I have to admit when I'm out running errands, I'm constantly looking for things I can use in my crafting. A few months back, I found this tall, skinny metal bulletin board. It was in the dollar section so it wasn't a huge investment. I knew I find a use for it eventually... When I first saw the Sending Love Suite, I knew I had to get the Love Notes Framelits Dies. In the die set, there is an adorable mini envelope. Oh my goodness! It is … [Read more...] about Countdown To Valentine’s Day
Sharing Some Love
Valentine's Day is less than one month away so it's the perfect time to get started on those Valentine's Day projects and gifts. Today I have a cute little trinket box that would make an excellent Valentine's treat for just about anyone because it contains chocolate. And seriously, who doesn't like chocolate? Our clear treat boxes are 2x2x2" and they are the perfect size to fill with a couple chocolates. Such an inexpensive way to tell someone … [Read more...] about Sharing Some Love
Five Minute Friday – Oh So Succulent
Today's Five Minute Friday is brought to you by the Succulent Garden Suite! This set has been on my desk the last week and I'm still having so much fun with it. You might remember my card from Monday with the 25+ succulent plants (see it here). When I was creating that card, I stamped and cut lots of plants. I had several plants left over and today's card uses one of the left over plants. The bottom portion of the card is the Succulent … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Oh So Succulent

Look at the instruction sheet. I usually skip looking at the … [Read more...] about Vertical Garden
Sweet Succulents
When I was growing up, I remember visiting my grandma and grandpa's house. Their backyard was this amazing wonderland of growing flowers, plants, and vegetables. I remember rows and rows of veggies and having to be careful where I walked or I might step on something we were going to eat. I remember picking fresh radishes and green beans and eating them practically right off the vine. At the time, I probably didn't appreciate the magnitude … [Read more...] about Sweet Succulents
Five Minute Friday – So Very Much
When I first looked at the Sale-abration Catalog, the stamp set So Very Much jumped out at me. I love that giant Thank You stamp. In fact, it's so big it really can be your focal point on your card. Yay for quick and easy! The script is so swirly and pretty, and far better than my handwriting. This card goes together really quickly. I did a watercolor wash on the White card stock and didn't worry too much about … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – So Very Much
