For the first time in a long time, I didn’t preorder the sneak peek products – the Summer Smooches Suite. I know, I know… if you get the perk as a demonstrator to get to see and order them early, why wouldn’t you? I guess I was indecisive about what I wanted but I knew…

Stampin’ Up! just added more goodies to the clearance section of the online store and you can get some great deals on items from the past holiday mini as well as punches and past Sale-a-Bration accessories!

Happy Easter weekend everyone! I hope you have sunshine and wonderful events planned with family and friends this holiday weekend. Today we are getting ready to go out for egg hunts and coloring some eggs at home with family. But before we head out, I wanted to share the first eggs I colored this year…….
So, I recently reorganized my craft room yet again. I’ve been fine tuning it for efficiency for how I find I craft in my space. Well, after the last clean up, I realized I had a ton of useful looking scraps lying around on my table. Now, normally I brush them into a pile and…
It may be April Fool’s Day, but there is no foolin here! 🙂 (Ok, and honestly I just couldn’t think of a good April Fool’s Day joke to play, so you just get the straight stuff from me today. hee hee). If you are on my mailing list, you’ve seen this flyer in last month’s…
Once again, I had a card idea that I’ve been sitting on for a while and this week I finally got around to trying it out. I love how it turned out so much that this will be one of the cards featured in April’s Cards to Go kit (so if you want step-by-step instructions…
Oh my, where has the time gone? I was talking with someone yesterday about how we had time to get their Sale-a-bration order in so they could get the Fresh Vintage stamp set and they reminded me that the 31st is Saturday!! Crazy! So, since I know there were some folks out there who had…
I’ve been wanting to try out Faux Tiling for a while and thought the big flower image from the Fresh Vintage stamp set was perfect for this look! To make the Faux Tiling look on your cards, I grabbed my Simply Scored score board and the matching Diagonal score plate to get the grid…
Last night was my Creative Card night and it was the perfect opportunity for me to try out a few different card ideas that I had been wanting to play with. One of those ideas was to play around with a design by my downline, Pam Wu. She had made this very cool card using…
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but while a lot of the country is seeming sunny and warm, Seattle has been getting strange bouts of hail and snow. Rain, i would understand in Seattle in March, but snow?? Weird. Anyway, I needed to put together some thank you cards for some recent orders and I…
Today I wanted to share a couple more samples from my watercoloring class. In my last post, I shared a card we did using chalks and for today, I thought I’d show some cards using watercolor crayons and markers. As you can see, the medium you use for your watercoloring gives you totally different effects!…
One of the things I love about teaching technique classes is that I’m often reminded of how cool a technique or a product is that I haven’t used in ages. In this case, it is using my Stampin’ Pastels (chalks). I ran a watercoloring technique class this weekend where we used 5 different methods for…
