As we count down to Mother's Day (five more days!), I have another project you can make for the mom that tells you "you don't have to get me anything". In the Occasions Catalog, there is a 3D box using the Apron dies. I really liked the idea of using the apron to make a box. This is a great idea to fill with a sweet treat for mom. It's big enough for a few candies or a gift card or both. Here is the Apron Box.The dimensions of the box are 2" wide … [Read more...] about Send Mom Some Love

Apron Of Love
The smell of vanilla mixed with brown sugar and butter will always remind me of baking with my mom when I was little. My favorite was chocolate chip cookies. One of my jobs was opening the package of chips and adding them to the mix. Then mixing in the chips and scooping it out onto trays. Then came the tough decision... Do I make just a few big cookies or lots of little cookies? Mother's Day is next weekend and the Apron of Love bundle … [Read more...] about Apron Of Love
Five Minute Friday – We Make A Great Pear
The Tutti-Frutti Suite in the Occasions catalog is the sweetest thing yet. I love the itty bitty fruit stamps, the itty bitty coordinating punches, and the itty bitty stamp pads. This Suite is jam-packed with vibrant, delicious colors. The Tutti-Frutti pattern paper is absolutely mouthwatering. With these snack-sized fruit images, I can’t wait to get creating. Okay, enough with the puns! The Fruit Basket stamp set contains all the little pieces … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – We Make A Great Pear
Today’s The Day…
I am on my way to OnStage in Las Vegas! I am so excited. I cannot wait to see friends from around the Country. I love attending these events with my Downline and this time there are four of us going.

World Autism Awareness Day
Today is World Autism Awareness Day and I've joined up with 50 other Stampin Up Demonstrators from around the world to share this special day. We are going Blue to celebrate people with autism and the people who support and care for them. The statistics on the number of children diagnosed on the autism spectrum every year is staggering, affecting an estimated 1 in 88 births. This means that roughly 1.5 million Americans today have some … [Read more...] about World Autism Awareness Day
Monarchs Are My Favorite
I love butterflies. Whenever I get a new butterfly stamp, my go-to colors are the colors of the Monarch butterfly. The rich orange and deep black colors are always so striking. Did you know millions of Monarchs from all over the US and Canada migrate to one single location in Mexico every Fall? Some of these butterflies are traveling close to 3000 miles to reach warmer climates for the Winter. This is truly amazing. They look so delicate yet … [Read more...] about Monarchs Are My Favorite
Bunny Box
Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail... Easter is on it's way! In case you haven't looked at a calendar recently, Easter is this coming Sunday! It's hard to believe it's already here. For Easter, I love making little treat holders. I try to make a variety that will hold slightly larger treats and some that hold smaller treats. Today, I'm playing around with the Tiny Treat boxes. One trick when making these is to wrap … [Read more...] about Bunny Box
It’s a Beautiful Day
I've come to the realization that we are now almost half way through the Occasions Catalog sales period and I still have a handful of OnStage Display projects from last November that I have not yet shared. Whoops. I probably should have shared them weeks ago, but they just kept getting bumped for other more timely projects. One of my favorite stamps sets from the Occasions catalog is the Beautiful Day stamp set. It has this massive … [Read more...] about It’s a Beautiful Day
