For the next couple weeks, I'll be sharing some of my favorite products that are retiring along with something brand new! This week is the Watercolor Thank You stamp set and Sketched Dots Bags. I'm seriously going to miss both of those items. I had several packages of the Bags and now I'm just about out. I love how they are the perfect size for a couple treats or something slightly larger than your standard "fun size" chocolates. I filled … [Read more...] about Hello and Goodbye!
Annual Catalog & Idea Book
Five Minute Friday
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you already know that I was selected to be one of the stampers that made projects for display at OnStage. I was truly honored to be selected. And humbled when I met the other artists and realized that a number of them are current and previous Artisan Award winners. My assignment for the display projects was to make 20 items focusing on the five 2015-17 In Colors. We were to make one 3D, one scrapbook … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday
The Retirement List is Here
Every year, Stampin Up comers out with a new Annual Idea Book & Catalog. This means we get tons of new goodies every year. Yay! This also means that we lose tons of goodies every year to make room for those new products. Boo! The Retirement list was released on Monday 4/18. I've now had a chance to go through it and I'm seriously going to miss some of these products that are going away. Ugh. In honor of the retiring list, I'm sharing in no … [Read more...] about The Retirement List is Here

Happy Monday!
Only two more sleeps until I leave for OnStage on Wednesday! Yay! This week, I'm sharing my swaps that I'm taking with me to OnStage. I have to be honest...making swaps this year was a little tricky. In past years, the retiring products list would come out weeks before we left and we'd get a small preview list that we could purchase from prior to Convention. This year, the retiring products list comes out after Convention - same with the … [Read more...] about Happy Monday!
Work It Wednesday – Exacto Knife
I had to share this awesome idea I received from Lyndi at our last Demonstrator Meeting. This was the swap she made for our last get together. I thought this would be a perfect share for Work It Wednesday since it uses a specific tool: the exacto knife. Stampin Up no longer sells an exacto knife, but you can find them at craft stores or office supply stores. They come in lots of styles and shapes. Here is a picture of the card closed. Notice … [Read more...] about Work It Wednesday – Exacto Knife
Is it Monday already?
Today's post is going to be short. I've been super busy creating projects that will be on display at OnStage next week! Time is flying by and I still have a couple more to make. I absolutely can't wait to share those projects here, but it will have to wait until Stampin Up gives me the okay. I made this card several months ago but didn't get a chance to share it here. This card is not one of the items that will be on display next week. Want to … [Read more...] about Is it Monday already?
Five Minute Friday
Hooray for another Five Minute Friday! I love the weekly challenge of coming up a project that can be replicated in 5 minutes or less. As I’ve said before, with five minute cards, you can’t use every supply you own. That really helps when it comes to making these cards because you only want to use a few select items. My creative process starts with the stamp set when it comes to these cards. Then I pick a card base and colors. I am a big fan of … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday
