Ok, so it's not Easter just yet, but seeing as we're in the middle of Lent, we know it's fast approaching! I have already made a few Easter cards and hoped to inspire you to do the same.

Easter Already?!

Thinking of You
Here is one of my latest fun-fold card layouts... I've done it before on some cowboy-themed cards (those were made 2 years ago, but they're only 2 posts down - ha ha!!). As you can see, I still enjoy it! It's a great way to use up some Designer Series Paper.
I had a blast doing the coloring on these. So therapeutic. Sorry for not snapping the photo before I wrote in it... but you get the idea! (and, for the record, my nickname is Miki).

Hello!
...it's been a long time - a VERY long time! But isn't that just the greatest thing about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator? I have remained active all this time, just haven't done much "publicly"... and then COVID happened. But perhaps it's because of COVID that I'm wanting to ramp things up again?! A global pandemic somehow inspires one to get creative. Blessings do come in strange ways!
Anyway, I am still here... and I've reinstated my Business Website so you can easily find out about the current special offers and shop. The link is on the top menu bar - "Shop Now".
Let me know if you're still here - leave a comment below, or drop me a line! I'd love to hear what types of things y'all would like me to post these days. Be as specific as you'd like... Do you want just photos (no text)? cards for special occasions? things other than cards? tool reviews? Anything goes... well, almost!
In the meantime, hug your kids, hug your spouse, and hug yourself!!
We'll chat again soon!

For the Men
It's great to have a stash of cards all ready to be sent to the men in our lives!

OnStage 2019
But, I've never, ever lost my love for Stampin' Up! (nor will I ever!) and I've managed to hold a couple of workshops already this year! I'm hoping to add more offerings to my calendar and ramp things up a bit. I even made it to OnStage in Salt Lake this weekend and had a wonderful time. I ran into these two familiar faces while there:
Recognize them? Yep - Donna Griffith and Pam Morgan!
Okay, so I totally give you permission to hold me accountable to posting more often. If you haven't heard from me in awhile, drop me a line and give me heck about it!
Stampin' hugs to all!

Graduations Galore!

Mother's Day 2018
Here are the cards I sent to the moms in my life... I used a new set that will be available in just a few short weeks! It's called Varied Vases. Such fun! The sentiment on the front came from another upcoming set called Itty Bitty Greetings.
It's fun to play with new toys... especially when those new toys involve paper and ink!
Enjoy your week!

Apologies
On this next one, I went back over the top of the letters with the same color marker to make it darker and more interesting:
Do you have some sorry cards in your stash?
Happy stamping!

PS (5/14/18): Here's another one I had to make...

Graduation Time
That's a start - I'll just keep using up some DSP, both new and old, and pop these cards in the mail lickety-split! How many graduation cards do you think YOU'LL have to make this year?!
Happy stamping!

Getting Back in the Groove!
I used a combination of watercolor pencils and Stampin’ Blends to get some subtle color with touches of vibrant color. Everything is Stampin’ Up! except the paper clip... I found those at a shop in Berlin while I was there a few weeks ago visiting my son. I thought they were just so cute and they’re partly the reason I’m stamping again, so I hoped you’d forgive me!

Ghosting
That was the first one I made... and then I just kept on going!

For My Dad
He received it over the weekend and said that it brought tears to his eyes... probably from the sentiment inside:
Such a beautiful stamp set!
Hugs,

Happy Valentine's Day!
I love the all-pink balloon with the one red stripe. Here's the left part of the inside:
In what I wrote, I told her I know her husband is raining down hugs and kisses on her, so I punched out some tiny hearts from the heart border punch and put them in a little bag attached to the "note" explaining that the note tells her to toss them in the air so they'll rain down on her!
Now, here are the cards I made for my favorite Valentines... my husband and children!
First, my boys:
