Today has been one of those days where I start a task, then have to stop to do something else. Then back to the original task and once again interrupted. And the cycle keeps repeating. All. Day. Long. I love the summer break from school with no homework or tests, but it sure wreaks havoc on our scheduling. We are usually fairly regimented during the school year, but when summer comes along everything flies out the window along with the set dinner … [Read more...] about Can’t Resist Those Swirly Birds and Rainbows
Five Minute Friday – Remarkable You!
Yes, You. I think you are remarkable. Did you know that? Actually, this stamp set is pretty remarkable too – just look at those big bold flowers. The flowers are so big that they easily can be your focal point, just like on today's card. For this card, you'll want to do your background piece and stamping your sentiment before adhering the flower. I did a light wash of Bermuda Bay across the entire background. I like the uneven look of the … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Remarkable You!
OnStage April 2016 – Watermelon Wonder
One of my favorite things about summer is fresh watermelon. There is just something about that sweet juicy fruit that brings to mind picnics, pool days, and warm evenings. Stampin Up has this habit of naming their colors after foods and Watermelon Wonder is no exception. Every time I see that color, I remember being a kid, wrapped in a towel sitting pool side with my cousins, while my mom passes out the watermelon slices. We certainly didn't … [Read more...] about OnStage April 2016 – Watermelon Wonder
A Little Mermaid Turns One
Last week, a girlfriend's daughter turned ONE. She is such an adorable baby. She had a mermaid-themed birthday party complete with a small waterside for the bigger kids (by bigger, I mean 4 year olds). The mermaid also took a couple turns on the waterslide and she loved it too. Wouldn't you know it, I do not have one single mermaid stamp in my stash. I may have to fix that problem, but for now, I had to make do with what I have. I pulled out … [Read more...] about A Little Mermaid Turns One
Five Minute Friday – Pineapples
I tell you, it's been a week of Mondays and the week isn't over yet. Not having a working fridge the past four days has challenged my culinary skills. I'm on the countdown now, only 3 more days until the new fridge arrives. And we're down to butter, a couple condiments, creamer, and warm beer. If we're going to eat anything tomorrow, it's coming home in a take-out box. When I found out we wouldn't have a fridge for a whole week, I should have … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Pineapples

OnStage April 2016 – Tip Top Taupe
This past April, I was fortunate to be selected to be an OnStage Display Stamper. What does it mean to be selected to be a Display Stamper? It means that I was selected to make projects that were up on display for all the Demonstrators to see at the OnStage Live Event in Salt Lake City. This would be the first time other demonstrators would be seeing new products being used. It was a totally amazing experience and I was thrilled to be … [Read more...] about OnStage April 2016 – Tip Top Taupe

First, let me apologize for no "Five Minute Friday" today. I'll be back to those next Friday. Instead, I have a couple new things to share.
