It feels great to break into some of my new Holiday Mini goodies. I knew I wanted to play with the new Spice Cake designer paper and so I pulled out colors from the paper and went from there. To make some of the different elements i added to the card, I started with 3…
Its finally here! The new Summer Mini has launched and I have to say I’m definitely in trouble with this one! I already love my Simply Scored scoring tool and the new Spice Cake designer paper. Yum!! Check it out and let me know what your favorites are: Need your own copy of the Holiday…
It seems like summer is just getting started but after looking at the calendar apparently September is almost here! So, while I guess that is cool because that means back to school, fun fall events are coming soon, and the new Holiday Mini is about to be released. But…. That also means that there…
I’m back from my trip to California and I’m happy to share that my nephew’s surgery went well and while he has a lot of recovery ahead of him, he is doing great! It really is amazing to me how advanced medicine has become these days and how much people go through on the road…
Well, my adventures in California are coming to a close and I’m about to get back on the road to head back to Washington. Its been a great chance to visit with friends, family, and my Stampin’ pals. Thankfully, my nephew’s surgery went great and he seems to be recovering well (enough so that he…
I’m still working on getting over my paper and embellishment hoarding tendencies. I LOVE my pattern papers and all my cute buttons and brads but I always worry about using them up (reality check – its not like there isn’t more out there huh? 🙂 ). So this is a step on my road to…
Today I thought I’d share a card I got to make at an event this summer hosted by my way-upline, Julie Gunhus. She is one of those demonstrators who have been around for over 10 years and now has a huge downline. She is so sweet to put on big group get togethers a couple…
I recently asked folks who visit my Facebook page if they had any requests for types of projects they would like to see, and one request was for a baby girl shower invitation. Well, after creating my baby girl scrapbook page, I was inspired to try out a matching design for a shower invitation. So,…
While cutting the paper for my designer paper share, I got a chance to really take in the different designs and was surprised to find myself drawn to the Beau Chateau pack. See, normally I think vintage is pretty and all, but it isn’t usually my style. Then I saw the pink patterns and since…
When I was just out of school, my friends used to give me a hard time about the fact that I was always traveling. They must have been right because its time for another trip! We’ll be heading out tomorrow for the San Francisco Bay Area with my Mother-in-Law to lend support to my family…
I decided to participate in another challenge with week – again with the Late Night Stamper group. This week was challenge #133 and you were to create a thinking of you card that has blue on it. Seemed easy enough and so I grabbed my poor neglected On The Grow stamp set from the summer…
Happy Saturday! Saturdays are for fun right? I plan to head out to a local berry patch with my family to pick blueberries…which should be interesting with a 1 year old. But I figure that given that he is so good at picking the berries off our bushes at home (especially the green ones!) I…
