Tonight I will be at the Create Pop Up event in Anaheim. If you're local to Orange County, you should stop by. Tonight's event will be from 5-7 and you can drop in any time during those hours. I will be there with Make and Takes and, kits, and craft projects already completed. Here is my Make & Take for tonight. Just a couple quick highlights about the card. The gray strip on the left is embossed using the brand new Tin Tile … [Read more...] about Create Pop Up
Fall
Break Out Your Plaid
Now that it's officially Fall, it's perfectly acceptable to cover your porch in pumpkins and hay bales. I love the bright Fall colors you see everywhere, but here in SoCal our Fall is typically 80's, if not 90's. It doesn't usually get quite cold enough to turn our trees to the bright Fall colors you see in other States. But, the leaves definitely Fall off the trees. Since the trees in my yard are still bright green, I've got to make my … [Read more...] about Break Out Your Plaid
Five Minute Friday – Blended Seasons
Today I'm sharing a brand new product that became available August 1st and will be available only through the end of the month (or while supplies last). It's so exciting when we get these special limited-time releases. This stamp set has a variety of images and sentiments that will carry you through the year. We've got flowers, holly, and Fall leaves. Since Fall is right around the corner, my first card naturally used the Fall leaves. To make … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Blended Seasons
It’s Still Fall
Remember all those leaves that I die cut a few weeks ago? This is the project for which they were intended. I made several of these Fall wall hangings for the Boutiques I was working this year. I knew I needed a bunch of leaves, but wasn’t totally sure of how many and in what colors. So, I die cut a lot of leaves, using up tons of scrap paper. I may have gotten a little carried away...I found the burlap canvases at a local store and covered them … [Read more...] about It’s Still Fall
Five Minute Friday – September Thanks
So I’m a little behind getting out my thank you cards to customers that made a purchase in September. But, better late than never! Actually, I did mail them earlier this week. I wanted to give them a chance to arrive before I posted the card here. These cards are very quick to make, especially if you already die cut a bunch of these leaves and haven’t used them on other projects yet. The Jute twine is wrapped around the Crumb Cake … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – September Thanks
New Class To Go – Fall Banner
So Fall actually started ten days ago, but I am just getting around to adding some Fall decor to the house. It's been 85'+ most of the last two weeks so it's a little tough to get into the mood of "sweater weather" when it's really closer to "sweaty weather". To help put everyone in the mood for chillier weather, I am releasing my next Class To Go, which is the Fall Banner. And you are going to love this quick and easy project that I've … [Read more...] about New Class To Go – Fall Banner
Five Minute Friday – It’s PSL Time
Okay, I admit it. I am addicted to coffee. I love all different flavors and styles. My favorite is a Flat White, closely followed by a Latte or Cafe au Lait. Mochas? I'm there. Blended? Yep. Hot? Of course. Iced? Definitely. But there is one coffee I am not fond of even though I try to convince myself every year when all the hubbub starts. It is the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I feel like I'm missing something because everyone I know loves it. … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – It’s PSL Time
So Thankful
I made it back from OnStage yesterday. I always feel like I need a vacation once our vacation is over. We end up staying up way too late and we always have to get up early to get going in the morning. I might have to get a tshirt that says: I survived! I promise I will share some photos from our OnStage experience very soon. And I can’t share my projects that I made for the displays for a few more days. Don’t worry, I have lots of other … [Read more...] about So Thankful
