We are at six days and rapidly counting down. Are you ready with your Valentine's treats and cards? If not, I do have a couple more ideas to share with you this week for your Valentine's gift giving. The Love Notes Framelits set has this cute heart border die. I sometimes struggle with these borders because I'm not sure where to put the border. I'm either too far to the left or too far to the right and I think it looks not quite … [Read more...] about Did You Know Valentine’s Is Next Week?

Paper Pumpkin Storage
Recently, someone asked me how I store my Paper Pumpkin subscription. What do I do with all the pieces? First of all, I really do make an effort to get my kits assembled as quickly as possibly. If it's cards, I file the completed cards in my card organizer by type. This is has been so handy when I need a last minute card. If it's a home decor piece, I make it and put it out right away so we can enjoy it for the season. Gift boxes and treat … [Read more...] about Paper Pumpkin Storage
Teenagers!
That one word says it all. If you’re a parent of a teen or teens, you know exactly what I’m talking about. You constantly vacillate between “I can’t wait for them to move out” and “I can’t believe they are going to move out”. Yesterday, our oldest turned 17, which means the "move out" could be right around the corner for us.We still have another year and half of high school and we’ll see where he ends up for college. I worry … [Read more...] about Teenagers!
Paper Pumpkin is…
Almost as good as Christmas! You know that special package is going to arrive in the mail. You stalk your mailbox for days on end just waiting for it to show up. And it finally arrives. And just like any other gift, you have no idea what is inside until you open it up! Just like a Christmas present. When that orange box shows up in the mailbox, some serious decision-making happens. Do I tear into the box on the porch before I even go … [Read more...] about Paper Pumpkin is…
Monday Already?
One of the things I love about Southern California is our weather. It's 70' and sunny almost all the time, except in Winter when it's 60' and sunny. Except for the past couple weeks! It's been 50' and rainy for days on end. We have had more rain the last couple weeks than we have had in the past several years combined. I know this is nothing compared to what other States get for Winter. And that 50' in some states is still shorts and … [Read more...] about Monday Already?
Tasty Trucks Loaded With Goodies
One of the stamp sets in the new Sale-abration Catalog is Tasty Trucks. The main image in the set is the food truck and it is adorable! The set comes with lots of things to accessorize it. Everything from tacos to cupcakes to pancakes and more. One of the samples in the Sale-abration catalog is a little 3-D food truck filled with candy. What a cute idea! I knew I needed to make a truck for some deliveries of my own. The trucks are stamped … [Read more...] about Tasty Trucks Loaded With Goodies
Wheelbarrows of Fun
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll probably seen all the pictures I've been posting of the succulent plants and flowers that I've been making lately. I have made dozens and dozens of these plants. Seriously, dozens. In fact, I had to clear off a two foot section of my desk to make space for all of them so I could organize them to see what colors and sizes I have. I have made a bunch of projects using these plants and I still have … [Read more...] about Wheelbarrows of Fun
Five Minute Friday – So Very Much
When I first looked at the Sale-abration Catalog, the stamp set So Very Much jumped out at me. I love that giant Thank You stamp. In fact, it's so big it really can be your focal point on your card. Yay for quick and easy! The script is so swirly and pretty, and far better than my handwriting. This card goes together really quickly. I did a watercolor wash on the White card stock and didn't worry too much about … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – So Very Much
