It's time to reveal the September Sampler kit - Globe Trotter. Traveling is near and dear to my heart. In my Sampler kits, I've already covered a number of types of travel, like cruising, camping, and road trips. But traveling by airplane will always be my favorite. There's just something magical about flying through the air to someplace far away. I need to give a shout out to my daughter, Maddie, who suggested the title this month. I think … [Read more...] about September Sampler-Globe Trotter

From Tags to a Banner
As soon as I saw the Festive Tag kit, I knew it would make an adorable banner for the Holidays. The kit comes with five different styles of tags, which worked perfectly to use the word "Merry". To make this banner, I used my Countryside Corners and Alphabet A La Mode dies. I used the middle Countryside Corner hexagon die. I trimmed most of the Festive Tag bases to fit the hexagon. I also cut off the loop on the top of all the tags since I … [Read more...] about From Tags to a Banner

August Sampler-Sundae Funday
Ice cream is my weakness. I can easily pass up cake, pies, cookies, pastries, but ice cream is my favorite. This month's Sampler is an homage to my favorite dessert and it's these Neapolitan colors! Whether your favorite is ice cream cones, sundaes, or milkshakes, there are so many options for this yummy dessert. Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out every month … [Read more...] about August Sampler-Sundae Funday
July Paper Pumpkin-Fun In The Sun
July's kit is so adorable. This is the first time we've had a unique fun fold card in the kit and this one is just too cute. I love the beachy theme of this kit. The fold did take me a minute to figure out, but once I knew what I was doing these came together really quickly. And because I haven't featured her in awhile, here's a behind the scenes look at my Number 1 Assistant Frannie (#bestassistantever), helping me set up today's picture. … [Read more...] about July Paper Pumpkin-Fun In The Sun
July Sampler-Fair Fun
Summer is all about County Fairs. There is so much to do at a fair that it was a bit of a challenge to capture the best parts of it in my sampler. There are always lots of rides, some for little kids and some for big kids. There are lots of different food options. Fair foods have really gone crazy over the years with deep-fried everything. I stuck with the classics - cotton candy and giant pretzels. And, of course, there's nothing quite like the … [Read more...] about July Sampler-Fair Fun
