Four Seasons Framed Art
This weekend my sister and her husband are moving into their new lakefront home. It’s beautiful! I wanted to make a quick gift for them, and since I never got around to using this frame I thought I’d so a four seasons framed art piece. Pressed for time, I whipped this up in a few […]
The Open Sea Retirement Card
Today we have a retirement card featuring The Open Sea and Maritime Designer Paper… a perfect pairing!

Lovely as a Tree on the Water
Well, I dug out my brayer again to create this lovely on-the-water themed card. The photo doesn’t do it justice, I think my lighting washed it out, as the colors are much more intense in person. The ink colors used with my brayer were Marina Mist, Island Indigo, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, and Basic Black. […]
Wetlands Thank You Card Ideas
Today’s card features one of my favorite nature stamps, Wetlands. I love the new Lost Lagoon color from the new 2014-2016 In Color collection, so that was my starting point.
