Ok, so I’m not making any promises about how often I’m normally going to post during the week, but I have an interesting challenge ahead of me and I just had to get started last night. If you have ever been to the splitcoaststampers website, you may have seen that they have a gallery of…
Its only been a day and a half and I already feel bad that I don’t have a blog post planned. 🙂 I started a new job yesterday and between that and racing home to place my first new catalog order, I didn’t get any crafting done. So, today is just a quick post before…
As part of my SCS blogging group, each month one of the members issues a challenge to the group. For January, we were challenged to make a Valentine’s Day card without using red, pink, or white. What a challenge! I had a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that you could do such…
I just finished cleaning up my kitchen after my card party this afternoon (we stamp in the dining room since right now all my stamping stuff is on tv trays and a bookcase in there). Today, in addition to the ladies who were stamping with me, their young daughters were with us as well (ages 4…
I did not even realize how ridiculously excited I could get over a catalog. I got my box last night and spent most of the evening flipping through it and forming my wish lists. When I was done, I realized that my wishlist definately exceeds my budget right now. However, there are a few must…
I’ve gotten a few requests to post the dimensions for the card hold I made that looks like a magazine file. I was getting ready to post the information, when I realized that this was actually made using a template that the super talented Becky Roberts created and sells. I contacted her about sharing the…
So, I normally don’t go for big flower stamp sets. I never know quite what to do with them. But when the preview stamp sets where announced, I saw this stamp set and thought some of the flowers and elements could be fairly versatile and so I thought I would give the set a shot. …
Alright, I’ve made it home and in between trying to catch up on all my home life stuff (those piles of papers and clothes didn’t seem to magically put themself while I was away, darn!) I wanted to post up another card I made over the weekend. Game Night is a new Spring/Summer set that I…
After spending 6 days at my parents, I am finally heading home. I’m so happy that the Amtrak train is running. After the ton of snow the Pacific Northwest got over Christmas, the water levels were high from the melt-off. Then, this week it started dumping buckets of rain causing tons of flooding and mudslides,…
Ok, I was getting kinda tired of looking at my old blog theme, especially when so many of the blogs I visit look super cute. So, I’ll probably be making some tweaks and hopefully it won’t be too hard to read. And besides, maybe a cute blog theme will make my cards look better too. 🙂
Just thought I would invite you all to come to some of my upcoming classes if you are in or from the Portland,OR area. Its a Card Party! – January 17th at 2pm The hubby will be out of town, so it seems like a perfect time to host a get together. We will be…
As I’ve said in prior posts, I’m visiting my mom this week to help her out with some events (a party for her on Tuesday and a Crop where we will be demo’ing a free make and take on Saturday). So, yesterday was my day to help make sure we had everything in order for…
