Do you like interactive cards? I have some birthdays coming up for my grandsons so I’m ahead of myself this year! They are growing up far too quickly for my liking, and cute images like this won’t resonate with them for much longer as their tastes change and they develop more sophisticated tastes!

“Heartfelt” Valentine
Happy Valentine’s Day to those who are lucky enough to celebrate with their Valentine, and for those who are unable to through time, distance or location or if they’re angels in heaven, we will remember them too.

Heart to Heart Bundle
I like a bit of variety, don’t you? Sometimes going back to basics is the way to go, as was the case with this card. The die just speaks for itself, so I let it and kept it simple. The adhesive sheets which Stampin’ Up! retired has been my most “go to” product, especially when […]

What? Sunday again? Where oh where does the time go? This whispy “New Wonders” stamp set is a host set which cannot be purchased but can be earned through hosting a workshop. If truth be known, every year I get stumped trying to think of something for twins on their birthdays. I’m not sure if […]
