Just Because


Hello, friends!  If you think you've seen this card before, you are not crazy...you have!  I was so enchanted by Laurie's Make it Monday challenge a few weeks ago that I made MORE cards but in different colours for Transformation Tuesday.  Here's my orange take on the card and below shows it in autumn rose, rustic white (which you saw last week) and kraft (like Laurie's).  I could make these again and again, such an amazing layout...thank you, Laurie!

Awesome, Wonderful ~ PTI's Blog Hop


Welcome to my take on this month's PTI blog hop inspiration :)  I don't have many pumpkin images in my craft supply so I went with colour, pattern, and leaf inspiration!  Using some old, but timeless sets here.  Thanks for stopping by!  I can't wait to see what y'all have come up with for this gorgeous picture...

Live to Inspire ~ Make it Mondays


Hi friends!  I'm sneaking my take on PTI's Make it Monday under the wire here...busy weekend, but LOVE Laurie's tutorial so much including her layout...so I'm CASEing her.  I changed the background stamp, colours, and sentiment, but the card is all Laurie's.  Here it is in autumn rose :)




I used gold, silver, and rose gold (from the 90's!) embossing powder.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great start to your week :)

You're Amazing ~ Transformation Tuesday


Greetings, friends!  I'm back with my take on PTI's Transformation Tuesday.  I transformed the card I made for Create Along with Us by using more Fall colours and switched up the flowers for a beloved red maple leaf (how Canadian is that :)  Here are the 2 cards together.

Congrats ~ The Card Concept


  Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge over at The Card Concept challenge blog.   Our challenge is based on this darling photo...


Now that I'm back at work, I've had to make sure I create 2 cards at once to beef up my stash.  Also, my sister just came over and cleaned out my birthday cards so you may see more birthday cards over the next little while like this one!  My clean and simply layered card (yes, I didn't think it was a true CAS or a simply layered, so I smashed the 2 styles together) was inspired by the colours and pattern.


I hope you'll head over to The Card Concept blog to see all the different interpretations from the Design Team then join in the fun!  Have a great day!

Wonderful Friend


 Hello, wonderful friends!  I'm having a lovely morning in the studio playing along with PTI's Creat Along with Us.  I went through all the release days and fell in love with Melissa's card HERE.  I kept the same layout and colour scheme then added some Gran's Garden flowers and leaves.  Thanks for stopping by!  Hope your day is going well l:)

With Heartfelt Sympathy


 Hello friends!  Well, I survived my first week back at work!  I got my new class on Thursday and oh my, they are adorable!  If the first two days with them are any indication, we are going to have a great year!  I had made this card a few weeks ago for my sister (just to keep in her stash, no sad event yet) and wanted to play around with some more colours.  I love the new Orchid Expressions set...so easy to stamp with and only a few dies! Here are two more I made for PTI's Transformation Tuesday...



And all 3 together...


 Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!

Happy Birthday


Hey everyone!  I'm back today with a card that I made, transforming the one I made yesterday for PTI's Transformation Tuesday.  With school going back tomorrow and company this weekend, my mojo was wavering a bit so I stuck with clean and simple and a few favourite images at the moment.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great week and wish me luck!
