Happy Monday! It's time to reveal September's Sampler kit, which is Apple Season! I remember that when I was growing up, my family would do a day trip to Apple country every Fall. We'd eat lunch at the same restaurant every year, visit the same apple farm, and eat apple pie at the same place. Then when my kids were young, we did the same with them. We found a great apple farm, that had a huge lawn that the kids could run around. We'd play … [Read more...] about September Sampler-Apple Season
Fall is Coming
We are getting closer and closer to the official first day of Fall in just twelve more days. It's been so hot lately, I'm looking forward to some cooler weather. Although I'm a little less excited about cold and flu season this year. Today's card uses some of the products from the new Blackberry Beauty Suite. The pattern paper in this Suite is just the most gorgeous Fall colors with tons of gold foiling. Just look at the flowers below with … [Read more...] about Fall is Coming
July Thank You’s
Hello and welcome to another episode of Diane is running behind again. Seriously! I had my July Customer Thank you cards ready to go a little while ago, but just managed to drop them off at the Post Office. Rest assured, I've already started on the August Thank You's and here's hoping that they make it to the Post Office before November. Sheesh! This thank you card might look a bit familiar. That's because I took the idea from the mini … [Read more...] about July Thank You’s

Harvest Meadow
Happy Fri-Yay! I'm particularly happy this Friday since we are heading into a long weekend here in the US. It's always fabulous having an extra day off work. Today I'm sharing a project using one of our Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes. I love these little boxes for gift giving. The decoration for this box is all attached to the wrap around the outside of the box. This allows the person to open the box without ripping apart the pretty … [Read more...] about Harvest Meadow
Penguin Place
One of the cutest bundles in the July-December Catalog is the Penguin Place stamp set and coordinating punch. The stamp set comes with two different penguins and a bunch of accessories to add on.

The giant iridescent snowflake doilie really … [Read more...] about Penguin Place
August Paper Pumpkin-Hope Box
August's Paper Pumpkin Kit is this fabulous Hope Box. Oh my goodness, the three cards are just so very pretty. I absolutely love the one with the flowers and swirls and butterflies with the Hope in the center. I think this would make a lovely card for a friend who needs a little cheer. Plus this is one of the collector boxes with the fancy designs and it even has decorations to decorate the outside of the box. Check out the giant butterfly! … [Read more...] about August Paper Pumpkin-Hope Box
