This card looked better in my mind than it ended up in reality. However, it still turned out nicely, I think. Especially since I utilized two new techniques I’d never done before. One was creating my own print & cut for my Silhouette Cameo (for the text on the front). And the other… was because this is a MUSICAL card! Wh [...]

Halloween glass block light I bought one of the glass blocks that already has the opening in the bottom.  I got mine at Hobby Lobby but Michael’s has them too.  I added some white lights that you can buy pretty much anywhere during the holiday season.

The first annual “Mother’s Birthday Luncheon”
My mother passed away two month shy of her 95th birthday.  I didn’t want to be sad that day, so I decided to invite a few girlfriends over for lunch.   I had recently been to an event where they had the cutest cupcakes… (It looks kind of smashed because this was one I’d smuggled out in a napkin.)
