Happy Valentine Heart Treat Topper
Anyone else out there a sucker for a good deal or at least cute things for a small price tag? Anyone? Well, I don’t normally do little treat bags and toppers but when I saw the limited time Valentine Bundles that Stampin’ Up! was offering, I thought the Happy Valentine Heart was so cute and…
Making Envelopes to Hold 4×6 Photos
I always do this… pick a card to send to someone (in this case Christmas cards), grab an A2 envelope (the type made to fit a 4-1/4” x 5 1/2” card), and then as I’m going to stuff the envelope realize that I’m mailing out 4×6 cards… which doesn’t fit in the envelope! This year,…
Holiday Blog Hop with the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad!
Last month I was honored to be asked to join a group of very talented guys and gals for a monthly blog hop showcasing fresh ideas using Stampin’ Up! goodies. Given how it feels like the last couple months have been crazy busy, I figured having a deadline and a theme to work with would…

I’ll tel(l you up front that this project requires sewing, which means you know I didn’t make it myself. Instead, my fabulously talented friend Annie Lee created this for me using some of the Springtime Vintage fabric I gave her (and Yes! This is one of the fabrics that is on clearance right now…
Convention 2012 Display Boards!
One of the big reasons to go to convention is to see all the tons of amazing samples and displays. They have huge boards that are organized by common colors (so you get a rainbow effect as you walk along the boards), by artisan award finalists, and boards full of samples using the stamp sets…
Everything Eleanor Card Box
If you can’t tell, I love making cards. 🙂 But between class samples and playing around with my stamps and tools, I often end up with more cards than I need at a given time. Which means I need a way to store them and what better way than a cute box on my shelf? …
2012 In Color Bookmarks
I’ve been so spoiled because I’ve had the last week to flip through my new Stampin’ Up! catalog and play with some of the new papers, stamps, and even the new style of ink pads! But I also made sure to spend time this week gearing up to share the love as well. I finished…
