Five Minute Friday – In Colors Blooms
I have a selection of cards for you today for Five Minute Friday using the brand new In Colors that will be released next week. Actually, it's one card in five different colors. This card is really simple to put together. You'll want to do a watercolor wash on the watercolor paper. The more water you use, the lighter your ink color will be. But, it will go one much smoother and you won't get those harsh edges to the color wash. Once it dries, … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – In Colors Blooms
Out With The Old, And In With The New
This is always a tough time of year. The end of a Catalog brings many tears as we say good-bye to some favorite products. This is also the time of year another group of In Colors retires. Yes, the 2015-2017 In Colors are retiring next week. Get ready to say good-bye to Cucumber Crush, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Delightful Dijon, and Mint Macaron. I'll miss you all. In my studio, I have a display set up with the current In Colors. … [Read more...] about Out With The Old, And In With The New
You’re Cool, Dad
This past Saturday, I was a vendor at the Just Crop Retreat again. I so enjoy working these events and seeing the ladies every few weeks. On Friday, I shared one of the two make & takes that I offered here. Today I have my second make & take for you, which uses the Cool Treats Suite of products. The Cool Treats Stamp Set and Frozen Treats framelit dies will be around for another year. However, the Tasty Treats designer paper is on the … [Read more...] about You’re Cool, Dad
Five Minute Friday – Eastern Palace
Tomorrow I'll be working at the Just Crop Retreat doing Make & Takes and selling Stampin Up goodies. I always look forward to these retreats and seeing all the ladies there.

Eastern Palace Suite
Today I have a sneak peak of a new Suite of Products that will be released in the new Annual Catalog, which starts in just two weeks.

The Eastern Palace Bundle is available in two different size Kits: Starter and Premier. These two … [Read more...] about Eastern Palace Suite
Crafting Forever! Housework Whenever.
If you're a crafter, you're going to love the brand new Crafting Forever stamp set that will be available June 1st. This is one of the stamp sets that I received at OnStage last month and it speaks to my heart. I completely agree that Crafting is forever and housework should be whenever. I would much rather spend my time making something for someone rather than cleaning toilets. Okay, bad example. That's probably everyone's least favorite … [Read more...] about Crafting Forever! Housework Whenever.
Five Minute Friday – Mom Style
First, let me state for the record, that Mom is worth way more than five minutes of your time. Just think of all the things she does for you. It would take you more than five minutes just to list every single thing she's done for you your entire life. All those meals she cooked, rides she gave you, waiting for you at endless soccer practices, driving all over Southern California to get you to that soccer game. And the list goes … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Mom Style
