Each week, the Late Night Stampers group has some kind of challenge. This week was particularly intriguing to me as the challenge was to create a single/no layer card. When I first read this, I thought, “won’t these cards be boring?” Well, boy was I wrong! Folks came up with all kinds of cool ways…
I realized in writing this post that the word “vintage’ has a few different meanings. I’ve seen it used to describe victorian and lace, while other times it is more rough and aged. Or in this case, when I look at this card and think it looks more western or um..I don’t know… vintage? Well…
If you’ve seen the holiday mini, you’ve seen one of the new products Stampin’ Up! just released – the Letterpress Plates. These plates are made to use with your BigShot and instead of embossing your image by causing the pattern to raise up off your paper, these plates deboss your image – making empressed images…

As I was thinking about projects for the Halloween Punch Art Blog Hop, I came up with this idea in my head for an interactive Jack-o-Lantern. I had ideas for making it hold a gift card and some other stuff, but when I sat down to make it, it just wasn’t coming together. Finally today…
Man, can you believe the stores are already putting out their Halloween decorations and candy? I guess that means the holiday season is creeping up on us.

At convention this year, I had the chance to participate in a class taught by Sherrill Graff on Interactive Scrapbooking. It was one of those times when I found myself going, “WOW!” over something that was fairly easy but so cool. So, when I got home, I knew I had to share it with others. …
Ever have a project that you see in your head…you start cutting/stamping/punching and then suddenly go “that doesn’t work”? That is what happened to me on Monday. I wanted to get in one last farewell to the Summer mini card and was thinking how I got the Bouquet Bunch stamp set because I loved the…
I am part of a fabulous online stamping group called Late Night Stampers. It is a yahoo group where each day you get emails from different members of the group showing off their latest samples, project ideas, or business tips. It really is a great group of gals. Well today, Sherrill Graff – the woman…
Well, I didn’t get my farewell to the Summer mini card done before the catalog retired, so while I finish that card and start breaking out my new Holiday mini goodies, I thought I would share a couple cards I made with the Fur-ever Friends stamp set. I liked being able to make totally different…
