I'm definitely a "glass is half full" kind of person. I'm always looking for the good in others and the positive in any situation. I prefer to have a positive outlook on life and be happy when good things happen. I strongly feel that if you look for the negative, that is exactly what you're going to find. And I like wine. So, it was no surprise that I purchased the Half Full stamp set. One of the sentiments in the set, "may your glass … [Read more...] about Half Full
Five Minute Friday – Happy Owloween
Today's post is going to be a quick one. I am actually at a Copic class this weekend learning all sorts of new things using Copic markers. I have been looking forward to this for months. I love learning new skills and techniques. Today's Five Minute Card uses the new Halloween Suite of products to make a quick card. One of the pattern paper sheets is a whole sheet of 3x3" squares of the spooky Halloween tree and moon. These sheets are … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Happy Owloween
Which Witch?
Every Fall I try to make at least one Halloween home décor piece to add to my collection. And each year, I try to make something different. This year I made a small witch’s hat. Witch's hats are so easy to make. The witch's hat started as a plain chipboard cone from the local craft store. My cone is approximately 7" tall. I cut a piece of the Spooky Night paper to fit around the outside of the cone. I cut the paper on the diagonal so the corner … [Read more...] about Which Witch?
Spooky Treats
This past weekend I had a table at the Just Crop Retreats. I really look forward to seeing these ladies every month. If you're looking for a crafty weekend away with your friends or even by yourself, you should try one of Rachel's retreats. The ladies are always so welcoming and fun. I don't stay for the whole weekend because of my kids' crazy schedules, but I appreciate the time I get to spend with these crafters. One of my Make … [Read more...] about Spooky Treats
Five Minute Friday – It’s PSL Time
Okay, I admit it. I am addicted to coffee. I love all different flavors and styles. My favorite is a Flat White, closely followed by a Latte or Cafe au Lait. Mochas? I'm there. Blended? Yep. Hot? Of course. Iced? Definitely. But there is one coffee I am not fond of even though I try to convince myself every year when all the hubbub starts. It is the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I feel like I'm missing something because everyone I know loves it. … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – It’s PSL Time
Eeek! Halloween is Right Around The Corner
I am so excited that the Holiday Catalog is now LIVE to customers. There are so many amazing things in the Catalog this year. I hope you've been saving up, because your wish list is going to be huge. I usually start off September with Halloween and Fall projects. But don't worry, I'll be sprinkling in some Christmas and Winter projects here and there too. I know that people like to get an early start on their Holiday cards. Today's project … [Read more...] about Eeek! Halloween is Right Around The Corner
Happily Ever After
This past weekend, I attended a wedding for a co-worker and I think this is the first wedding I have been to in about 10 years. It's funny how the cycle of life happens. When you're younger, you go to lots of weddings. As you get older, you transition into baby showers, and then first birthday parties. Eventually school graduations... kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, High School, and then College. And I hear the cycle starts over … [Read more...] about Happily Ever After
Five Minute Friday – August Paper Pumpkin
Time for another Five Minute Friday. I don’t know about you, but now that school is back in session, we’re going through that beginning of the year adjustment trying to remember when and where everybody is supposed to be at any given time. Obviously, time is at a premium until we settle back into the routine. But, just because I'm short on time, that doesn't mean I can't still make cute handmade cards. Our Paper Pumpkin kits are perfect for cards … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – August Paper Pumpkin
