I wanted to use up those leaves I punched out last week and this is what I came up with. It's an adorable mini wreath about 8" across. I didn't quite use all of the punched leaves, but I did use most of them. Once I had a my leaves ready to go, making the wreath went pretty quickly. I used a hot glue gun to attach everything to the wood wreath. Now I have a lovely Fall decor piece, ready to hang up on my wall. Simple Leaf … [Read more...] about Happy Fall

Too Spooky!
I was at a retreat last weekend and hosted a class for the attendees. I debated whether or not it was too early for a Halloween project, but decided to go with it since I was inspired. I used one of our Standing Clipboards - you can find these in our Online Exclusives section and they come in a three pack. The two little ghosts and the cat are cut from our pattern paper. The large ghost is stamped and die cut. The tree is from the … [Read more...] about Too Spooky!
Annual Ornament
Every year, I make ornaments for an amazing group of friends. I usually make a snow globe ornament with a winter scene inside. This year I used the Fluffy Squirrel stamp set to feature inside my snow globe. I've been making ornaments for more than 10 years now. Here are a bunch of them that I've made through the years. These are a lot of fun to make although I realized this year that it is a bit of a challenge to come up with something new … [Read more...] about Annual Ornament
Finished!
Last week, I shared a project that I was working on, an advent calendar that is a village of tiny houses. I was able to finish all the decorations on my tiny village over the weekend. I added a lot of snow to the village, both to the rooftops and to the ground. I used almost a half a bottle of glue on the snow. You can see a close up view of the snow on the village below. I found some miniature deer and wreaths that I added as well. … [Read more...] about Finished!

Queen Of Unfinished Projects
Yep, that's me. Every Christmas Holiday, I have a list of things I want to make and it usually takes me longer than I anticipate to complete each project. I bought this particular item back in August and it's been sitting on my counter waiting to be decorated. I started working on it right after Thanksgiving weekend and was able to decorate most of it. But then ran out of time to complete it. And there it still sits on my counter, waiting … [Read more...] about Queen Of Unfinished Projects
Once Last Delivery!
I really like using these little frames to make small home decor pieces. I can use them by themselves or group it with some other small decor pieces or add it to my tiered tray. There are so many places I can use these. I love how the bunny is in such a hurry, the cards are flying out the back of his truck. I promise, this is the last Jolly Delivery project I'm posting... at least for this week. I have really enjoyed using this Suite, but it … [Read more...] about Once Last Delivery!
Happy Halloween!
Last month, I shared a framed Halloween project. You can see it below. I really like this project, but it was time consuming to make since I stamped and colored the animals in it. I knew I could make a version of this that would be quicker and easier to replicate. The pattern paper in the Spooky Sweet Suite included a sheet of the characters already colored. This made it so much easier to put this together. Now that we've made it to … [Read more...] about Happy Halloween!
