I promised last week that I would start sharing the Display Projects that I made for OnStage very soon. And it's time to get the party started! One of the brand new Product Suites that will appear in the Occasions Catalog is the Party Animal Suite. Oh my goodness! You are going to love everything in this Suite. The Balloon adventures photopolymer stamp set comes with 17 stamps. I think my favorites in this set is the two piece banner that you … [Read more...] about OnStage Displays…Let’s Get This Party Started

Roadtrip Recap
Last Friday, the four of us hit the road for Phoenix. It's a long story, but we ended up having to take the Camaro. :) Yep, we fit the four of us and our luggage in the Camaro. Amazing! Probably not the best decision to take a car that gets only 12 miles to the gallon. But, our options were limited. At least it gave us a chance to stop at gas stations and stretch our legs (have you seen how small the backseat is in a Camaro?). At one … [Read more...] about Roadtrip Recap
Five Minute Friday
Every month I get together with my Stampin Up Downlines and it is one of my absolute favorite evenings of the month. These ladies get it. They understand and share in my crafty desire to play with stamps, ink, and paper and make things. It’s such a blessing to have these ladies in my life. Even if we were not Stampin Up Demonstrators any longer, I can't imagine not having them in my life. Last night was our May Downline meeting and it was a … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday
You’re Lovely
Yes, you really are! But only for a limited time! Okay, not really. You're lovely all the time! But this You're So Lovely stamp set is retiring at the end of the month. Do you have yours yet? If not, better get it ordered right away. Only a couple items on this card will be continued after June 1st: the gold ribbon, gold doilies, white card stock, green ink, and the pearls. Everything else is going. The white doilies are quite a bit … [Read more...] about You’re Lovely
Five Minute Friday – A Little Something for Mom
Still trying to come up a gift idea for your mom? One thing that doesn’t change is that mother’s appreciate the gift of time. Why? Because most mothers have learned how to juggle time commitments and therefore understand exactly how precious time is. How do you give the gift of time? You can either spend time together or take time to make something for her. My mom still likes getting handmade gifts from us. I know she appreciates the time we … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – A Little Something for Mom
Five Minute Friday
Today's Five Minute Friday is my final swap that I took to OnStage. This card looks small because it is! It's a 3x3 notecard size. This swap is specifically for 3x3 notecards so we are all trading the same mini creations. This rose is from the Picture Perfect stamp set. This rose is a 3-step stamp. It has three separate stamps with different layers of petals and you stamp each one in a slightly different color to get the shading effect. … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday
Work It Wednesday – Washi Tape
Today’s Tool is Washi Tape! If you’ve checked out Pinterest or any craft blogs, you’ll notice a new syndrome that’s become very common. It’s called Washi Hoarding. This is how it starts… you’re in a craft store and you happen upon the Wall O’ Washi Tape. It all looks so pretty in those fabulously organized rows. You decide you’re going to buy one roll. Hmmm, but which one to get? There’s two you really like. Actually they are not that expensive. … [Read more...] about Work It Wednesday – Washi Tape
One last Easter Treat
Just a quick post today. A couple weeks ago I shared an Easter treat bag that I'd come up with. You can see it here. Here is another version of this treat bag with a cute chickie stamp. So cute! He looks like he has a fuzzy belly! I love these adorable honeycombs. They come in white, blue, and pink. I colored the white ones yellow. Here are all the Easter treats I made for all of the place settings today. The little chickie is from … [Read more...] about One last Easter Treat
