See, I told you I was back and blogging… this is 2 days in a row! hee hee Well, between the holidays (and being way behind on my thank you cards) and just being so grateful for my customers, downline, and online crafting friends who have been amazingly supportive while I’ve been dealing with a…
“Celebrate good times, come on! “ … that is totally the song going through my head right now as I typed the title for this post. But the perky tune matches my smile and mood as I’m so excited to be re-kicking off my blog (including a new blog design!) and sharing the first of…

So, yesterday I shared with you the first part of my progressive scrapbook page. I had created an 8.5” x 11” scrapbook layout and so today I wanted to share how with a few simple touches you can turn that into a 12” x 12” scrapbook page. You can see how the original 8.5” x…
While cleaning my room, I ran across some project kits from past Stampin’ Up! regional events. One of them was from a year or so ago and was to make a 8.5 x 11” scrapbook page. I decided the colors would be perfect for our trip to the Pumpkin Patch this year and so I…

So, after making a couple cards recently using the Frightful Sight designer paper , I decided to challenge myself to make a card that had absolutely nothing to do with Halloween using this paper pack. 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!

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…
Have you had a chance to try digital scrapbooking and crafting yet? There have been different options out there for a while and last year Stampin’ Up! came out with their own option – My Digital Studio. I hadn’t done much digital crafting but I loved the idea of “hybrid scrapbooking” where you create a…
Today is our day to head home from Las Vegas. Its been a great trip, but I’m ready to head home. But before I fly out, I thought I would share one more card I made with some of my new goodies I brought with me on the trip. I decided last night that I…
