Merry Mice and Stitched Dies
Oh my, oh my! Those Stitched Dies! Let me be the first to ask you, why haven't you bought these yet? They add that little bit of je ne sais quois (thank you high school French). Seriously, now I want to go back and remake every card from the last couple months using these dies. Ok maybe not every card. Check out these two cards. This first card does not use the Stitched Dies. No doubt about it, it's definitely cute. But this one is with the … [Read more...] about Merry Mice and Stitched Dies
Five Minute Friday
Happy Five Minute Friday! I’ve sure missed posting these the last couple weeks and I have a great one for you today! This project will be one of my Make & Takes at the Just Crop Retreats tomorrow. If you’re looking for some time away from home with girlfriends, Rachel does an excellent job with these retreats. Next year, there will be seven retreat weekends, lots of dates to choose from. When I first received my Holiday Catalog, I saw the … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday
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
One Last Halloween Hurrah
Happy Halloween! Today I'm sharing my final Halloween project for the year. This is a quick and simple card you can make for your favorite little monster. This pumpkin is from the Jar of Haunts stamp set. After I stamped my pumpkin, I used my aqua painter to add a little Smoky Slate to make a "ground" for the pumpkin to sit on. It's a little hard to see, but there is a mini tassel tied onto the Halloween Bakers Twine.Sorry today's post is so … [Read more...] about One Last Halloween Hurrah
Hooray, Hooray, Today is the Day!
The Holiday Boutique is finally here. It starts this afternoon and continues all day Saturday. I have been a crazy crafting fiend lately. After all the long hours I've put into creating products for the booth, I am so thankful that I wasn't the only person creating products. Making one of something doesn't take a lot of time. But making a dozen or even several dozen of something takes hours. And hours. Several weeks ago, I shared my Fall … [Read more...] about Hooray, Hooray, Today is the Day!
It’s Crunch Time
And no, I'm not referring to those awful exercises. I'm talking about the last week before the Holiday Boutique and working on my projects for the OnStage Displays in three weeks (yikes!). Everything else is on the back burner for now. I'm foreseeing more than a few late nights in the coming weeks. Here is a quick peak at my progress this past weekend... Lots of antlers and gold paint. Those four gold circles are actually slices from a … [Read more...] about It’s Crunch Time
Fall Weather is Finally Here (for the next three days)
Our Fall weather really doesn't start until October 31st but we have had some chilly evenings the last couple days and we'll have a couple more this week. Yay! There is nothing better than opening the windows on a nice cool Fall evening. It makes me want to snuggle up under the blankets with my heater. :) By Thursday, it'll be 95' again here. Ugh. It's so hard to make Fall cards and projects when you're wearing shorts and flip flops and have … [Read more...] about Fall Weather is Finally Here (for the next three days)
