Have you been playing along with Cute Card Thursday? I have been having a blast as guest designer this month with them and this week we have a great challenge for you: Tie It Up! I had a lot of ideas for this theme and I really wanted to do one that involved lacing. Somehow,…
If you remember, this was my first year attending Leadership convention. I was so excited that I had promoted to Manager and so I had earned an entry into Manager’s Reception. Well, this year, Manager’s Reception was at Harry Potter’s Wizardly World in Orlando. Um, yes please!! The whole weekend was super fun and so…
I love the idea of the “Best of” stamps… Stampin’ Up!’s way of celebrating their 25th anniversary by bringing back some of their best selling images from the past 25 years. Now, that said, I wasn’t too in love with the first couple sets – they just weren’t my style. But now that they have…
Look, it’s back! It’s Scrapbooking Sunday! I love, love, love making cards. But boy did I miss making scrapbook pages. I have photos piled up in my craft room and that is only the ones I’ve printed in the last year thinking I was going to be getting way more scrapbooking done than I did! …
Some incredibly talented girls I know started a paper crafting challenge blog a year ago called The Paper Girls Challenge Blog. They post challenges twice a month for fun and (sometimes) prizes. Well, I was so honored to be asked by them to be one of two guest designers this month – so I totally…
You may remember my somewhat recent watercoloring on glossy paper posting using this adorable Greeting Card Kids stamp set. Well, I’m back at it again, this time with a Valentime’s Day theme. I just loved this cute little girl and thought she needed to be colored up for the holiday. It was the same idea,…
Ok, so Christmas is only 2 days away! Eep! Are you ready and have all your presents wrapped? I’ll admit, I have most of them wrapped but not all of them! But wrapping presents got me thinking about gift tags and I was going crazy with the No Peeking set and had so much fun…
I know, I just shared another card with this stamp but isn’t this reindeer sooo cute? 🙂 I was having a bit of fun with this stamp set – No Peeking – and seem to be having a love affair with “cute” stamp sets, so I hope you don’t mind! This is an idea for…
First, let me start by wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! Whether you are with family and friends for the holiday, or just having your typical day at home – I hope it is a wonderful day for you! I always love the time to get all of our family in the area for…
Thanks to everyone who sent their good luck wishes or stopped by my Stampin’ Up! booth at the Seattle Creating Keepsakes Convention! It was fun to set up as a vendor this year though it turned out to be quite the eventful weekend with my entire family getting taken out suddenly by the stomach flu. …
Last night I was finished up the final design touches and prepping for my first Christmas Card stamp-a-stack this weekend. I need to get the cards photographed so I can share some of the fun things we will be doing but I really wanted to get at least one up today so I hope you…
After creating my Everything Eleanor swap cards for convention (this card), I was left with a bunch of circles that I punched out from the middle of the scallop circle image from the stamp set. I think it is meant for journalling but since I had been trying to make a wreath, I didn’t need…
