Well Christmas has come and gone in a whirlwind.  I don’t know about you, but it seems this Season comes and goes faster each year.  I was given gifts from family and friends and can’t wait to thank each of them for their thoughtful and welcomed gifts.  
I created a fast and easy card, since I have quite a few to write.  I have decided to just make a card front and slip it in an envelope for speed.  Here is a cheery Spring colored card.  I decided to put the leftover Christmas paper away.  [Read more…] about Thank You Butterfly Gala

I have had several of my friends with December birthdays.  Do you have some December birthdays in your circle of family and friends?  
I chose one of our new upcoming stamp sets to make this colorful birthday tag.  It’s called Amazing Life.  There are so many wonderful stamps in this set. Besides this pretty cake, there are numerous sayings. Some are words of encouragement like “I believe in You”, “You Are Amazing”, “Good Luck” and of course “Happy Birthday”.  
I have created a simple tag to add to any birthday gift or bag. It’s so colorful and fun.  I hope she likes it. [Read more…] about Amazing Life Birthday Tag
