Aloha, all! I recently saw a group of cards made with a window on the front of the card through which I looked at at image that’s on the inside of a card. These cards had one or two layers on the card front and looked easy enough to make. So off I went to… [Read More]

An Overlooked Flower and a Design Hint!
Aloha, all! Last week I shared a few cards that I’d made using the main image in the FREE Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set, Lovely Lattice. That bunch of flowers against a lacy, lattice-like design has become one of the most favored items in this year’s Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-Bration Brochure. But there are two other stamps in that set,… [Read More]
Soft Suede to the Rescue!
Aloha, all! Finally, earlier this week, our new furniture arrived. Hooray, I am no longer living out of a suitcase!

2018: A Year of New Beginnings!
Aloha, all! I’m back! I couldn’t decide whether to put a period or an exclamation point on that first sentence. After thinking about it for only a short while, I chose the exclamation point because it is a very positive exclamation by me. I’m looking ahead and am excited about what the future will bring… [Read More]
Suite Fun!
Aloha, all! Back when I first saw the Stampin’ Up! 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, I immediately fell in love with the Tropical Escape Suite of Products. It reminded me so much of our garden, and I could hardly wait to get my hands on it. As you might imagine, after what transpired in early May as the lava… [Read More]
