Ok, I will admit it. I LOVE pens. Always have and always will. I have more pens than I would need in three lifetimes but does that stop me from buying more? Umm . . . . . no! My husband travels a lot and he always brings new pens home for me. He knows that a new pen will bring a smile to my face. I love paper too and he brings me notepads, but that is for another day. 🙂
That brings me to my newest pen find – Project Life by Stampin’ Up! journaling pens!!! I’ve been working on a Project Life scrapbook and bought these to do my journaling. Well, they aren’t just for scrapbooks! I’ve starting using them for writing inside cards, in my note-taking journal . . . . They come in two widths, but both are fine tip.
Trust me, if you are a pen lover, like me, you will love these pens!!
Thank you for stopping by! Enjoy the long weekend!

At Convention in July, I was able to play with the new stamp set, Wondrous Wreath and the matching Wonderful Wreath Framelit Dies. When I first saw the stamp, I thought that I would hold off on purchasing it. Playing with it totally turned my thinking around and I bought it at Convention. This set makes it so easy to create a beautiful card. Watch the video below to see the stamp set and Framelit in action (you’ll see two cute cards at the end too)!!
Enjoy the rest of your day and thank you for stopping by!!

I wanted a card to send to a friend to let her know that I’m thinking of her and this is the card I made. She’s gone through some difficulties these past few weeks so I hope this little guy brings a smile to her face.
Is there someone that you know who could use a handmade card to brighten their day?

My husband and I needed to send a thank you card last week and this is what I made. I used the stamp set, Regarding Dahlias. I’ve had this stamp set for months but just never used it. I wish I had picked it up sooner!
Ready to know how I made my card? First, I stamped the image on the top left using Blackberry Bliss, one of our new In Colors. Then I stamped it again in the lower right hand corner. On a separate piece of Whisper White, I stamped the flower again 3 times.
With my paper snips, I completely cut out one of these flowers. I’ll be the first to admit that this can be tedious but it is worth it for the end product! Using the second stamped flower I cut out a medium sized flower shape. On the last stamped flower, I cut out a small sized flower shape. As there is no defined area, you just need to decide what petals you want to include when you cut it out. I used dimensionals to layer the flower pieces and then used snail adhesive to attach the entire flower to my card.
I definitely want to make this card using different colors. I’ve also been wondering how it would look to use two colors instead of just one!
Thank you for stopping by today!

One more flower card using the NEW Sweetheart (heart) punch! I used all of the same products that were used on my cards yesterday but changed my cardstock to Hello Honey! (Yesterday I forgot to add the Large Oval and Scallop Oval to my list of products but they are included today).
Thank you for stopping by today!
