Last week, I started playing with all the different stuff in the Painted Poppies Suite and I just couldn't stop myself. I have tons of ideas to share using these products. I'm starting with a quick and easy card for you today. This card makes great use of the fabulous pattern paper in the pack. I used the sheet that has a row of flowers across the bottom and the top of the sheet. This sheet is meant to be cut into sections like this to cover … [Read more...] about Stuck On Poppies

I Had This Lion Around
I just realized we are now more than halfway through the month of January and Valentine's is just a few weeks away. I'm trying to get some projects made quickly to share with you. One of my favorite products from the new Occasions/Spring Catalog are these cute heart-shaped tins. These tins are food safe and you can bake in them. I filled mine with candy since I didn't really have time to do any baking this weekend. I decorated … [Read more...] about I Had This Lion Around

Stampin Up Sent Me A Diamond
It’s Wednesday and I promised you an update on the plumbing saga so here goes. The plumber showed up Monday, but still couldn’t figure out which line was the problem so he called in reinforcements.

Mix It Up
On Friday I mentioned that I had a plumbing leak. I was seriously hoping it was a minor repair, but for the amount of water in my kitchen, hallway, and bathroom, I was sort of prepared that this wasn't going to be a quickie fix. Anyway, the plumber came out Friday and one of his comments was "I've never seen anything like this". Uh-oh. Not a good sign. After four+ hours, he still couldn't determine exactly where the leak was originating and left … [Read more...] about Mix It Up
How about a quickie?
Today's post needs to be short and sweet. I am currently in the midst of dealing with a major plumbing leak and need to get back to pulling up the flooring. There's so much water! Anyway, here is today's project, which can easily be whipped up so quick. I used the stamps, paper, and heart doilies from the From My Heart Suite and combined them with the Printed Cellophane Bags from the Birthday Bonanza Suite.Just fill the bags with candy … [Read more...] about How about a quickie?
