One of the best things about visiting Hawaii is all the fresh pineapple. It's so plentiful and it is one of my favorites fruits. The Tropical Oasis Suite has the cutest products to celebrate Summer. One of my favorite dies from the In The Tropics dies is the pineapple die. I love the size of it. The pineapple is about 4.5" tall. With the size of the pineapple, I thought this would make a really cute treat holder. Unfortunately, the set … [Read more...] about Aloha!

Umbrella Drinks
I'm still playing with the Tropical Oasis Suite today. Just looking at this paper and stamp set makes me wish I was sitting on a beach somewhere enjoying a nice umbrella drink. I'm looking forward to the day when I can just lay around enjoying the sun and a nice fruity cocktail. Frankly, I could be laying around now since I have no plans to go anywhere, but laying the backyard is just not the same as relaxing on a beach listening to the … [Read more...] about Umbrella Drinks
Welcome To My New Space!
Just to give you a little history, I've been blogging regularly since 2013. Seven years! Can you believe it? And in seven years, technology changes quite a bit. I knew about six months ago I was going to need to do a major update on my blog and hosting, but put it off until after the Holidays. Then of course, major plumbing problems, house construction, etc, and here it is April. But it is finally done! I am so excited for the new graphics and … [Read more...] about Welcome To My New Space!
Happy Friday!
Fooled you! It's really only Thursday. I know it's really hard to keep track of the days during quarantine, but it is Thursday. I checked the calendar myself. Anyway... I'm posting today - Thursday - instead of my usual Friday morning post because I have something awesome coming soon that with the timing, I won't actually be able to have my Friday morning post ready to go. I am so excited! Just wait until you see! I'll be back on Monday … [Read more...] about Happy Friday!
We’ll Always Have Paris
I've spent so little time making things in my studio lately, but I did manage to make a card using the Parisian Blossoms Suite. This Suite was one of my very first purchases from the Occasions Catalog and I've hardly had a chance to use it. I used our Champagne Foil paper to cut out the Eiffel Tower. The script writing in the patter paper is a champagne colored foil and it matches our Champagne Foil paper so well. It look so pretty in real … [Read more...] about We’ll Always Have Paris
Forget Your Trebles
Today's card was created by a dear friend who came to my rescue so I could share a project with you today. She must be tired of my vague promises of something awesome coming soon. Haha! This fabulous card was designed and created by Poli Rizco. The stamp set is called Music From The Heart. It's actually one that I hadn't really noticed in the catalog so I'm very glad that she used it. And the "forget your trebles" is just perfect for … [Read more...] about Forget Your Trebles
I’ve Got Nothing…
I seriously over-estimated my capabilities in getting a new project made and ready to post for today. I'm still surrounded by boxes and piles of craft supplies in my studio. In the meantime, I will leave you with one of my favorite projects so far from the Spring Catalog. I just love this adorable little lion from the Birthday Bonaza Suite. He's just the cutest little love. These foil heart treat holders are still available to … [Read more...] about I’ve Got Nothing…
Moving Back In
If you’ve been following my plumbing saga... All the home repairs are now done. And now I start the process of unpacking all those boxes. This is just a small fraction of what there is to unpack. Unfortunately, no time to share a project today as I’m still in the process of putting stuff away. I’ll try to have something ready to go by Wednesday for you. This has been quite a process. Current Specials It's that time of year… … [Read more...] about Moving Back In
