Happy St. Patrick's Day

My Birdies Are Back

A huge flock of Canadian Geese flew over my house honking the whole time. It was so loud you couldn’t help but notice how many there were. It must be almost spring!! Another sign, and one that I prefer, is that all sorts of birds have returned from their winter down south and are coming to my feeder.

Cheery Greetings

Are you tired of winter and counting the days until spring? This can be the time of year when we start getting some warmer, sunny days and really start to feel like spring might be coming soon. Winter can be long and cold, so a card with a cheery greeting can be just the thing to lift our spirits and give us some sunny spring thoughts.

For The Kid In Us

Regardless of your age, it is tough to deny how cute some of our animal stamps and images are. Cute animals have a way of taking us back to our childhood, and bringing out the aaaawwwww factor!

Masculine Birthday With Mountain Air

Remember I mentioned I was having fun playing with the Mountain Air stamp set? There is so much you can do with this stamp set, using the front or the ‘back’ of the reversible stamps.

Especially For You

I have been playing with the wonderful Mountain Air stamp set. This is a great set that has reversible stamps. One side stamps the details of the image, and the other provides solid shading.

Isn't That Fancy

If you know me, you know that I never send a card with a ‘naked’ envelope! I love to add a little stamp to the bottom left corner on the front my envelope. It just adds that little extra touch. Today I decided to go fancy on the back of some envelopes.

I have a bit of a rule with my stamping and card making. It is kind of a sad rule, but it is an important one.
