So, how about a holiday card? The black paper with green dots is the backside of the crazy pattern that…
Well, the calendar says it’s October 31st and so that means it is officially Halloween! And so whether today holds parties, trick-or-treating, pumpkins, or just hanging out at home; I wanted to wish you a happy and safe Halloween! For today’s card, I wanted to get some good time in with this Frightful Sight designer…
Halloween is almost here and since I’m so behind on posting, I wanted to hurry up and share a card I made this month using the holiday hostess set called Warmest of Wishes. I normally don’t get halloween stamps but since this adorable trick or treating owl was a part of the set, I knew…
Ever have those weeks where the mojo just isn’t flowing? Sometimes I’m jazzed to get crafty but then I sit down at my craft table and just stare at everything and have no idea what to make. That would be this week for me! Thank goodness for swap cards! Today I thought I’d share a…

Its finally here! The new Summer Mini has launched and I have to say I’m definitely in trouble with this one! I already love my Simply Scored scoring tool and the new Spice Cake designer paper. Yum!! Check it out and let me know what your favorites are: Need your own copy of the Holiday…
It seems like summer is just getting started but after looking at the calendar apparently September is almost here! So, while I guess that is cool because that means back to school, fun fall events are coming soon, and the new Holiday Mini is about to be released. But…. That also means that there…
I’m back from my trip to California and I’m happy to share that my nephew’s surgery went well and while he has a lot of recovery ahead of him, he is doing great! It really is amazing to me how advanced medicine has become these days and how much people go through on the road…
Well, my adventures in California are coming to a close and I’m about to get back on the road to head back to Washington. Its been a great chance to visit with friends, family, and my Stampin’ pals. Thankfully, my nephew’s surgery went great and he seems to be recovering well (enough so that he…
I’m still working on getting over my paper and embellishment hoarding tendencies. I LOVE my pattern papers and all my cute buttons and brads but I always worry about using them up (reality check – its not like there isn’t more out there huh? 🙂 ). So this is a step on my road to…
