Today I thought I would do a quick card share to show an easy and fun card I made for my friend and downline. I’ll admit I was in the middle of creating some Valentine’s Day cards when I created it so I think it came out a bit “love-y” due to the colors I…
Today is the story of why card making when very tired can sometimes yield not your intended results. 🙂 I am off visiting my parents in northern Washington for the week and yesterday was the day Nicholas (my son) and I got up at the very early hour of 5am to head to the airport…
I’m on a yahoo group called Late Night Stampers and each week they post a challenge for you to complete that week. This week the challenge was to create a masculine card. Well, I often fall back on Lovely as a Tree as a “masculine” set since I don’t have many stamps that are explicitly…
So, today was going to be a post sharing a project I did recently; but then Stampin’ Up! released a video by Shelli Gardner talking about creativity and Stampin’ Up! and almost the entire video is the camera panning around some AMAZING sample rooms. Yes, rooms! See, in the home office, they have this area…
I’m a little late in posting today, but I wanted to be sure I wished all of you a very happy Valentine’s day! I created this card specifically for sharing today. Stampin’ Up! and the crafting I’ve done since I was introduced to Stampin’ Up! has introduced me to my second family of amazingly creative…
Last night was my February meet & greet with my local Bay Area Card Makers meetup group. We had a fun night of socializing and, of course, card making! I always bring a free project for everyone to make, and after receiving some new Sale-a-Bration items recently, I knew I wanted to get those out…
I love that Stampin’ Up! has gotten into digital scrapbooking/crafting and that they are so committed to it that they are releasing new downloads pretty much every week. The thing that hasn’t been so great is that you had to sift through old and new download images in the online store to try to see…
This last friday I had a fun workshop with some ladies I met recently. I wanted to make something nice for the hostess who organized the evening and so I decided to make her a purse with a variety of cards inside. I knew she loved purple and I remembered the awesome purples in the…
The big game day is here and I know many folks will be getting together with friends for good food, hopefully a good game, and of course, the commercials!! I love watching the game and getting into the spirit of cheering on one of the teams, even though I don’t watch football most of the…
I’m excited to be headed out this evening to meet up with a bunch of ladies and show them these Valentine and Love themed cards. As I’ve been sharing this week, I’ve tried to bring a mix of your traditional Red/Pink love-based Valentine’s and some sweet sentiment but more subtle Valentine’s. This is the last…
If you’ve read my newsletter, you got to hear me go on about how I love the new Glimmer paper and how I have all my fingers and toes crossed that we will see more of this in more colors! Its true, I love this stuff! So, I had to share it with others in…
Yay! Stampin’ Up! just announced that they are extending the availability of the Filled with Love stamp set and special edition Paper Pack through February 14th! I just saw the announcement and wanted to share. I’ve had so much fun playing with this set and I’ll try to post more samples this week. If you…
