With the end of the 2023-24 Annual Catalog comes a whole group of products that will be retired - any of the 2022-24 In Color products: Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky, and Orchid Oasis. This includes any ink, paper, and embellishments in those colors will be retired. If you were waiting to stock up on of these products, I recommend getting them as quickly as possible. Our In Color products tend to sell out quickly. … [Read more...] about Retiring In Colors
January-April Catalog
It Looks Like a Dole Whip
One of my favorite treats at Disneyland is the Dole Whip. There is no ice cream quite like it. It's so soft and creamy. The pineapple flavor is delicious without being overpowering. I can't go to Disneyland every day, so I made my own cup of Dole Whip. If you want to make your own ice creams, you definitely need the Ice Cream Swirl bundle. This bundle makes the cutest ice cream cones. Click the Shop button on the right and it will take … [Read more...] about It Looks Like a Dole Whip
Ice Cream Swirl
My favorite dessert is ice cream. I can easily pass up cake and pie. But ice cream... it's so hard to resist. There's just something about a dish of ice cream that I love. The Ice Cream Swirl bundle in the January-April Catalog is a fun set. It has stamps and dies to make a variety of ice cream combinations. I paired it with the A Little Latte pattern paper that's available online. The swirl in the pattern makes a perfect background for … [Read more...] about Ice Cream Swirl
You Mean So Much…
I'm back today with another card using the Enduring Beauty bundle. I love these flowers in yellow. They are so pretty. I used the stencils again to color the flowers. Each layer has it's own stencil, which makes it so quick and easy to color everything. I've seen a copy of our brand new Annual Catalog that starts in May and it has another stamp bundle that includes a stencil to make the coloring so much easier. The Enduring Beauty … [Read more...] about You Mean So Much…

I highly recommend giving this bundle a try. Enduring Beauty … [Read more...] about Enduring Beauty
Making It Simple
On Wednesday, I shared this amazing card. I love the complexity of it. But, what if you don't have time to make something as fancy with all the different layers and pieces? You can easily scale back on this version. Here is similar card with fewer layers. This card is one that can be easily replicated if you need to make several of them or maybe you just don't have time to add all the extras. I hope you enjoyed seeing two different … [Read more...] about Making It Simple
Happy Wednesday
I promised another hot air balloon card and here it is. I've got to say, I'm loving the pastels in the pattern paper. They are such a breath of fresh air. I had a hard time deciding what colors to use for the balloon, but I love how it turned out. Have you ever ridden in a hot air balloon? I have once and it was exhilarating. It's definitely something I would do again and I'm not fond of heights. Would you ever take shot air balloon ride? … [Read more...] about Happy Wednesday
We Are So Close!
March 19th is the first day of Spring. Only 18 more days to go. We've had a really wet Winter and I cannot wait for Spring. It's been days and days of rain this Winter. And bonus... Daylight savings is only 10 days away. I'm looking for longer days very soon. With longer days and warmer weather on the horizon, it seems like the perfect occasion for a hot air ballon ride. I'm using the hot air balloon dies this time, layering them together. … [Read more...] about We Are So Close!
