Okay, I admit it. I am addicted to coffee. I love all different flavors and styles. My favorite is a Flat White, closely followed by a Latte or Cafe au Lait. Mochas? I'm there. Blended? Yep. Hot? Of course. Iced? Definitely. But there is one coffee I am not fond of even though I try to convince myself every year when all the hubbub starts. It is the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I feel like I'm missing something because everyone I know loves it. … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – It’s PSL Time
Eeek! Halloween is Right Around The Corner
I am so excited that the Holiday Catalog is now LIVE to customers. There are so many amazing things in the Catalog this year. I hope you've been saving up, because your wish list is going to be huge. I usually start off September with Halloween and Fall projects. But don't worry, I'll be sprinkling in some Christmas and Winter projects here and there too. I know that people like to get an early start on their Holiday cards. Today's project … [Read more...] about Eeek! Halloween is Right Around The Corner
Happily Ever After
This past weekend, I attended a wedding for a co-worker and I think this is the first wedding I have been to in about 10 years. It's funny how the cycle of life happens. When you're younger, you go to lots of weddings. As you get older, you transition into baby showers, and then first birthday parties. Eventually school graduations... kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, High School, and then College. And I hear the cycle starts over … [Read more...] about Happily Ever After
Five Minute Friday – August Paper Pumpkin
Time for another Five Minute Friday. I don’t know about you, but now that school is back in session, we’re going through that beginning of the year adjustment trying to remember when and where everybody is supposed to be at any given time. Obviously, time is at a premium until we settle back into the routine. But, just because I'm short on time, that doesn't mean I can't still make cute handmade cards. Our Paper Pumpkin kits are perfect for cards … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – August Paper Pumpkin
Snowflakes for Everyone!
When I had my first peek at the new Holiday Catalog, there were a couple items that I knew I absolutely needed. Yes, needed. One of those products is the brand new die set Swirly Snowflakes Thinlets. Whoa! These dies are gorgeous! I was a little nervous that they wouldn't work really well due to the level of detail in the dies. Sometimes those super detailed dies are a pain to work with because it's so hard to get the paper out of the die … [Read more...] about Snowflakes for Everyone!
Best Laid Plans…
So I honestly had planned to get a bunch of birthday cards made this weekend. Guess how many I made? One. Yep, just one. Sometimes, that's just the way it works out. Time, or better said the lack of time, plays a big part in this. And it's crazy because school hasn't started and soccer season hasn't kicked into high gear yet. Where did this weekend go? I managed to get a couple things made this weekend, but my favorite is the … [Read more...] about Best Laid Plans…
Flower Shop Birthday
One card I'm always in need of is birthday cards. I try to keep a couple on hand, but I'm usually scrambling to get them done at the last minute. I promised I would spend a little time this week getting several done. The Flower Shop stamp set has been around a few years, and it's still a favorite. I love that there is a coordinating punch for the flower too. It makes it so much easier to make quick cards. For this card, I offset the … [Read more...] about Flower Shop Birthday
Send A Hug
As I was putting away some craft supplies from the last craftastrophe, I came across the Whole Lot of Lovely paper pack. The patterns in this pack are so pretty. Every time I flip through the pack, I want to make something with these gorgeous florals. The bold patterns do make it a little bit of a challenge for designing a card because you don't want it to look too busy. This sheet with the small vines and flowers makes an excellent … [Read more...] about Send A Hug
