I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see another stamp set in the Catalog with craft supplies. The Follow Your Art Suite has just the cutest combination of craft supplies and pattern paper. I had die cut a bunch of extra pieces for the card in a box I shared on Wednesday and I still had a bunch of those mini clipboards sitting around. I knew the clipboard would be perfect for a smaller version of the card in a box. I used the same mini … [Read more...] about Follow Your Heart

Daisy Lane
Last year sometime (or maybe it was the year before?), I found these mini clipboards on sale at a local craft store. So of course I bought half a dozen of them even though I had no idea what I was actually going to do with them. I knew I needed them because they were on sale. I just didn't know what I needed them for. Do you do this too: buy it on sale because you know you're going to need it someday? Well, I finally used one of them. Only five … [Read more...] about Daisy Lane
Not Just Another Boring Album
I was recently talking about our Memories and More scrapbooking line with a friend. She mentioned that she liked the idea of the pocket pages that make scrapbooking so much quicker, but she was not in love with the plain 6x8 albums. Her words… “who wants a plain brown book?”. And I totally agree! Nobody wants a plain, boring book. That’s for sure. Then I explained to her how I decorate my covers. I'm glad the albums are plain so I can make … [Read more...] about Not Just Another Boring Album
A Trip Down Magnolia Lane…
One of the perks of being a Stampin Up Demonstrator is getting early access to new products. I love that I can order supplies in advance so I can get started playing with new things right away. My number one item from the new Catalog that starts on June 4th is the Magnolia Lane Suite. Yes, the entire Suite. Stampin Up did an incredible job on this Suite making sure everything coordinated beautifully. Since they arrived a few weeks ago, the … [Read more...] about A Trip Down Magnolia Lane…
Happy Belated Mother’s Day!
I usually try to share gift and card ideas before the actual date so you can have a chance to recreate them for your own gift-giving. However, I had to hold the pictures of my Mother's Day gift for my mom until after I gave it to her. I'm sure you understand. I think one of the prettiest Suites in the upcoming new Catalog is the Magnolia Lane Suite. This Suite has a gorgeous stamp set and coordinating dies, fabulous pattern paper, and … [Read more...] about Happy Belated Mother’s Day!
Downline Gifts
For each OnStage event, I like to give my Downline that attend a little something. The Stampin Up Mini Pizza boxes are perfect for a couple small treats. This time I included a couple Ghiradelli chocolates, and set of page flags, and a mini highlighter for marking their favorites in the new Catalog. The pizza boxes are perfect for decorating. I wrap the paper around the outside of the box without taping it to the box so they can just … [Read more...] about Downline Gifts

July Paper Pumpkin Sampler
I love the adorable little picnic baskets that came in the July Paper Pumpkin kit. But I don't really have a lot of room to store 3D projects like that in my studio. Seriously, I would be overrun if I kept one of everything. Still, I really wanted to enjoy the look of the picnic basket and knew a Sampler would be perfect to display something like this. I took most of the various pieces from the July kit to make my 12x12 Sampler. I used the … [Read more...] about July Paper Pumpkin Sampler
