What does Snowballs and Toothache medicine have in common?


You got it! Tiny little snowballs to use on your cards! They pack these little boxes full of these little cotton balls and I have found they are perfect for using as snowballs! I think this box was in my mothers medicine cabinet for 10 years and I have saved it at least another 10 or so years, I'm a craft supply hoarder, I  knew I might use these for something one day! :D

Simple Holiday Card 3


For this simple card I followed a card I had found on Pinterest for inspiration and created a holiday card in mostly shades of red but added a little holiday green on the back of the sentiment.

The second card I made in a set of 5 just like it today was this beautiful holiday card in shades of blue. I kind of took this card from Pinterest for inspiration and it is almost exactly like the card I used for my inspiration. It was quick and easy plus I used up more scraps!


Simple Holiday Card 1

Decorating Postal Box


I finished my cards for the Anysoldier Fall themed card swap on Facebook and decided I need a festive box to send my assortment of cards to my designated soldiers unit. Using the same color of cardstock paper used in the cards I made to swap with the other group members I made colorful panels that I will be decorating with stamps, bats and halloween related goodies.

Flower Beauty


I decided to make this card for the Digistamps4Joy Anything Goes challenge with the twist of Spring. When I think of Spring, I think of flowers, weddings, and green grass. In my card I have the flowers, the green for the grass, and the wedding tulle with pearls to accent the corners. 

House Mouse July 4th Holiday


I just love House Mouse stamps, don't you?
