I'm back today with another project using the classic Cloche stamp set. I love the tiny snowy village in this stamp set.. the serene look of the tiny houses all blanketed with snow. That gorgeous pattern paper is from the Peaceful Place Suite along with the matching Subtle Shimmer Sequins. The sequins are not self-adhesive, but they are so pretty and so worth the effort to glue them down individually. I used this card for my September … [Read more...] about Snowy Village

Friends Like You…
Make life a joy! The Joyful Life stamp set is one of those hidden gems in the back of the Holiday Catalog. The images so cute but there is no matching die or punch to coordinate. I know a lot of people will pass this up just because it doesn't have matching dies. But don't let that stop you from getting this set. This set has the cutest critter stamps. I just love the bear and bunny taking the bike out for spin among the Fall leaves. This … [Read more...] about Friends Like You…
Pretty Pillowbox
When a new Catalog comes out, I'm always looking for new packaging ideas. I'm not sure how I missed this one, considering it's near the very front of the July-December Catalog. Possibly because it's in with a Christmas Suite of products and I hadn't really started looking at the Holiday stuff yet. The pillbox die is a larger die and it does not fit in our Mini die cut machine. You'll need a full size die cut machine for this one. The … [Read more...] about Pretty Pillowbox

All those pretty cards and projects I post start out with a mess that looks pretty similar to this. Maybe not … [Read more...] about It’s Just Like A Crime Scene

Happy New Year!
Our family has always had this thing for penguins. When my son was two, I bought him a small stuffed penguin that he took everywhere. It was his lovey. He became so attached to it, that we'd have conversations about what would happen if it was lost somewhere, or how to distract him when it had a much-needed bath. I did what any normal mother would do... I bought four more exactly alike so we'd have spare loveys to last a … [Read more...] about Happy New Year!
