Every year that I go to convention, I get caught up in swapping. The idea of taking a bunch of card fronts with you to convention and then trading them with everyone else so that you can get new ideas to take home and share… or copy… or hang on your wall and drool over!…
Oops! I’ve totally fallen behind on my blog posting this week. I’ll let you in on a secret – I’m working on a design refresh for my blog – and I’ve gotten so caught up with that and my monthly Stampin’ Up! team meeting this week, that I completely got behind on blog posts. But,…
Its blog hop time! This time, the theme is Weddings & Anniversaries. Now, all I could remember when I started working on my projects was the challenge to use silver in honor of Stampin’ Up’s 25th anniversary. So, my mind was stuck on my silver glimmer paper when I got started. However, I was lucky…

Well, I hope you had as great of a weekend as I did! I had relatives from the midwest and California in town for the weekend and so we did a lot of visiting and traveling around the Seattle area. This was the first time my hubby’s Grandma, Aunt, and Uncle had met our daughter…
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…
