Slice of Happiness
Check out this delightful (or maybe I should say yummy) slice of pizza card. This card was made by Elizabeth for our Team Card swap this month. Pretty awesome, right?

Thrill Ride
Here’s a card designed and taught to us last weekend at our Team Celebration by Deanna.

Today with the start of Summer I thought I’d share a layout designed by one of my team members, Carrie, which I think showcases a great summer combo of colors! It uses our Stardust Paper which has a nice mix of Moonstruck, Honey and Topiary colors. It’s a nice gender neutral layout too so I … Read more Welcome Summer!
Happy Daddy’s Day!
Thought I’d share a little artwork from a younger age group today. Here are the darling frames that my 3-year-old dynamic duo painted for their daddy…. Lucas’ frame. Total boy, right? The idea was to use one paint color but after starting with the brown, he decided he needed a little green too. And surprisingly … Read more Happy Daddy’s Day!

So last night I googled some recipes and chose one that sounded like a winner. The swirl effect didn’t turn out … Read more Life is Good
