I love it when Stampin Up comes out with a brand new product. There is nothing quite like playing with something new that you've never tried before. One of the preview products that I had for OnStage last Fall was Brusho. When I received it, I had never heard of this product. I had to google it and then I watched a couple videos on how it's used. Apparently Brusho has been around for awhile. Once I started playing around with it, I … [Read more...] about A Rainbow of Brusho

We’ll Always Have Paris
Do you remember those days back when you were younger, and you could just decide to take off for the weekend? You'd grab some clothes and throw them in a bag and hit the road. Maybe you had an idea of where you were going to end up. Maybe you were just winging it, figuring you'd stop somewhere that looked interesting. That, my friends, is called being spontaneous. It's funny how life creeps in and a decade (or two) later, you're … [Read more...] about We’ll Always Have Paris
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
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
Stampin Blends Markers
First, I want to thank everyone that took advantage of my Birthday Special this past weekend. I'll be getting the pearls and rhinestones out in the next week or so. I've recently had a number of questions about the Stampin Blends markers that were released this past Fall. The Stampin Blends markers are an alcohol ink based marker. They are great for shading and adding depth of color to your project. Here is one of the brand new … [Read more...] about Stampin Blends Markers
T-Minus 14 Days…
I think last Friday I promised we'd have mermaids this week. Well, the mermaids are a little delayed. You know what an ever-elusive creature they are. I'll do my best to have them rounded up by next week. And now for something completely different... These four cards are a series of 3x3" love notes that I made for the OnStage Display Boards last November. These love notes use the Heart Happiness stamp set, which is pretty great. I … [Read more...] about T-Minus 14 Days…
OnStage Displays – Petal Palette
Now that the Occasions Catalog sales period has started, I'm going to share the rest of my Display Projects that I made for OnStage last November. I shared a few projects last November in the Display Stampers Blog Hop. Here are the links to see that Hop: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, and Day 7. But I still have quite a few projects that I haven't had a chance to share yet. One of the sets that I was able to preview was Petal … [Read more...] about OnStage Displays – Petal Palette
