I've been so busy lately creating with the new Color Your Season bundle and the new watercolor pencils. I love that the set has so many versatile images and sentiments. And, the new collection of watercolor pencils compliments the set in the Annual Catalog so well. Today's project is a little treat bag that I made to give to some friends at the Just Crop Retreat this past weekend. I stopped by the Retreat and dropped off these little goodies … [Read more...] about A Little Hello

Five Minute Friday – Blended Seasons
Today I'm sharing a brand new product that became available August 1st and will be available only through the end of the month (or while supplies last). It's so exciting when we get these special limited-time releases. This stamp set has a variety of images and sentiments that will carry you through the year. We've got flowers, holly, and Fall leaves. Since Fall is right around the corner, my first card naturally used the Fall leaves. To make … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Blended Seasons
July Paper Pumpkin Sampler
I love the adorable little picnic baskets that came in the July Paper Pumpkin kit. But I don't really have a lot of room to store 3D projects like that in my studio. Seriously, I would be overrun if I kept one of everything. Still, I really wanted to enjoy the look of the picnic basket and knew a Sampler would be perfect to display something like this. I took most of the various pieces from the July kit to make my 12x12 Sampler. I used the … [Read more...] about July Paper Pumpkin Sampler

Five Minute Friday – June Paper Pumpkin
Summers are made of late nights, fire flies, and warm summer evenings. There is nothing better than fresh juicy fruits and a lovely picnic on a warm sunny afternoon. Our June Paper Pumpkin kit is the perfect representation of those lazy afternoons relaxing on a picnic blanket. June's kit makes 12 cards and four picnic baskets. These 3 x 3" cards are so cute. I can't decide which is my favorite: the blueberry, the strawberry, or the apple. … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – June Paper Pumpkin
Dreamcatcher
Today, I'm back with the Follow Your Dreams stamp set and coordinating dies. It's kind of funny how you see something and think, that's not my style. But when you start creating with it, you really end up liking it quite a bit. I picked this set because I knew my daughter would like it. In fact, she has a dreamcatcher that she made hanging in her room. She loves that hippie retro vibe. Today's card is all about the layers and more … [Read more...] about Dreamcatcher
Follow Your Dreams
The Catalog is a great place to get ideas for projects, but sometimes you don't have the right supplies or you just don't want to make something quite that large. Don't be afraid to take an idea out of the Catalog and put your own twist on it. A few weeks ago I shared a canvas that I made using the new Pop of Petals stamp set and tons of flowers. You can see it here. A project like this can take a fair amount of time and work to make. I … [Read more...] about Follow Your Dreams
