Can you believe it's Halloween today? Where did October go? Nevermind, October... where did September go?!? It amazes me every single year how quickly the end of the year comes once school starts. It feels like I'm wishing the kids a good first day of school and then two days later they are off on Winter Break. I know it's really not quite that fast, but once we get back into the daily school routine with sports and activities, time really does … [Read more...] about Happy Halloween!
October Paper Pumpkin
October's Paper Pumpkin kit is filled with feathers and leaves in a variety of Fall colors. This month's kit makes two different card designs and has several different sentiments to choose from. I've got some ideas for my alternate project for this kit, but will have to share them later. Those laser cut feathers on the card front are going to look amazing when I'm done with them. Of course, they look amazing now, but I've got plans for … [Read more...] about October Paper Pumpkin
Doing Good Deeds
Last week at our Downline Meeting, we spent our time making Halloween Treats for our local Ronald MacDonald House. We've been doing this for several years now. We try to have treats for the house for most of the major holidays.

September Thank You’s
Yay, me! I managed to get my September Thank You cards out relatively early this month. I delayed posting the card so my customers that received one of these would get to see it first. This card uses the Country Lane Suite. This stamp set is a great choice when you want to practice your coloring with our Blends markers. The shading that you do with the flowers and leaves gives added depth to the image. You probably noticed there is no … [Read more...] about September Thank You’s

Remembering You…
Quick post today as we have lots going on this weekend between soccer games, birthday parties, and everything else. Today, I’m sharing my card from last night’s downline meeting. Each month, my Downline group gets together to discuss what’s going onwith Stampin Up, do make & takes, eat dessert, and swap new card ideas. For this card, I saw an idea online using a monocrhomatic background and subtle colors that aren’t using associated with … [Read more...] about Remembering You…
Happy Birthday
I think one of the most common cards I make is a Birthday card. It can be a challenge to come up with new ideas every time. While making this card, I realized my go-to for birthday cards is to use flowers. I tend to use flowers before I reach for any cake or party stamps. I think it's because we have a huge variety of choices when it comes to flowers and they can be so pretty when stamped. This card uses the flowers from the stamp set … [Read more...] about Happy Birthday
