Good morning!  
It's time to focus on some "peeps"!!  Jilda designed this adorable card using our Texana Designs Jam'n Bird 3 and From one "peep" to another" stamps.  As earlier stated, Jilda loves (actually, we all do) die-namics and regularly uses their dies on her Texana Designs cards.  This card is so bright and happy.  One can't help but smile while chickin' it out!!
Thank you, Jilda!

A week of Sunflowers! Day 4.

Good morning!
Well, what can I say!  The rain didn't happen here again yesterday.
But, I'm confident it will happen today because we are moving Kenny,our son, to an apartment!

I love to look at this card by Design Team Member Megan Bickers!  The colors are so rich and the button and ribbon embellishments add such a nice touch to the card - not to mention the watermarked background.  Once again, this team has accomplishment my intended goal of showing how versatile our stamps can be!
Thanks, Megan!

A week of Sunflowers! Day 3.

Good morning!
  Well, we didn't get the rain yesterday, but it looks like some is on the way this morning!


   Have you noticed that Janet never makes one card?  I wish I had her motivation!  Next best thing, I have her on the Design Team!  Woo!
   Janet's cards using the Jam'n Sunflower stamp and sentiments (happy birthday, I appreciate you! and thank you) are soooooo colorful and uniquely paper-pieced.  Now I know how to use my big flowers that have been sitting on my shelf for way too long.  I love these sassy cards!  Thanks, Janet!

Time for some Sunflowers!

Good  morning!


I've been seeing a variety of sunflowers around Central Texas the past couple of weeks and it just so happens that Joyce's Jam'n Sunflower stamp is what's happening at Texana Designs!  The Design Team sent me some pretty amazing sunflower cards and I'll be posting them all this week.  Today's card design is by Design Team Member Jilda Bolton.  I always love to see what colors Jilda will use with her cards and this one is pretty outstanding.  I have this EK Success Plaid border punch and was wondering how best to use it.  Now I know!
Thank you, Jilda!  Love this card!
