Honestly, I wasn't going to purchase the Poinsettia Place Suite. I was only going to get the Beaded Pearl embellishments. Then Stampin Up started their pattern paper sale on October 1st. And I decided I really kind of liked the pattern paper, specially on sale. So I added the paper to my cart. Then I realized that some of the dies in the stamp bundle actually cut out the poinsettias in the pattern paper. And... that was it. I ended up getting the … [Read more...] about Poinsettia Place

Love My Cats
If you saw Monday's post and you felt slighted because you are not a dog person, then today's post is just for you. Today I'm sharing my Cat Sampler. It is similar to the Dog Sampler, but this one has all the goods for kitty lovers. And once again, I included the "s" for those that have more than one cat. Of course, if you have only one cat, you wouldn't use the "s". This sampler has already been super popular too. I'm currently taking … [Read more...] about Love My Cats
Love My Dogs
Okay, I really have only one dog, Frannie. But I know some people have more than one dog. And that got me to thinking, what do those people who have more than one dog do when they get a frame that has "I love my dog" on it? Do they just put a picture of their favorite dog it in? Do they not worry that it's missing an "s"? Anyway, that lead me to my next sampler... "Love My Dogs". For this sampler, I included the "s" so it works for those … [Read more...] about Love My Dogs

Joy To The World
If you've been around the card making world lately, you might have noticed a new style of card, called the Slimline Card. This card is unique in it's shape, which is 3.5" x 8.5". It's a long, slim card. This shape of card raises some interesting design challenges. Everything needs to be under a certain height, if you're making a horizontal card. Or it needs to be under a certain width, if you're making a vertical card. It can be a challenge … [Read more...] about Joy To The World
Do Penguins Snowboard?
Why, yes. Yes, they do. Just picture all those little guys in Antartica with nothing else to do. Of course, they are going to get out their snowboards and whiz across those glaciers. It is a secret though. So, you won't ever get to see them do it. When the photographers are visiting, they tend to just stand around in groups. But once the photographers leave, they break out the snowboards and have some fun. There they are...just sailing … [Read more...] about Do Penguins Snowboard?
