Good afternoon,
A few blogs ago I told you that one of my cards will be featured as the winning entry for the magazine MagnoliaInk.
I didn't want to post my card until after the September issue came out.
ITS HERE!

This is  a criss cross card.

I hope you like it.  Love Linda

Hi Ladies,
IT' s  September.  I can't believe how my time feels like it is crawling but then another month is here.
I have been working with a ladies group home teaching them simple crafts.  I wanted to share with you what they have done these past months. 
The banner was one that each lady had a letter and had to decorate their own part.  I hope you like what they have done.

Good morning,  Gals are always asking where I find some of my inspirations.  This shirt that my Daughter wore was one. 

The blue card front I have here is one ,I saw on a ladies dress one day when I was out for lunch.

Always look around you for thoughts, ideas and colors.

The beauty is all around us.

Have a great weekend.

Love Linda

Its Wedsday, Hi all.  I just had a nice visit with a dear long time friend , having coffee. 
I just wanted to post one of my newest cards.  This stamp is one of my favorites from Hero Arts.  I bought it at my special Island Scrapbook store when Dan and I were in Hilo. 
The tecnique was one I saw and it is using Spellbinders Nestabilities.  It give a cute look to the card.
I hope everyone is enjoying the rainy day. Love Linda

Hi everyone.
I know it has been a long time since my last post.  After my husband Dan died in April I don't think I have accomplished alot of stamping.
Now is is June and lots of birthdays and our son's wedding I'm back.
It has been a real adjustment for me but Stamping is something that helps me stay grounded.
I hope you enjoy my latest cards.

Love Linda
