One of the cutest little stamp sets in the new Annual Catalog is called A Little Wild. This trio of little animals includes both their fronts and their backs. The stamp set has a coordinating die set so no need to get out those scissors. If you've seen the set in the catalog, you might have noticed the animal fronts and backs are on the same stamp together. When you use the dies with these little guys, you are actually making a little gift … [Read more...] about A Little Wild

I’m Wild About You
I love the adorable images in the Pieces & Patterns Stamp set and the Pick A Pattern paper. The critters are so cute. I can't decide which are cuter - the dinosaurs or the woodland creatures. But I do know I absolutely love the little moose in the pattern paper. Those antlers! The Pick a Pattern paper with the cartoony animals is one of my favorites from the new Annual Catalog. It looks like the woodland animals are all standing around … [Read more...] about I’m Wild About You

June’s kit contained four Watermelon cards and four watermelon gift bags. The gift bags are 4 x 5.5” and the perfect size for a little treat for someone who … [Read more...] about Watermelon = Summer
I don’t think it’s supposed to look like that…
But I could be wrong. Check out the curve on that Cutting Plate. It's so bent out of shape, I could probably eat soup off of it. Don't worry, I can fix this. I'll just flip it over and run it through upside down a bunch of times and it will eventually start to flatten out a bit. Will it ever flatten out completely? Nope, but that's okay because it still works.My cutting plates and Big Shot get a ton of use. I use it at least 5-6 times a week. … [Read more...] about I don’t think it’s supposed to look like that…
