Ugh! Summer is almost over. Just another week for Evan before College starts again and two more weeks for Maddie before she starts her Senior year of high school. Club soccer season kicked off this past weekend and we have three tournaments this month. If you're looking for me, I'll probably be at a soccer field somewhere in SoCal. So, Fall really is just around the corner. And with the start of Fall, we have the start of the Stampin Up … [Read more...] about Fall is just around the Corner
Follow Your Heart
I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see another stamp set in the Catalog with craft supplies. The Follow Your Art Suite has just the cutest combination of craft supplies and pattern paper. I had die cut a bunch of extra pieces for the card in a box I shared on Wednesday and I still had a bunch of those mini clipboards sitting around. I knew the clipboard would be perfect for a smaller version of the card in a box. I used the same mini … [Read more...] about Follow Your Heart
Sending You Love In A Box
If you've ever spent any time on Pinterest, you'll have noticed that there are literally thousands and thousands of different card ideas. One unique card style that I love is the card in a box. This card is really nice that it folds flat for mailing or gift giving. Then when the recipient opens the card, it opens to a 3D box. This is such a neat effect for the person receiving the card.The novelty behind this card is that when it … [Read more...] about Sending You Love In A Box
July Paper Pumpkin
I've had my July Paper Pumpkin kit sitting around for two weeks and I finally opened the box yesterday. I kept holding off opening it because I nervous! I've been telling myself for weeks that I really need to start making videos. I figured a good way to ease myself into it was to film an "unboxing" video of the kit since I get a lot of questions about what the kit looks like when it arrives. If you want to see the unboxing video check out … [Read more...] about July Paper Pumpkin
Adulting and Magnolias
Last weekend was one in a million.. both kids were working or otherwise occupied and there was NO soccer. Instead of spending the entire weekend working in my studio, I knew I really needed to tackle some long-neglected tasks around the house. Ever have a clean laundry basket that just doesn’t seem to get put away for weeks? No? Hmm, must be just me. Well, I finally got it done. Plus I dealt with those two pesky counters where “stuff” just … [Read more...] about Adulting and Magnolias

June Paper Pumpkin Revisited
A few weeks ago I shared the June Paper Pumpkin kit made per the directions in the kit. You can see it here. Today, I'm sharing an alternate project idea for that same kit. This adorable shadowbox was made by one of my downline, Lyndi. I really try to share only my own projects here, but this was really too good not to share it with all of you. Lyndi did an amazing job on this shadowbox. Here are the dimensions for this project so you can … [Read more...] about June Paper Pumpkin Revisited
So Happy…
It's Friday! Every year Stampin Up releases more floral stamp sets. And every year I tell myself I probably don't need another floral stamp set. So what do I do? I buy the new floral stamp set of course! The new To A Wild Rose stamp set was designed by a Stampin Up Demonstrator that reached $1,000,000 in sales over her career. Designing a stamp set is one of the amazing perks they give you if you sell that much in products. Just in case … [Read more...] about So Happy…
