I was at a local craft store not too long ago and came across these inexpensive wood frames in their discount bin. I thought they'd be great for crafting. I wanted to keep this simple so I left the frame the natural wood rather than painting it. I cut my pattern paper to fit the inside of the frame. I do find with inexpensive frames like this, you really want to cut to fit it as they tend not to be a standard measurement. The green pattern … [Read more...] about Merry
What Can I do with a Paper Pumpkin kit?
Periodically, people ask me what they should do with Paper Pumpkin kits they don't like. My suggestion is to use all the pieces to make something you love.

The directions have you use two of each snowman, tree, and presents - one on each side of the treat box. I … [Read more...] about What Can I do with a Paper Pumpkin kit?
One More Snowy Village
As I was working on my Ornament for the post this past Wednesday, I kept getting these beautiful backgrounds behind the trees. But with the ornament and Cloche Domes, you couldn't see much of the sky in the background. Today's card shows that gorgeous background and you can see more of the forest behind the village.

Onstage Make & Takes
Last Friday, I shared pictures from our recent OnStage event. But I realized I forgot to include pictures of our Make & Takes. Yes, even though the event was virtual, Stampin Up had Make & Takes for us if we wanted to purchase an add-on craft kit for our OnStage event. This was such a great idea. Those that didn't care for the kit, didn't have to purchase it. And those that wanted it, could. Of course, I bought the add-on kit. The kit … [Read more...] about Onstage Make & Takes
