Happy fall…
Well, it appears the summer disappeared with Hurricane Earl a couple of weeks ago, huh? I actually don't mind the fall... except that I really don't look forward to the winter... at all! However, I do enjoy the cool, crisp sunny days of fall. Plus...
Vintage Vibe…
I'm loving the vintage trend that is popular in the papercrafting industry right now. The lace, the subtle colors and old school feel of the products are fabulous. I made this card using the new Greeting Card Kids stamp set from the 2010-2011...
I want to go to Disney World — and you can come, too!
The first and last time I was in Disney World was 20 years ago. That seems so impossible, but, unfortunately, is true. I was a Freshman in High School and we drove down to Florida on two large Peter Pan buses so the band could perform at Sea World....
Howdy…
Hi There!Well, it's the unofficial end of summer... sigh. How do you feel about that? I'm sort of torn... I love summer weather (although fall isn't bad either) and endless hours at the beach, but the fall always translates into new beginnings for...
Earn an extra $25 in free Stampin’ Up merchandise!
Hello there. Just a quick post tonight with a simple card I made for a recent workshop. This was one of two make and takes at a recent in-home workshop I had. Each guest made this card and a 6 X 6 scrapbook page (the one in the previous post) and...
Happy Birthday, Hey Hey!
This is my beautiful niece, Heather. It's her birthday today so I thought it would be appropriate to post this progressive scrapbook page I did recently of her and her first car. I have always named my cars - ever since I lived with a school...
Things don’t always turn out the way you intend…
I was trying to prepare for my stamp club yesterday and I decided to try using a sketch from the Mojo Monday blog (a great place to start when you are feeling stumped, by the way). So this sketch inspired me and I decided to create a card using it....
Seriously… am I a scrapbooker or not?
So I'm supposed to be a scrapbooker, right? Then why is it that I ALWAYS forget to take photos of my Stampin' Up events!?Last weekend (I know, I'm a little late) I held my first ever Hostess Appreciation event. I had 14 people attend and I think...
I love the bugs…
Actually, I'm really not a fan of bugs in general, but I do love the cute little "bugs" in the retiring Stampin' Up level one hostess stamp set called "love bug". It is a very cute set that I didn't use this set more often... too many stamps, too...
Say it isn’t so…
In less than two weeks we'll say goodbye to some of our favorite Stampin' Up stamp sets... including this one called Garden Whimsy. I know it is inevitable each year that I'll have to say so long to a few of my favorites, but it doesn't make it any...
Senak Peek!
So I finally had a minute or two to play with some of my new toys and this is what I made! It features almost exclusively new product from the colors to the Designer Series Paper to the stamp set. It actually features six new products... can you...
Wow… it’s been a long time!
Hi there! Remember me? I apologize for being so out of touch lately. Do you ever find that once you get out of the routine of something it is so hard to get back into it? Well, that is what happened here with the little blog. I kept saying "I'm...
