This is a card I made for my little granddaughter, Jade, some time ago. Even though I couldn’t get things on my blog, I could still make cards!
This was an experiment in using paper from one paper pack rather than a number of different paper sources to simplify my process. After all, the designers make all the papers in one pack to coordinate with one another so why strain my brain if I don’t have to? Continue reading
I’ve always loved doing the challenges at MOJO Monday (www.mojomonday.blogspot.com) so, with my effort to get back into the swing of things, I looked them up and this is the result. I made the card instead of eating dinner so I have plenty of time to get this entered before the end of the challenge at 12 p.m. EST tonight.
Here is the sketch I followed: Continue reading

It has happened again!! I won another roll of that beautiful silk ribbon from May Arts with my entry into their December Christmas Challenge! This time I asked for a roll of their deep pink silk ribbon; almost 33 yards of the stuff; a value of about $45… Winning it is a very luxurious experience, I must say.
There is a larger view in the original post. Take a look and let me know you are still out there! I love hearing from you!!
This is my submission for the “All That Glitters” Challenge by May Arts.May Arts has the most beautiful selection of ribbons and they provide you with the ribbon to use for their challenge. I am particularly in love with their silk ribbons. Gorgeous colors and wonderful drape which allow me to make really wonderful bows. Continue reading
You know that umbrella card two blogs down? Well, I didn’t win the #1 spot but I did place among the winners!! I won an entire ROLL of silk ribbon. And how I love silk ribbon!! Well, I think I’ve made that perfectly clear by now, right? I got the 1.25 inch wide in cream…. yards and yards and yards of it!! Happy girl!
For whatever reason, I had a difficult time with this card… I think it might be the weather; rainy and grey. But after a few struggles, I think I got pretty cheery and felt it come together for me.
This is for the Mojo Monday Challenge Continue reading
May Arts sells some of the most beautiful ribbon ever!! My favorite is their silk ribbon (which can be tricky to find even on-line). So, when they came up with a challenge where they would actually send you the ribbon to do their challenge, I was right on it!!
You had to send them a written proposal of what you would make and, if they liked your idea, they would send you 2-yard-lengths of your choice of 4 different silk ribbons. The number of challengers would be limited to 25.
Lo and behold, I got a package with silk ribbon in it a week or so later and wondered when in the world I had ordered it. I couldn’t find an invoice and was still puzzled when it finally dawned on me that my idea had been one of those chosen and here were the ribbons for it!!! Continue reading
This is my revised edition of the tag. In case you missed my first post, there is a photo at the end of this blog of the original. And I know this means you got two emails… sorry!!

I just had to do it; I had to brag a little and, actually, it is just a little thing to brag about.
The Shabby Tea Room Challenge has 4 top winners (NOT a random drawing on this one) and 10 Honorable Mentions. I was one of the Honorable Mentions for the card shown here. Best of all, one of my all time favorite designers, Andrea Ewen, was also an Honorable Mention. To be on a list of creative talent with her is an even greater bit of excitement!!
Here is Andrea’s card (www.ewenstyle.com): 
With talent like Andrea’s, you can see what I’m up against in the paper crafting world!
Blessings & Hugs, ya’ll!!
