Cards, cards, everywhere there's cards..I can't imagine ever stopping something that brings me such joy and hopefully shares some with others too. These are from sessions in summer 2010.

A Few Summer Sessions

Cards belong in groups. Seriously, it's not often you see lonely cards all by themselves--they're sold in groups, they arrive in groups, and it just seems right to create them in groups.

My tools and supplies are sorted and my life is so much simpler and joyfully organized. The cards seem to just fly out the studio this summer. I am so grateful.

Sit back, watch the slide show and then get moving on your own card sessions. Enjoy.

Make Something of It tip

Revive old stamps and old techniques with fresh new touches and combinations. Some of the papers, tools, and embellishments, shown here are over five years old but seem fresh again when combined with a few newer tools and stamps.
