A Reflection
I don’t know about you, but September rolls around faster every year for me. When the kids go back to school, I like to take time to reflect about the summer and plan toward the holidays that I know will sneak up on me. This year, however, school started in August, so I’m a bit [...]

Reflections: Favorite moments
Finished card size: 5.5” x 4.125 As I reflect back on my life one of my favorite moments in time is the music from the 50’s. I guess I’m dating my age at this point, but who cares! I love to dance and this music has stayed with me all this time and I still [...]

Reflections: Point of View
Finished Plaque Size – 7.5″ x 9″ I was so excited by this month’s theme…Reflections. I know there are many ways to interpret “reflections” but the first thing that came to mind was water. Reflections on water are not always what they seem and as it turned out I had a stamp sentiment that I [...]
Reflections: A digital creation
Pull up a chair and sit a short spell. This is a very quick creation. I love taking photographs of my garden flowers especially when the roses are kissed with raindrops. I also have found that the Xyron Create a sticker is a must have. I can’t tell you enough how awesome it is to [...]

Christmas in August: day 5
Here are my cards for May and July. If you’ve read all my posts, you might remember that I knew from the start I wouldn’t be making any cards in June—it’s all about flexibility. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my holiday cards and hope I’ve inspired you to try this handy tip as well. Stamp [...]
Christmas in August: day 4
Here’s my April card. A couple of years ago I did another thing that simplifies my card sending process. I entered my Christmas card addresses into the computer and print them out on Avery labels. Not having to hand write all those addresses is a huge time saver. Self stick envelopes are great, too! Stamp [...]
Christmas in August: day 3
Here’s my March card. For those of you wondering about what I put on the inside—I haven’t put anything there yet. I will probably choose a single sentiment and use it on all the cards after I’m finished. Stamp credits: Stamper’s Anonymous, Tim Holtz collection and Flourishes (music)

So, if you haven’t started yet, get those Christmas supplies out. You’ll be glad you did come December [...]
Linda’s View – August Trail Map
Artist’s Note: This month’s sketch reminded me of a flap on top of the front of a card, so that’s what I did. The outside stamp is a background stamp by Magenta; and the flower on the inside is by Savvy Stamps. Images were stamped and then foiled.
