Gotham City Stampers

I told you that day was jam-packed with TONS of fun!!! AND–this Swirlydoos Kit was jammed with scrappy goodness! I used it on these layouts and STILL have tons of things left for even more holiday scrapbooking. Don’t you just love how Reghan is lighting up in these pictures? Did you notice the one black [...]

That day in the city was one of my all time favorite days! We laughed and smiled and just enjoyed being together. I used that same Swirlydoos Kit from yesterday’s post. This time, I really wanted to pictures to speak for themselves so I added a few embellishments here and there.  The kit had four [...]

Yep, you guessed it–my sisters, brother-in-law and Sweet Reghan came to NYC to visit Marty & I a week before Christmas. We had only a few hours together but managed to pack them FULL of sightseeing activities. These pictures were taken at a favorite eating spot of ours, Ellen’s Stardust Diner, where the waitstaff sings [...]

A few cards that I made for this past holiday season… Tweet

I hope you and your family is having a fabulous holiday season! I was fortunate to be invited to teach a holiday class to a group of fairly new artists in Lower Manhattan. We made basic tags and cards. This tag is one that I made with the group. I was inspired by a similar [...]

Today’s Swirlydoos Tag Challenge was to do a holiday tag and include the name of the person that would be getting the tag. I tossed around a few people in my head and thought it would be fun AND a challenge to do a tag to celebrate my niece’s first Christmas. Elise is a special [...]

Today’s tag challenge on the Swirlydoos blog is to make a tag using TINSEL! (how fun) I couldn’t believe it when I found this trim that looks like tinsel that you would find on your Christmas tree! I had so much fun making this tag. I did a neat embossing and stamping technique that Tim [...]

This is another tag for the fun Holiday Tag Challenge happening on the Swirlydoos Blog! This time I used the December Swirlydoos Kit. The glitter is from Stampin’ Up! (beautiful) The Sant charm is a Shrinky Dink that I stamped and colored with colored pencil. It was made on Bright White plastic and was a [...]

I had so much fun making this card. I LOVE my Cricut but sometimes forget about using it when I am creating cards. For this card, I cut a very feminine ice skater tag from Chocolate Brown cardstock. I added some shimmer with my homemade “Shimmer Mist”. I love this paper with the music notes, [...]
