Oh my goodness! It's been a while since I've been able to share a Five Minute Friday. I've had so many good things lately, that it's been a toss-up to see what gets shared first. Awhile back I shared a project that I made using our fabulous clear treat boxes. you can read about it here. Did you know that our clear treat boxes make an excellent little gift to give to a friend? And if one treat box is good, then two treat boxes are better! … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Clear Tiny Treat Boxes
OnStage Display – Another Sneak Peak
Today, I have another sneak peak of an upcoming new product in the Occasions Catalog. This was a birthday card that I made for the OnStage Display earlier this month. This new Party Animal Suite is pretty fabulous. I love the bright, bold pattern papers and the Balloon Adventures stamp set has some great sentiments included. This card is a relatively simple design. The pattern on the paper is so big that I wanted to keep it my focal point … [Read more...] about OnStage Display – Another Sneak Peak
Cyber Monday is Here!
I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. We enjoyed time with family and friends this weekend. All the Thanksgiving decorations have been packed away for another year. Our house is now decorated for the Holidays, the lights are up, and we made it as far as putting lights on the Christmas tree. Ornaments will go up in the next couple days as I continue working on custom Christmas card orders. Do you want beautiful handmade … [Read more...] about Cyber Monday is Here!
A Gift Card Holder
Another turkey has come and gone. Well, not quite all of it. Today we're having turkey sandwiches for lunch. Then dinner will be turkey pot pie. And I'm sure tomorrow will bring more turkey. Anyway, on to something not turkey related. Today's project is a gift cardholder from this scrapbook retreat I worked a couple weeks back. This was my second make and take that I offered and it was really popular. Here is the … [Read more...] about A Gift Card Holder
20 Years
Today is a very special day for our family. Today is our 20th Wedding Anniversary. Oh. My. Goodness. 20 years! I can't believe so much time has passed and at the same time it feels like we've known each other forever. I remember our wedding day like it was just a couple years ago. But every time I look in the mirror and find another gray hair natural highlight, I realize that far more time has passed. It's been an amazing 20 … [Read more...] about 20 Years

Merry Mice and Stitched Dies
Oh my, oh my! Those Stitched Dies! Let me be the first to ask you, why haven't you bought these yet? They add that little bit of je ne sais quois (thank you high school French). Seriously, now I want to go back and remake every card from the last couple months using these dies. Ok maybe not every card. Check out these two cards. This first card does not use the Stitched Dies. No doubt about it, it's definitely cute. But this one is with the … [Read more...] about Merry Mice and Stitched Dies
OnStage Displays – Party Treats and Eats
When my kids were little and we still did the big birthday parties, I agonized over the treat bags. They had become a "thing". It was important that they had something good in them, not just candy. And of course, me being who I am, it was so important that everything coordinated. Yes, I'm that mom when it comes to parties. :) When I began working with the new Party Animal Suite, I knew I had to make a bunch of party goodies that all … [Read more...] about OnStage Displays – Party Treats and Eats
