Friday night was my preview party for the new occasion mini. I had samples of projects made using the new stamps and accessories from the Occasion mini as well as treats, a door prize, and this make and take card. It gave everyone a chance to play with some of the new designer series papers,…
Have you had a chance to check out the Occasion Mini catalog yet? This year I think they’ve done a great job of offering a wide range of stamps and accessories – from vintage to modern, masculine to sewing notions, plus NEW PUNCHES!! I love punches, especially when they match stamp sets, so it was…
I made this scrapbook page before the craziness of the December Holidays and wanted to share it with you as my farewell to the Holiday Mini. The Day of Gratitude stamp set was one that didn’t catch my eye when I first looked at the mini but after making a few samples at the Portland…

This month’s make & take project had me focused on using the Big Designer Buttons from the holiday mini. I didn’t know what else I wanted to do with a card, but I knew I wanted to use my buttons. So, after digging through my stamp sets, I ended up finding my Petal Pizazz set…
Last friday I held a holiday class around gift tags and gift card holders. I have to admit, while trying to get project ideas, I got so inspired that I had way to many projects I wanted to do with the class. I managed to reign it in some, but I still ended up with…
