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

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.

Here is a second card I made from the same stamp set-hotchocolate2stamp

Are you excited to see 2020?

However you celebrate NYE-you just can’t skip the excitement surrounding a new year. After Christmas I just wasn’t done with my holiday cards. I created this card for Christmas and then updated it to share with my neighbors to bring some New Year cheer! Be safe and Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉

Happy 22nd birthday!

My baby’s birthday is 12/21 and we do our best to celebrate it in non-holiday fashion. This year was the opening of the CATS movie followed by a visit to Mac Tabby Cafe-where we get to pet and play with adorable kitties that are waiting to be adopted. In the hustle and bustle of Alanna’s college graduation on 12/14 and all the celebrating, I didn’t have time to make her card. Yes! Alanna got a card (with a llama on it) with her presents but not one I made special for her. Today I had time to create her card-so here is her 22nd birthday card. Note: Alannas favorite color is red. ❤️❤️❤️The Stamps of Life products used are:
