Welcome to my blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog. As the title suggests, I love to scrapbook, stamp, and sing! I will share cards and scrapbook pages I create, as well as information about my music - Barbershop harmony.

Spaced Thanks!

TGIF everyone! Quick post with my card for Craft Roulette #272 which I watched live tonight and created during the show:


Supplies: Paper - Recollections Coffee & Cream;
Tim Holtz Idealogy Menagerie; 
Antiqued Parchment from Hobby Lobby
Stamps - My Favorite Things Vanity License Plate Alphabet
Stamps w/dies & stencils - Pinkfresh Studio 
Blooming Grace: stamps/dies/stencils
Other - Paper Studio gems

Host Mary had Christine Bertram (@CardsbyChristineB) who was making her 12th appearance on the show. Christine does Stampin' Up and teaches a lot of free online classes. As usual, the roulette wheel was spun four times for the parameters we had to use:


  • Project - Thank You Card: I created an A7 card with the word THANKS.
  • Colors - Flying Kites: Kites are any color so I just used stuff to hand.
  • Element - Space: In the chat people mentioned spacing the letters so I did that & put a gem between them.
  • Random - High Falutin' Paper: I used some parchment to mat the sentiment.

I started with the sentiment, taking an alphabet stamp set and stamping out the word THANKS, spacing the letters. Trimmed the strip and matted on a piece of parchment paper for my fancy stuff. Formed an A7 ivory card and added a mat layer of TH menagerie paper, then my sentiment. Added gems between the letters. What else to add?? I took an extra flower spray I'd stamped and stenciled for a previous card, cut it in half & added to either side of the sentiment. Done!

That's it for today; I'm attending the CR after party on Zoom. Will be back tomorrow with my usual Diva post. Thanks for stopping!!
