One of my favorite stamp sets from the Sale-a-bration Catalog is the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. I think Dahlia flowers are so gorgeous in real life. The Dahlia stamp is a pretty good representation of the actual flower. For today's card, I colored it in using our alcohol markers, the Stampin Blends. I colored two of the flowers in the Pale Papaya light and dark Blends and added in a touch of Flirty Flamingo. For the top flower, I used Flirty … [Read more...] about Delicate Dahlias

It’s A Party
Even though it's Monday, we're going to kick off the week with a party. This cute sheep stopped by to wish you a Happy Birthday. Not your birthday? That's ok, we'll just pretend. Today's sheep is kicking up her heels and has her party hat all ready to go. And just in case you didn't notice her out standing in her field, she's waving flags to catch your attention. Ha! There are a number of great items in the Sale-a-bration Catalog. This … [Read more...] about It’s A Party
And the Olympics Are Over
This Wednesday I shared my Gold Medal Ribbon winning Sheep (you can see that post here). I hear Fence Jumping has some serious competition and the practices are rigorous. It seems the judges tend to fall asleep as they count the sheep jumping over the fence. Ha! Okay, sorry, lame joke. After reading the post, my Mom suggested I should make one more Olympic themed card in honor of the end of the Olympics. Well, I loved her idea. … [Read more...] about And the Olympics Are Over
Gold Medal Sheep
I'm kicking off my Sale-a-bration sharing with a nod to the Summer Olympics. My lovely little sheep just won a gold medal in fence jumping. Ha! I did my best adding what's supposed to look like a gold medal around the neck. I think it's good enough. The Counting Sheep stamp set and the Sheep Dies are both Sale-a-bration items. Plus the gold medal is made from the Be Dazzling Sale-a-bration paper too. The Sheep Die set is pretty amazing. It … [Read more...] about Gold Medal Sheep
Starting Tomorrow
Our Holiday Catalog starts tomorrow! Can you believe we are already eight months into the year? I don't know where the year has gone, but here we are getting ready for another school year and the Holidays are quickly approaching. I have my fingers crossed that Holiday Season 2021 is going to be better than Holiday Season 2020 (thanks, Covid). Every year, when I receive the Holiday Catalog, I debate over and over what to make first. I'm dying … [Read more...] about Starting Tomorrow
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!
Final Holiday Round Up
As we approach the end of the year, I want to share a couple Holiday projects that I didn’t get a chance to share sooner. Most of these products are still available from the Holiday Catalog, but the Holiday Catalog does end January 2nd. If there is anything else you can’t live without, this is your last chance to get it. First up is Christmas card using that beautiful Toile pattern paper. I made a bunch of these cards for a customer so I needed … [Read more...] about Final Holiday Round Up
Too Good Not To Share
Yes, I get it. Christmas was a few days ago, but I still have more Holiday stuff that's just too good not to share with you. You can always use these ideas for next year. In one of the past Stampin Up Demonstrator Magazines, they showed a project that was stamping on pre-cut wood slices. I just loved the idea so I kept the article handy knowing I would need it closer to the Holidays. These ornaments turned out to be just the cutest! I bought … [Read more...] about Too Good Not To Share
