I decided that this brightly colored card from Debbie Littlejohn was the perfect card for today. She used one of my favorite new stripes called snowcone stripe. It is available in 7/8" and 1.5" widths. Although I was thinking about the bow makers when I ordered this, it works just great on cards too, doesn't it.

Patterned Paper: American Crafts

Edge Punch: Stampin'UP!

Stamp: Unknown

Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon

As I sit here watching it rain (and rain and rain!!) I can't help dreaming of the sunny days ahead. What kind of weather are you experiencing in your neck of the woods??

With Love

There is just something so gorgeous about browns and blues together. They take me to an almost Victorian state of mind, where everything is old yet beautiful. I actually think it is one of my favorite color combinations and when I saw the new Sheer Square print in Brown/Blue, I knew I had to have some. So off I went to get some. Did you know there are some amazing embellishments you can buy now at Really Reasonable Ribbon??? Those vintage brads are calling my name.

Here is the card I created using the Sheer Square print. So soft yet so versatile.

The flower was made by using a daisy die cut from Sizzix. I used 2 sizes in 4 papers. Attached an eyelet in the center, then curled the edges around a pencil. Finally I painted the inside of the bloom with distress stickles. I think I'm calling it a Mum. Mums are such a beautiful flower. Do you have a favorite flower? Let us know.

Hope you all have a fantastic day.

Hi everyone.


I have a great card today made by Debbie Littlejohn. She uses our new Pink/Green Jute Stripe ribbon and it adds such a nice touch to her card. The ribbon goes perfectly with the patterned paper. We have 2 wide jute stripe ribbons, and five new 5/8" solid jute ribbons. They add great texture to any project.

I'm also pleased to announce that we are now carrying embellishments on our website. We have some great offerings from Creative Charms and we will be adding more in the coming weeks. Come on over and take a look!
