Hi! I'm so glad you came by to visit! I am married with two children in their 20's and two crazy furry kitties. I love to create - and especially cards! My Mom’s creativity always amazed me. When she was sick, I saw how much it meant to her to receive cards of encouragement. The love Mom felt from all the cards received lead me to sharing my cards with people I know. My love of card making has led me to creating this blog. When I'm not in my craft room with my silly kitties (who think they protect me) you will find me out in my garden. If you see something you like or want a card made for you, drop me a note. I would love to hear from you! ~Kate

Another trip around the sun!

Happiest of birthdays to a dear friend who is my cohort in crafting. She is very dear to me and we share our love of cardmaking and Stamps of Life! Happy Birthday April!! Recent wildfires in Australia had me thinking about all the animals lost-one of which was the koala bears. That was the inspiration for this card.

Stamps of life products used: Koala pudgie stamp and die set, Heart stencil, twine and embellishments.

Who doesn’t love a cup of hot chocolate?

I’ve had a few friends that had mishaps in the last couple weeks. I created this card to send some get well wishes.
