First Birthday Card of the Year

Tomorrow is our friend Chuck's Birthday. He's 76 years old and I think this will make him long for spring. He is an avid golfer and this reminds me of a spot on the golf course. I hope he likes it. I cased this card from Julie Buhler and her blog is Paper Pleasing Ideas I love the blogging world and all the sharing that takes place. I wouldn't know half of what I know about stamping if it wasn't for all the wonderful stampers out there sharing all their great ideas and projects.

Happy New Year to everyone of my readers and I wish all the best for each of you in 2012

Halloween Zindorf Style

Several weeks ago we had a chance to go visit our daughter who lives in Nashville. We had great fun and I gave her the card found here. My son lives in Maryland going to othe university of MD there so I needed a scary card to send him.

This is my interpretation of the card by Michelle Zindorf. She gives the entire tutorial for making a similar card called "Going Batty" I just adapted it to the stamps I have.

By the way the previous post which can be found here won me a spot in the Stamping 411 Operator's pick's stampers showcase. It's always so encouraging to get selected and also to read the comments that are left on my blog. I read and reread them, they mean so much to me. I appreciate every single one of you who takes the time to comment. So thank you so much. 

Happy Halloween and thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.

The Lone Tree

When I make a card that is designed by Michelle Zindorf I feel like a real artist. She is so talented and shares her tutorials with everyone so I occassionally make one of her cards. It always gets ooowws and aaaahhhs when I give it away. Saturday my son will turn 30 years old, don't ask me where the time has gone, but he will receive this for his birthday card with a nice surprise inside. He is an artist so I hope he enjoys this a great deal.

Actually you may think that this is a complicated, long process to get this card done but it took me about 15 minutes to complete. Here is the link to the tutorial. Give it a try and you may surprise yourself.
