One of my friends made this adorable Mickey tote for me. The Notes & Totes bundle has some great dies to make these 3-D tote bags. The die set includes all the dies to do all the trim and embellishments. The little bags are about 3" x 3", just big enough to hold a few small chocolates. I love the idea of this bundle, being able to make all sorts of different tote bags. These little bags would be adorable for party favors. I can't wait … [Read more...] about Tote-ally Cool!
Virtual Album Retreat-Part 2
Happy Friday! I'm back today with Part 2 of the Virtual Album Retreat. I wanted to share my thoughts on the Retreat. As I mentioned, the Virtual Retreat took place over three days, with each "session" lasting around 8ish hours. That's about 24 hours worth of crafting and instruction. You could check in for any portion as you had time and then watch the videos in replay later. The how-to videos are lengthy because they want you to have time … [Read more...] about Virtual Album Retreat-Part 2
Virtual Album Retreat-Part 1
Stampin Up recently held their very first Virtual Album Retreat. This was a scrapbook retreat held online via video over three days.

Working Weekend
I have the best job. One of my favorite parts of being a Stampin Up demonstrator is meeting people. I work anywhere from 15-20 craft retreats per year. I know, it's a lot of retreats. I'm usually there only one day though so I still have some time in my weekend to get other things done too. But, I do really look forward to the retreats. Here is my set up from this past Saturday. I have lots of Stampin Up kits for sale plus a variety of kits … [Read more...] about Working Weekend
Happy Day
Stampin Up has the best pattern papers. This pack of paper includes two sheets of party themed punch outs that are perfect for adding to cards. One of my favorites is this large bouquet of flowers. It's so pretty, you really don't need anything else for the card. I've shared a lot of birthday cards this week. Today's card could be used for a birthday or just to say hello. I love quick and simple cards like this. Something like this means I … [Read more...] about Happy Day
