… like Kelli Crowe or Elsie or others. I LOVE to doodle, but am not great at it. So when CK asked me to do a page on which I did something I never do, doodling was perfect to try. Thought I would share it here, although I did it a year or so ago… [...]

How-To Video: Embellishing Scalloped Edges
Hello, stampers and scrapbookers… Another simple video for you. It is another card (sorry… I will get back to scrapbooking soon) with a good basic design that would work for anything. Just change up the colors and greetings. Use up some of your scraps. You could even make a set of these as a gift. [...]
Prayers are needed for my Music Man.. and a card
Hi! When we were in St. John, we got some sad news from Keith. (Keith is my brother-in-law whose music I use in my videos. He and his family are missionaries in Africa.) His father, who has been battling cancer, was only expected to make it through the night. The next day, their family of [...]
Some answers and a card…
Hi! Just a quick post to answer some questions and share a card. I have gotten a lot of emails and comments about where we stayed at St. John. St. John is very pristine – no huge hotels or chain restaurants. Not even a stop light on the island. 2/3rds of the island is a [...]
How-To Video: Fish Card
Hi! Have a video for you… This card I made using the scraps from the butterfly card HERE. No fabulous technique or idea here – just some fun twists on using punches on a fun card for no good reason. Supplies: Hero Arts stamps (background, fish and greeting), notecards and black gem Black Memories [...]
Home!
Whew! Home. Finally! It takes about 17 hours to get from your villa in St. John to our doorstep back home. What a long day. But we had a fabulous trip. Just wanted to jump in to say I will be back to posting a lot tonight. Turns out internet on the island was harder [...]
The card to go with the page… and a giveaway!
Back to that old saying of mine: "Every time you make a page, go ahead and make a matching card." Might as well since you have the stuff out! This is the card to go with the page I did for 2Peas using Close To My Heart products. CTMH is wonderful – they make high [...]
Hello from the islands…
Hi! We are here in St. John having a good ol' time. Thought I would share a layout I did with lots of pictures. This isn't the island we are on now, but I just stumbled on it on my computer. This layout shows two things I love tons: a large photo and a series [...]
Never a normal card…
For some strange reason, I rarely send a "normal" card. One that just opens regularly – a simple folded piece of cardstock. Instead, I like to have things that pop up, pull out or simply do something different. Funny thing: Awhile back when I visited my 100-year old Grandma, I noticed that many of the [...]
We have a winner!
Hi! We have a winner for the kraft paper… Melissa from Miami, FL! I will email you. Thanks for all the comments. Wow… it amazes me the amazing places you all live. We are leaving today for a trip to St. John with the kids and Ken's parents. Can't wait! Thankfully, we have people staying [...]
