It is Chris' 40th birthday and here is the card I put together for him to give him a hint at his gift this year - tickets to watch the Bluejays on July 1!

 Ok, I have appreciated Steamboat Willie for a long time now, but after visiting Disneyland, this stamp set was a MUST! 

 Father's Day is two weeks away! Here are some simple plantable cards I made up to try out the new-to-me Robin & Wren set from The Greetery.

 My UVic reading course started up this week and I wanted to make some welcome cards for my students. I was feeling very uninspired with the supplies I had, so my crafty friend Tammy lent me some fun supplies to play with!

 Today was an exciting day in our house - it was Harvey's first day of kindergarten! I made up a card for him along with some extras for him to give to all of his little friends who were off to kindergarten today, too :).

 I was asked to create a card for someone who is switching jobs this month. The card was to be larger and I knew that I wanted to use the beautiful Print Shop: Spring Mix from The Greetery for the card.

 My reading course is beginning again this semester, and though we were planning to be in person, we were required to pivot at the last minute to online learning. I am hopeful we will be in person soon! In the meantime, I was able to put together these simple cards to welcome each student to our course.

I knew that I wanted to include a book somehow and some nature element on this card. You can see the cards I designed last year for the course here. I used the open book this time from Den Sweet Den and coloured it with my favourite Tombow marker colour. I decided to pull out my Lawn Fawn Stitched Woodgrain Backdrop die and emboss it onto a heart shape from Close To My Heart.

I added in a scripty 'welcome' sign from Little Bundle to complete the card.

Paper: Solar White (Neenah); Kraft (Lawn Fawn); Coldpress watercolour paper (Canson)

 I got the PinkFresh Studio Skiing By set especially to make some cards to sell in Kimberley. I had been planning on being in a makers market this fall but with that having fell through, I focused on making some skiing themed cards for Fullfill.

When I first saw some of Pigment Craft Co.'s holiday release, I could not get the Treemendous Bough out of my mind. It was so beautiful and detailed with the layered stamps...it was a NEED for my Christmas stash!
