I'm a wanna-be quilter. That is... I love the look of quilts and I've attempted a number of them on my own. But, I think I have only ever finished two smallish quilts. I must have at least five partial quilts that are in various stages of completion.

I've decided … [Read more...] about And In My Spare Time…

Day 5-Display Stamper Blog Hop
Have you met my faithful assistant Frannie? She is always by my side and loves to help me in the studio. She's great at shredding paper and unspooling ribbon. And if you need something chewed, she's ready to take on the challenge. Frannie is 7 lbs of terrier mutt, although most of that is fur and ears. She loves to lounge on the back of the couch and always has this one ear perked up to make sure she's not missing out on something. … [Read more...] about Day 5-Display Stamper Blog Hop

Day 2-Display Stamper Blog Hop
Today, I'm featuring the Petal Palette stamp set from the upcoming Occasions Catalog. One of my favorite images from the stamp set is the little birdie. I love the look of old fashioned polaroid photos so that's what I tried to recreate here - a picture of a birdie on a branch. He just looks so sweet. You are going to love this stamp set when you see all the images. And what's even better is that we have a coordinating thinlet die set … [Read more...] about Day 2-Display Stamper Blog Hop
