Monday. You either love it or you dread it. There doesn't really seem to be an in between. Monday can be the dreaded back-to-work day. Or it can be the start of a brand new week, full of opportunity and possibilities. Let's focus on the possibilities. Today I have the second Make & Take from this past weekend's Retreat. One of my favorite sets from the Occasions catalog is the Magical Day stamp set. I am a huge Harry Potter fan and … [Read more...] about Mondays Are Magical
Whose Chucks Are These?
Tomorrow I will be at the Just Crop Retreat again with Make & Takes. I look forward to each and every one of these events. I love seeing all the crafters and sharing something new with them. Either a new product or a new technique. Something that will appeal to both crafters and scrapbookers. Last month, they loved trying Brusho so I thought it would be fun to use it again. So often I end up with girly cards. This time I wanted … [Read more...] about Whose Chucks Are These?
Love Is In The Air
Today I am sharing my brand new Class To Go kit, the Love Banner. I typically don’t do a huge amount of decorating for Valentine’s Day, but I thought it would be fun to make a small banner showing off the brand new Painted With Love pattern paper. The pictures in the catalog don’t do the paper justice. When you see it in person, it is gorgeous. Every sheet has this beautiful gold foil worked into the pattern. And if you’re not in love with all … [Read more...] about Love Is In The Air
Magical Mermaid
When looking for mermaids, the best place to find them is at the bottom of the sea. These beautiful creatures love to hide among the rocks and seaweed. They love spending time with their sea creature friends. This little mermaid is playing hide and seek with her friends the sea horses. It looks like she's found two so far. I'm sure she'll find the third sea horse pretty soon. The creativity process is amazing. Sometimes, I can make a card … [Read more...] about Magical Mermaid
Here’s To The Years!
Eighteen years ago today, I became a first time mom. What a completely life-changing experience it is. It is amazing. It is wonderful. It is exhausting. Moms of boys know exactly what I'm talking about. Those toddler years - oh my! There were days I seriously thought one of us wasn't going to live to see him grow up. Maybe me because of his near-heart attack inducing antics or him because he wouldn't live through them. Funny now... stressful … [Read more...] about Here’s To The Years!
T-Minus 14 Days…
I think last Friday I promised we'd have mermaids this week. Well, the mermaids are a little delayed. You know what an ever-elusive creature they are. I'll do my best to have them rounded up by next week. And now for something completely different... These four cards are a series of 3x3" love notes that I made for the OnStage Display Boards last November. These love notes use the Heart Happiness stamp set, which is pretty great. I … [Read more...] about T-Minus 14 Days…
OnStage Displays – Petal Palette
Now that the Occasions Catalog sales period has started, I'm going to share the rest of my Display Projects that I made for OnStage last November. I shared a few projects last November in the Display Stampers Blog Hop. Here are the links to see that Hop: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, and Day 7. But I still have quite a few projects that I haven't had a chance to share yet. One of the sets that I was able to preview was Petal … [Read more...] about OnStage Displays – Petal Palette
It’s Magical
If you haven’t taken a close look at the pattern paper in the Myths & Magic Suite, you really need to. Every sheet has sparkly glitter on it. This paper really sparkles. And what could be better than chubby unicorns? Sparkly chubby unicorns! One way to make a quick and easy card is to use pattern paper to fill in your background space. This particular card is super quick. Start with a card base, add some pattern paper, a bit of … [Read more...] about It’s Magical
