Today I’m sharing another Valentine’s card that’s got more wow factor and uses the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit. Can I share a secret? Last year, I would have hoarded this little box of goodies and not shared it with anyone because it’s just so adorable. Look at those cute ribbon paperclips! And the gold foil hearts? I’m in love. This year, I’m using it up so I have a (real) reason to buy another box. Who am I kidding? I would have bought … [Read more...] about There’s Enough Love For Everybody

Share the Love
It’s coming soon…February 14th, Valentine’s Day. This is the date that people exchange candy, flowers, gifts all in the name of love. Some people call this a “Hallmark Holiday”, a holiday specifically created to promote the commercialism of giving cards and gifts. But, do you really know how Valentine’s Day got its start? Who was Valentine? And how did he get associated with love? One legend says that Valentine was a priest that married young … [Read more...] about Share the Love
Let’s Get Away
I won’t be packing up my stamps to hit the road (read about that here). But that’s a good thing because then I don’t have to pick and choose what to take with me. I’m kind of bummed that I won’t be the jetsetter that I was hoping to be though. I’ll be at the back of the plane in coach with all the other people that didn’t win the lottery. In honor of the travel bug that I have, I’m sharing one of the new sets from the Occasions catalog, Going … [Read more...] about Let’s Get Away
If I win the lottery tonight, I will…
Have you heard the news? The lottery is up to a crazy amount of money tonight. Something like $1,400,000,000. That’s a heck of a lot of zeros behind that $1,4. It’s so much money, it’s almost scary. My hubby and I are not gamblers and we are not regular lottery players. Nothing against those that are, but we’ve always felt spending our money on a sure thing (like paying for child care or food) was a better use for us. However, with the lottery … [Read more...] about If I win the lottery tonight, I will…
Did you hear the news?
The Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration started yesterday!!! I love this time of year. Every time I buy something, Stampin Up lets me pick out a free goodie. Who am I kidding? I usually get at least two free goodies because I usually can't decide which item I want free so I buy enough to get two (ok, maybe three) free. So, here's how it works: spend $50 pre-tax and shipping and you get to pick out one item for free. Spend $100 pre-tax and … [Read more...] about Did you hear the news?
Beautiful Ride
Exciting news - the brand new Occasions Catalog starts tomorrow and Sale-abration begins too! Yay! This is when Stampin Up gives you free goodies for every $50 increment you spend (pre-tax and shipping). Who doesn't love free stuff? And since you were already going to pick up a few items, you might as well spend $50 so you can get your free item too! Back in November, I attended a Demonstrator Event hosted by Stampin Up and received "Beautiful … [Read more...] about Beautiful Ride
A Little Thanks Goes A Long Way
Now that Christmas has past, I’m in need of some thank you cards to send out. I wanted something quick and easy and mail-able without extra postage. Don’t get me wrong – I love cards with lots of layers and embellishments. But they are typically not something I want to make half a dozen of. And then I take the chance of them being crushed in the mail or requiring extra postage. Ugh. I was looking through the Stampin Up Sale-aBration Catalog … [Read more...] about A Little Thanks Goes A Long Way
April Card Class
This Wednesday is the April Card Class! We're going to work in a few quick Easter projects before the weekend so you'll be all ready for this Sunday! The first is a Mini Garden Flag. The class fee does not include the flag holder, but I do have a couple extra on hand if you'd like to purchase one for $5.00. The second item is the adorable Easter basket. And don't worry, you won't go home with an empty basket. I have the grass, plastic egg, and … [Read more...] about April Card Class
