When I was growing up, I remember visiting my grandma and grandpa's house. Their backyard was this amazing wonderland of growing flowers, plants, and vegetables. I remember rows and rows of veggies and having to be careful where I walked or I might step on something we were going to eat. I remember picking fresh radishes and green beans and eating them practically right off the vine. At the time, I probably didn't appreciate the magnitude … [Read more...] about Sweet Succulents
Five Minute Friday – So Very Much
When I first looked at the Sale-abration Catalog, the stamp set So Very Much jumped out at me. I love that giant Thank You stamp. In fact, it's so big it really can be your focal point on your card. Yay for quick and easy! The script is so swirly and pretty, and far better than my handwriting. This card goes together really quickly. I did a watercolor wash on the White card stock and didn't worry too much about … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – So Very Much

Five Minute Friday – Project Life Style
Today I'm sharing some Project Life Pages that I made using the new Host Set Iconic Occasions. This set works really well for Project Life pages since the images are small and the fonts are easy to read. I think they really fit with the whole "quick and easy" style of scrapbooking.

A Little Something New
This past Monday, I spent some time in my studio unburying my desk from the last of the Christmas crafting and cards. Then I pulled out all my supplies from the Holiday Mini Catalog and replaced with the new stuff from the Occasions Mini and Sale-abration Catalogs. It's always a bit of a let down when the Holiday crafting is done. But, I know there are some really cute things coming and I cannot wait to get started using these new supplies. … [Read more...] about A Little Something New
