As I was putting together my Cards to Go kits for this month, I was trying to decide what to make for my third card. I had so many ideas but wanted something that would be a good balance for the set this time. So, as I was looking around for inspiration, I saw a…
Last weekend, I did a presentation at the Northwest Women’s Show that was based around the idea that you can take one of the many scrapbook sketches out there and use them even if you are not a scrapbooker. I don’t know about you, but while I like designing cards, sometimes my brain just isn’t…
It’s a new week and while I’m still trying to get photos together from the projects I demonstrated at the Northwest Women’s Show last weekend I thought I would share a fun card that my downline, Bethani Semple created recently. I find the Everyday Enchantment designer paper and Fresh Vintage stamp set often…
Yesterday was the first day of the Northwest Women’s Show and the first of 3 days of presentations I’ll be running on the Home Style stage! It was a lot of fun and I’m excited to go back and share different projects for the next couple days. But I thought I would share the…
If you are on my mailing list, you’ve seen this card with my last newsletter but I love it so much that I had to share it on my blog too! Now, I’ve done the window frame style card before (like this card) but I really wanted to play around with using the new Labels…
So, this is my last weekend to prep before the big Northwest Women’s Show here in Seattle. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to present a crafting demonstration on their Home Style stage on each of the 3 days; so I’ve been trying to square away exactly what I’m going to demo. Well, this is…
Last week I held a Fast and Fabulous card class. The goal of the class was to give people three cards that were quick to make, didn’t use too many tools, and looked great when you were done. And while this card doesn’t translate as well in the photo as it does in person, people…
Have you ever looked at your stash of supplies, whether scrapbooking paper or office supplies, and realized you had more than you thought? That was me after organizing my craft room at the end of last year. So I joined a group of girl friends in declaring a 100-project challenge! For this challenge, you…
Well, we are about halfway through Sale-a-Bration and I wanted to make sure everyone has been having a chance to take full advantage of all the great deals! You’ve heard me talk about the free products you can get with every $50 you spend – which can be combined with hostess rewards for stacking tons…
One of the things I love about being a Stampin’ Up! demo is that through the course of my different classes, events, and online wanderings, I meet some pretty awesome people. That is especially true of the Fun n’ Crafty gals in my downline. I have a facebook group for us to chat and share…
Its Sunday, and so I’m back again with more scrapbooking ideas. This week, I decided to start from a sketch that came from some friends of mine. They recently started a challenge blog called The Paper Girls Challenge, where twice a month they post some kind of crafty challenge. Their first challenge was a scrapbook…
Happy Saturday, everyone! If you are a fan of my Facebook page, you’ve already seen today’s card; but I had so much fun making it that I wanted to make sure I shared it with my blog readers too. (And it just makes me happy to look at so I’m having fun writing up this…
