Its our Wedding Anniversary today! Twenty four years ago today we got married. The sun shone then too. It was a beautiful day surrounded by friends and family.

Jar of Love – Happy Anniversary Shaker Card!
Bike Ride!
I just love the bicycle in this stamp set. It reminds me of the bike I had when I was a student nurse many years ago and I had to cycle to work. Good memories. Everyone who attended the last Stampin Up convention in Amsterdam was gifted this stamp set. Very appropriate and makes me think of the many bicycles we saw whizzing about. This set has so many images included in it so that you can change it up easily and use It for all sorts of occasions. For this card I ... VIEW POST
Enjoy The Little Things!

It never gets old! ... VIEW POST

Stampin 101. How to cut bases and layers for your cards featuring This Little Piggy!
How cute are these little fellas? This card is just here to make the blog post look pretty! 😃 and is an example to show you how I cut my card bases and layers. Something I had to find out for myself when I started card making. I always use the same measurements to cut my card bases. I like to make a standard size card that fits one of the standard size Stampin Up envelopes. I love those envelopes. I used to think that all envelopes were much the same until I started using them. Now ... VIEW POST
