Paper and Craft Projects: Gratitude Jar

Another Blast From The Past
Here’s another blast from the past. I called it “Self Portrait.” LOL! Who can tell me what stamp sets were used to make this handmade card? A perfect example of “thinking outside the box,” why don’t you look at the stamps you already have and come up with different ways to use them? A great […]
Big and Bold Bday Cards
Today’s sample features bday cards. I usually prefer to use big and bold greeting card sayings. They really make a statement and can often stand on their own, like the birthday wishes on this handmade card.

How to Take Better Pictures

After all these years I can usually manage to get some pretty good scrap-worthy shots, even though I don’t really know much about my digital camera.
