Every month as I start working on cards for my monthly card class and stamp club, I remember why I love doing this. It is always fun to create a card of a scrapbook page based on what I see, but for me, it gets even more exciting when I think about what I can…
So, I was planning on finishing posting these cards this weekend… but then the family decided to do an impromptu holiday trip to Portland, OR, so we took off and I completely forgot to schedule these before I went. But now I’m back and have a lot to share with you in the next few…
So, every year I go to the Stampin’ Up convention… and every year I’m blown away by the amazing ideas and inspiration on all the different display boards. (To see what I’m talking about, here are a few past posts I’ve done showing the display boards.) Well, this year they are doing a call for…
I was working on cards for an upcoming card class for The Scrapyard Chicks April Workshop and one great technique Kerry mentioned was stacking die cuts to get a cool ombre or rainbow effect on your cards and projects. It looked so simple but just a neat effect that I just had to try it!…
Well, I totally forgot that today was Oscars day…. but given that my son has given me another head cold, today seems like the perfect day for laying on the couch and watching some TV. So, if you are following along with the Oscars with me, don’t miss out on my Winners Predictions Contest over…
Continuing on the theme of sharing some fun ideas from my Occasions Catalog swap with my Fun n’ Crafty gals. Today I’m sharing a couple more cards that use the Kaleidoscope designer paper. As I mentioned when I shared my Vivid Vases card earlier this week, this is a pack of paper that I loved…
This week I’m sharing some of the great cards I got from my team’s Occasion Catalog card swap. They came up with such fabulous cards that I wanted to share the inspiration with everyone! Today’s cards show some cute ways to use the patterns in the Fresh Prints designer paper stack to add a touch…
I have a fun blog hop for you today and it is something a little bit different! My friends have gone a little fan girl over Kiwi Lane and their designer templates. Basically they are plastic templates that you can use to help design your projects by layering them on your base paper to decide…
I don’t know about you but last week was crazy busy for me! I had 2 classes, a craft fair, Halloween events, and the usual everyday life stuff (if you are curious to see some of what I’ve been working on, I’ve been posting pictures up on my Facebook page here). It was one of…
Ever have one of those months where you swear you can’t keep up and yet you look back and try to figure out why you were so swamped? Well, August apparently was that month for me! Everytime I thought I was about to get caught up, I had something else that was starting to run…
So turns out when I start working on something, I can get really focused on that task. In the case of last week, that task wasn’t any of the handful of crafting projects and event prep I needed to work on, but instead was an even more daunting task – picking a preschool for Nicholas! …
I had to continue my sharing of the great convention with another card that I loved so much that I had to share it in a class last week. I really wanted to start playing with my goodies from the Holiday catalog but I couldn’t quite let go of summer yet, and so I gravitated…
