Easter is just three weeks away. I have a confession to make...I like buying Holiday candy. But there's no way I can eat everything I buy so I share it with family and friends. Today's project is a quick and easy goodie bag. These bags are a good size to fit a small chocolate bunny, lots of little chocolates, or even a small gift or gift card. To make this bag, you'll start with stamping your greeting across the bag. I … [Read more...] about Hoppy Easter!

Bunnies and Baskets
I started working on a couple Easter projects last week using the Basket Bunch Bundle. I love that the coordinating die set cuts out just about every image in this stamp set. This is such a time-saver. No more fussy cutting all those little details to go in your basket. Today's project is using the dies to make a 3-D Easter basket. If you've seen the basket image in the catalog, you'll know how small these baskets are. This finished basket … [Read more...] about Bunnies and Baskets
You’re My Favorite Peep
We are just a few short weeks away from Easter and it's time to get down to business already. Do you have your chocolate bunny picked out yet? If not, you better get moving. I was at the store a week ago and they were down to three bunnies and one was already broken. I've started stocking up on chocolate eggs like I'm preparing for a blizzard: dark chocolate, peanut butter, mint... There is one Easter candy that I almost never buy. … [Read more...] about You’re My Favorite Peep
Sweet Sugarplum Dragonflies
This past weekend I worked at the Just Crop Retreat again. I love having the opportunity to share what I love with a room full of crafters. I always feel good after spending the day with fellow crafters. One of my Make & Takes this past Saturday was a Mother's Day card. This card uses the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and coordinating framelets. I saw a similar color scheme with the Sweet Sugarplum paper and die cut dragonfly on the Stampin … [Read more...] about Sweet Sugarplum Dragonflies
Lucky You
The month of March is full of all sorts of good things, like the First Day of Spring, the start of Spring Soccer season, and St. Patrick's Day. Spring is right around the corner, we're starting to see more days over 75'. And being in SoCal, it's pretty much soccer season all the time. Today, let's focus on St. Patrick's Day. Did you know St. Patrick's Day officially began back in the 1700s and it was started in New York - not Ireland? … [Read more...] about Lucky You
Around and Around We Go…
Do you remember those old tv shows where you'd see a person balancing a plate on top of stick and then he’d spin it? Then he’d add another plate and spin it too. Then he'd add a couple more plates and get them spinning too. All while trying to keep the first plates spinning at the same time. Eventually, he might have a dozen plates all spinning together. His goal was to keep them all going without a single one falling and … [Read more...] about Around and Around We Go…
Hello! Bonjour! Guten Tag!
When the time change hits and the weather starts to get nicer, I immediately start thinking vacation! Not that we can just run off any go anytime we want - that pesky school schedule keeps us tied to home most of the year. But I can certainly dream about far off places. The stamp set Chase Your Dreams has some great images of New York, Germany, England, France, and Australia, some of my favorite places! One of my favorite places is the … [Read more...] about Hello!

Five Minute Friday – Inside The Lines
Today I have good news and bad news... As you know, Sale-abration will be over in just a couple weeks. The bad news is that the Sale-abration products are now available only while supplies last. In fact, that gorgeous Gold Card Tin is now sold out. When you're shopping, be sure to have a second Sale-abration item picked out just in case your first choice is sold out. The good news is that today is Five Minute … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Inside The Lines
