Today our church ladies are hosting an all day gathering for about 50 women.  I had volunteered to make table favors for all the ladies expected to attend.  I decided on an index style card with a Bible verse on it.  Of course it had to have ribbon, flowers and bling.  Each card was encased in its […]

Today I have two monogrammed wedding cards to share — each very different from the other.  And there’s a little story behind each, as to the how and why of the design.  And as different as they are, the same Kaisercraft paper pad was used for both cards.  Here’s the first:   This card came […]

Hi!  I’m back with the project I peeked this morning!  Finally got those photos done!  Again, this project fits in with today’s theme of using background stamps to create fun and easy monogram projects.  I went with a sewing theme for this project.  This is a 5 x 7 piece to be used as sewing […]
