Sorry I got a little behind with my blogging but I was planning on posting last night but ended up spending a couple hours trying to figure out how I was going to stuff all my goodies in my bags! It was a full packed day and I loved every minute of it! We spent…
My word! Its been a whirlwind of a week starting with me desperately trying to get swaps made and everything packed and ready to go for convention this year. But I made it and flew into Salt Lake City on Tuesday in anticipation of a great week…and I haven’t been disappointed! Today was the first…
In a continuation of yesterday’s post, here are the other two cards we made using the new Strength and Hope stamp set (missed the first two cards, you can check them out here). The second card uses the “joy fold” technique to create a unique flap style card. They are actually really easy to make…
In the latest mini catalog, Stampin’ Up! released a stamp set called Strength and Hope to support breast cancer research. They are donating $2 from each purchase of the stamp set or digital kit to the cause, which being someone who has had family members battle breast cancer, I think is awesome. So, I put…
In honor of the holiday weekend a few days ago, I issued a creative challenge to the folks on my SU team to create one or more cards using only Red, White, and Blue colors. I figured since I was the one who created the challenge, I ought to put together something to get the…
Yay! The new catalog is officially launched and online. I am still debating over which of the cool new stamps and papers I have to have now; but I wanted to make sure you had a chance to check out all the fun new stuff yourself. Plus, don’t forget, I’m offering free shipping through July…
Hello there! I know its been a while and can you believe it, its the end of the catalog year already! Yikes! Well, I’m going to try to get you all caught up, plus I have a little something for you too. So, a quickie update for me – cause some inquiring minds want to…
Like other crafters out there, I’m sure, I have a huge pile of scraps that are more than just left over pieces of cardstock when I cut out a shape from a sheet. But I have stamped images I decided not to use for one reason or another, punched images that I played with and…
Thursday night I held my first event with my new Bellevue/Redmond Card Makers meetup group. We had a small group but it was fun to meet some local gals and great to have the forced motivation to get my craft room unpacked! I’ll admit it, I didn’t get the craft supply boxes opened until that…
Hello again! Thanks for visiting again after my recent blog hiatus! :) For those of you that didn’t know, I just finished a big move from California to Washington state. Its been a crazy couple of weeks for finishing getting ready to go, driving myself, my hubby, my son, and 3 cats in a minivan…
Yes, I know it isn’t Christmastime and I can’t even claim Christmas in July, but I recently ran across this holiday card I made last winter and I JUST HAD to share it with you! See, I first heard about glass glitter at the Stampin’ Up! convention last summer. They talked about how it would…
If you got my April newsletter recently, you may recognize part of this card! I wanted to show some of the fun things you can do with Presto Patterns specialty paper. See, many people either don’t realize what it is (because in the catalog it shows up as white with brown lines to show the…
