Hello! You Bloom Brighter Each Day!

 Oh my goodness!  Hello!  It's been what seems a lifetime since I've blogged.  Long story short...once Verve stamps closed and PTI changed ownership, my card making heart broke and my mojo just didn't feel right.  I then focused more on work and other interests, making cards only to give away.  Fast forward to this summer and recovering from hernia surgery (no worries, all went well!) and not going very far due to COVID, cleaning the studio was a top priority.  Then I had to check out the blogs I used to follow and was pleasantly surprised to see that one of my old stamping grounds, The Card Concept, was still going strong with a GORGEOUS inspiration photo.  I knew it was a great place to foster my slowly growing mojo.  I have NO new products but a room full of loved paper, stamps, and ink.  What more do I need?  I've never been good at defining my style, so I'm going with Clean and Layered. I was inspired by the colours and then let my heart decide the rest. 

Not sure how much posting I'll be doing, but it feels good to be creating again!  Thanks for stopping by!

Thankful ~ The Card Concept

Greetings everyone! I'm back!  No worries, just busy with work and life...it's all good :)  It's time for a fun new challenge over at The Card Concept challenge blog!  This week our inspiration comes from this gourd-eous photo, pun totally intended!

 I cracked open my new to me Simply Gourd-eous from PTI last year.  I just love the depth these multi step stamps create.  Love me some blue pumpkins too!  Head over to The Card Concept blog to see all the different interpretations from the Design Team then join in the fun!  Thanks so much for popping by:)

2 Teach is 2 Love ~ The Card Concept

Greetings everyone!  It's time for a fun new challenge over at The Card Concept challenge blog!    This week our inspiration comes from this fabulous photo:

Oh, this makes me think of French Country...and golden delicious apples!  Okay, maybe our field trip to Davison Orchard last week helped with that! LOL  I found some beautiful blue and white patterned paper in my stash and stamped some golden delicious (or Aurora) apples to make a clean and layered teacher card that makes my soul sing.  Head over to The Card Concept blog to see all the different interpretations from the Design Team then join in the fun!  Thanks so much for popping by:)

Enjoy!

Hello friends!   Yes, I'm still alive!  I've come out of a restful, fun summer and wondered where my mojo went!?  Nothing like a fun new challenge over at The Card Concept challenge blog to get the juices flowing again :)  To start our fall inspiration is this darling photo:

 I think this style is vintage layered...that sounds about right and it was the vibe I was feeling as I created my first card in over a month.  I sure hope that changes!  Head over to The Card Concept blog to see all the different interpretations from the Design Team then join in the fun!  Thanks so much for popping by:)
