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
Thankful…
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the States. It's a day to remember everything for which we are thankful. The basics are easy to remember... family, friends, and our health. But there is so much more to be thankful for like having a roof over our heads and food on our table. As you sit down to your Thanksgiving meal, take a moment to remember family and friends, near and far. And say a blessing for all the good in your life. As a … [Read more...] about Thankful…

Before I jump into today's project, I need to tell you about Stampin Up's one day stamp sale. There are more than 50 stamp sets that are 15% off today only. Sale ends at 10:50 pm PST tonight.

Just DIY It!
What do you do when you can’t find just the right color of pattern paper? Well, you just make your own with your stamps! Making your own pattern paper is such a simple technique. And no two pieces of paper will be the exact same, which means your card is truly one of a kind. For this card, I started with one leaf and stamped it repeatedly across the card stock. Then the next leaf, and then the third leaf. The leaves are colored using Stampin … [Read more...] about Just DIY It!

Second Round of Thank You’s
On Friday I shared my September Customer Thank You card. You can see that card here. I had several customers that made more than one purchase during the month so I wanted to send them a different thank you card for the second order. This time I used the Come To Gather Suite of products. The background of this card is stamped in both the Delicata Gold and Copper stamp pads. The Delicata ink dries amazingly well and doesn't smear like some … [Read more...] about Second Round of Thank You’s
