Oh my goodness! The January Paper Pumpkin kit is just stunning. I love the two different cards in the kit and the tag is so cute. I know I say this every month, but these cards get better with every kit. This kit coordinates with the Perennial Lavender Suite in the January-April Catalog. Usually, I will go ahead and make up the entire kit when I receive it so I don't end up with stacks of uncompleted kits. However, this time I made only one … [Read more...] about January Paper Pumpkin-Lovely Lavender
Love You
There's just something so sweet about pink and red hearts. Add in a bit of gold and you've got a fabulous card. Since I was working with the this fabulous paper and die cutting a bunch of things, I ended up with some strips of heart cut-outs. Not willing to let them go to waste, I used them on my card. I just love that pink swirl paper in the background. It almost looks like frosting. I'm so glad I picked this paper as one of my FREE items … [Read more...] about Love You

January Sampler-Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras is right around the corner. I know it's not a widely celebrated Holiday, but after having gone to New Orleans a couple years ago, I thought this would be a fun theme for a sampler kit. For this kit, I added in some extras like the feathers on the mask and the bead necklaces. I don't normally add 3D items like this, but I lucked out finding just the right things. Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use … [Read more...] about January Sampler-Mardi Gras
Blue or Pink?
When making cards, a lot of the time I will start with the pattern paper to pick what color I'm going to use. Sometimes I can't decide which color is going to match the best. Usually, I'll pick one or the other and just go with it. And sometimes, I'll make it in both colors, which is what I did for today's card. If you look closely at the two pattern papers, you'll see that they are slightly different. Usually, I'll just use the same … [Read more...] about Blue or Pink?
