Scrapbooking
Tomorrow is…
National Scrapbook Day and Cinco de Mayo! I sure had some tough choices for today. Do I share scrapbooking or tacos? This time I'm going with the scrapbooking. You'll have to get your own tacos. Years ago, I stopped scrapbooking almost entirely. I continued to scrapbook our vacation albums here and there but I pretty much gave up on the everyday family pictures because I felt like I would never ever be caught up. The … [Read more...] about Tomorrow is…
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
I Volunteer As Tribute
Guess what happens when you're a professional crafter? You end up "volunteering" to make banners for the Soccer Team awards night. At the banquet planning meeting, I must have been distracted by all the talk about the cake when I raised my hand. Turns out I was volunteering to make the banner for the JV team. That's okay, I'm a professional. I got this. In past years, the banner is made with the intent that the girls will remove their … [Read more...] about I Volunteer As Tribute
Day 5-Display Stamper Blog Hop
Have you met my faithful assistant Frannie? She is always by my side and loves to help me in the studio. She's great at shredding paper and unspooling ribbon. And if you need something chewed, she's ready to take on the challenge. Frannie is 7 lbs of terrier mutt, although most of that is fur and ears. She loves to lounge on the back of the couch and always has this one ear perked up to make sure she's not missing out on something. … [Read more...] about Day 5-Display Stamper Blog Hop
Day 1-Display Stamper Blog Hop
This week, I'm joining the Display Stampers Blog Hop, sharing some of my creations that I made for the OnStage Displays in Salt Lake City. You're probably wondering...what exactly is a Display Stamper? Well, it is a person that is selected by Stampin Up's Art Department to make the projects that will be up on display at their OnStage Event. It is a huge honor to be selected as we are making the first artwork that our fellow Demonstrators will get … [Read more...] about Day 1-Display Stamper Blog Hop
Five Minute Friday – Memories & More
Debuting in the new Annual Catalog this past June is the product that replaces the Project Life pocket cards: Memories & More. If you enjoyed the Project Life products, you will love Memories & More. The card collections come with a few overlays and self-adhesive embellishments, just like Project Life. There is also pattern paper and stamp sets that coordinate with the card collections too. I love how easy these scrapbook pages come … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Memories & More
Five Minute Friday – National Scrapbook Day
Tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day! I think it's kind of cool that one of my favorite hobbies has an actual "Day". Long before our hectic soccer schedule, I used to go to National Scrapbook Day events at local stores. I'd get to spend the entire day indulging in my hobby. For the last several years, I'm lucky if I have time to make just one page on NSD in between games. Now, with the pocket-style scrapbooking method, I can get … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – National Scrapbook Day
