  • Bloomin’ Marvelous Embossed Treat Box

    When I accidentally ordered 3 packs of the Kraft Treat Boxes because I thought you were getting one for the $2.95 not 4 boxes for the $2.95, I was initially bummed to have so many boxes; but now I’m almost out and have been loving experimenting with them!  This was my first time trying out…

  • Snowman Snowglobe Holiday Card

    My son keeps telling me that it isn’t wintertime because there is no snow.  Apparently to his 2 – going on 3- year old view of the world: fall = leaves fall off the trees and winter = snow. That a pretty close approximation!  Unfortunately we don’t get too much snow up here in Seattle. …

  • Quick Holiday Gift Idea w/ the Candy Wrapper Die

    When I first saw the candy wrapper die, all the projects I saw with it were halloween projects and ever since then I seemed to be stuck thinking about it as a halloween thing or even birthday treats… See this is what you see when you look at it in the catalog or online:           …

  • Pennant Parade “Framed” Christmas Card

    I hear from almost everyone I meet when stamping the infamous phrase “I’m not creative”… so I thought for this month’s team meeting, I’d share an idea for a card that was completely inspired by a card in our demonstrator magazine Stampin’ Success.  It was all about taking an idea you see somewhere, getting inspired…

  • Orchard Harvest Thinking of You Card

    Orchard Harvest was one of those designer papers that I loved as soon as I saw it in the catalog and so I had to get some.  But then my fear of using things up kicked in and I just looked at it and couldn’t bring myself to cut it up. Well… as I look…

  • Paisley Petals Anniversary Card

    This weekend my family and I headed out of town to Spokane, WA for my grandparent’s 65th anniversary.  I think it is so awesome to see two people who have shared a life for 65 years and have so many interesting stories from their adventures along the way! So, this when I found this sentiment…

  • Using Up Those Scraps!

    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…
