June's Paper Pumpkin Kit is called Box of Sunshine and it truly is. Just check out this bright box of happy. This kit included four different cards, two of each design. Plus the kit included an extra sheet with a label and embellishments to decorate the box itself to pass on to a friend. I love that I can reuse the box itself. I know some people keep all the boxes, but I end up recycling them. I just don't have room to store all the boxes. … [Read more...] about June Paper Pumpkin
Ridiculously Awesome
In the US, today starts the long Holiday weekend for the Fourth of July. Three day weekends are not very common and I'm excited to have a day off of work. Today, I'm using one of the new stamp sets from the new Annual Catalog. I absolutely love the sentiments in this stamp set, especially this one. Since I have the day off work today, I plan to take advantage of it by playing in my studio. I haven't had a ton of crafty time this year … [Read more...] about Ridiculously Awesome

Flowers For You
Happy Monday! I thought we'd start the week with a lovely flower wreath. Today's card mixes two different sets, Forever Greenery and Field of Flowers. I love all the green in the Forever Greenery Suite and those gold hoops are just the cutest thing ever. For my wreath I used a mix of the greenery stamps from the Forever Fern stamp set and the flowers from the Field of Flowers stamp set. I love those itty bitty flowers from the Field of … [Read more...] about Flowers For You
Field of Flowers
I bought the Field of Flowers stamp set because I loved the punch. Do you do that too? Buy something because you liked the accessory that went with it? No? Seriously, I can't be the only person that does this. The Field of Flowers has a coordinating flower border punch. And, to make it even better, there is a stamp of itty bitty flowers that you can stamp and then punch out. How cool is that! Just check these out.. I stamped the flowers … [Read more...] about Field of Flowers
Crafts and Plants
Most of what I share here is stamping or paper crafts related, but I do love making home decor items as well. I've been in the process of revamping my backyard space and realized I needed some kind of wall hanging to cover up a screw that was already in place. Honestly, it didn't occur to me to make something until I was roaming the aisles of a home store and couldn't find just the right thing. As I was staring at all the stuff, I realized I … [Read more...] about Crafts and Plants
Adventure Awaits
Last Friday, I shared the Beautiful World stamp set with a masculine theme. You can see it here. I promised I'd share a second card with this same Suite that's all decked out for the girl in your life. For today's card, I used Blushing Bride champagne to change the complete look of the card. My globe stand is die cut from our Champagne Foil paper, which also has a blush hue to it. And it matches our champagne rhinestones perfectly. The … [Read more...] about Adventure Awaits
World of Good
I love to travel. I could go somewhere every single month. There's nothing quite like the rush of running through an airport, taking off on a new adventure. I love seeing new sites and exploring new locations. One of my favorite new Suites from the new Annual Catalog is the World of Good Suite. It's got all sorts of fabulous travel stuff... the stamp set, the dies, the paper, and the embellishments. This card is definitely more masculine … [Read more...] about World of Good
