August Magnet Stand Kit-Fall
One of my favorite Fall activities is visiting an apple farm and stocking up on apples, cider, and apple pie. When we go, I always hope for a cool, crisp day but in SoCal, it's typically still around 90' in September. So we do our apple picking in shorts and t-shirts. It's been a few years since we've been, but it was always a lot of fun. To help you get ready for your Fall decorating, August's kit is dedicated to apple season! This is one … [Read more...] about August Magnet Stand Kit-Fall

August Sampler-Go Wild
When my kids were little, one of my favorite places to take them was the zoo. They absolutely loved seeing the wild animals in person. Even though they couldn't get close to them, they loved watching them. It's hard to say which animals were their favorites. The monkeys were always so entertaining. The size of the elephants and rhinos were always surprising when we got close to them. But if we saw the lion out of his hiding spot, that was … [Read more...] about August Sampler-Go Wild
Thank You
We're finishing up this week with another Sketched Butterflies card. This one actually came about using up some left over pieces from other projects.

Check back on Monday to see what's in store. Sketched Butterflies Bundle (English) - … [Read more...] about Thank You
A Simple Little Card
This was meant to be a quick and simple card. And then I had to make it complicated. I loved the scattering of all the little butterflies, but the card looked flat. So I stamped more little butterflies, then cut them out individually, and added them with pop dots. It adds a little something to the card having additional layers. However, the card would have been just fine without adding the extra layer of butterflies. Don't worry, I have … [Read more...] about A Simple Little Card
Sketched Butterflies
I'm a sucker for butterfly stamps. If there's a butterfly stamp in the catalog, it's guaranteed that I'm going to purchase it. Usually, I color butterflies like a Monarch butterfly, in oranges and yellows. This time, I went with purple. I absolutely love this stamp set. I made a bunch of cards with it and will be sharing them all week. Check back on Wednesday to see more of this set. Sketched Butterflies Bundle (English) - … [Read more...] about Sketched Butterflies
Dearest Friend
Summer heat can be a lot in SoCal. I think we have another two months before the heat starts to drop. Every Winter, I can't wait for the rain to stop and the days to warm up. And by mid-Summer, I'm ready for a bit of chill in the air. I'm already dreaming about cooler days. This pattern paper reminds me of Winter sunsets, where the sun is turning the sky a beautiful purple. I love the nature scenes in this pattern paper set. They make amazing … [Read more...] about Dearest Friend
