I am so excited to share my next Class To Go. I think this one turned out stinkin' cute! Just looking at it has me counting down the days until school is out and Summer begins. By the time May rolls around, I'm done with homework, tests, studying, and reports. Unfortunately, we have school until mid-June. Ugh. I have my fingers crossed that we don't get anymore major projects this school year. I think AP tests and SATs will be enough with all the … [Read more...] about Class To Go – Cool Summer
Five Minute Friday – Cool Treats
Before I share today's Five Minute Friday card, I wanted to remind you that the Retirement Sale is in full swing. We have just over a month before those products will be gone forever. And sadly, some of them are already sold out. One product that isn't retiring from the Occasions Catalog is the Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelits. You may have noticed the bundle on the Retirement List and that's because the bundle is … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Cool Treats

Scrapbooking With Pocket Pages
Sometimes when I tell people that I scrapbook, I see their eyes start to glaze over as they visualize piles and piles of paper and stickers and punches and just stuff. That's the traditional view of a scrapbooker - that you can't scrapbook without a ton of supplies all around you. I've heard stories from former scrapbookers that they gave it up because it was just too messy. Or that there was too much pressure to create the perfect page. It can … [Read more...] about Scrapbooking With Pocket Pages
Five Minute Friday – Mother’s Day Card
Today's five minute Friday card uses a bunch of retiring products. Both of the stamp sets, the pearls, and the pattern paper are all retiring at the end of May. This card has some really easy stamping since all of the flowers are one single stamp. Watercoloring is a perfect technique for a five minute Friday card. Watercoloring doesn't have to be perfect and I find I get better results when I work quickly, rather than spending a lengthy … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Mother’s Day Card
OnStage San Diego Recap
OnStage was amazing! I realize I say that Every. Single. Time. But it truly was amazing. Stampin Up does an amazing job on their events and it's a fun weekend away with my crafty BFFs. We lucked out that the location this time was San Diego, which is about an hour and half south of us by car. Lyndi, Poli, and Annette and I decided to make it a mini vacation and drive down Friday, the day before OnStage. Here's a peek at all our … [Read more...] about OnStage San Diego Recap
So Long Succulents
If you've been reading my blog posts for the past couple months, you might have guessed that one of my absolute favorites from the Occasions Mini Catalog is the Oh So Succulent stamp set and coordinating Succulent Framelits. And I just noticed that this stamp and die set is not being carried forward into the next Annual Catalog. It is officially on the Retirement List. I was so sure that it was going to carried forward because of the popularity … [Read more...] about So Long Succulents
Five Minute Friday – Garden In Bloom

Believe me, whomever you've giving this to will appreciate that you took time to make something for them. Today's card uses the Garden In Bloom stamp set. The stamping on this card is quick.
