Get to know June....


I am a work-at-home mom to two beautiful 9yo fraternal twin girls both of whom are diagnosed with Autism. I have been married to my college sweetheart, Doug, for over 20 years. We also have a 21yo cat name Skeeziks, who is the sweetest furry girl. I am an avid card-maker with a paper addiction. If there were a show on paper crafting hoarders, I would probably be on it!

For my "With Sympathy" card, I stamped and embossed the daisies on Graphic 45 "butterfly kisses from the Once Upon a Springtime colletion. Both stamps are by Stampin'Up! I added hot rocks by Imaginisce under the sentiment and on top of the black velour daisy trim.

For my "Absolutely Fabulous" card. I stamped and embossed the shoe (My Sentiments Exactly! stamp) on black card stock. I fussy cut it out and popped it up with foam tape. I cut my nested circles using my Cricut "Accent Essentials" cartridge. My papers are "Modern Homemaker" by October Afternoon that I purchased from The Pixie Shop
