February Sampler-Book Club
Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing February's Sampler kit - Book Club! A couple years ago, a girlfriend and I decided we should start a book club with our friends since we were already recommending books to each other. Most of us have similar tastes in books, but it's been fun being exposed to authors we may not have heard of previously. We've read some really good books in the last couple years. The best part is getting together every month to … [Read more...] about February Sampler-Book Club
Sweet As Honey
If I haven't talked you into purchasing the Bee Mine Suite yet, here is one more project to twist your arm. Once again, I'm using the adorable bee stamp and pattern papers. I found the easiest way to make the center panel is to start out with the full sheet of the red card stock. I cut the two pieces of pattern paper to the size I needed. Before I glued them to the red card stock, I stamped the dashed lines for the bee trail. Then I added the … [Read more...] about Sweet As Honey
Happy Valentine’s Day!
It is so nice to open my mailbox and find something other than bills or flyers addressed to "Occupant". I just received a lovely Valentine's card from my friend Lyndi in the mail a couple days ago. This really tickles me because Lyndi lives across the street from me. You're probably wondering why she bothered to mail it when she could have just left it on my porch or handed it to me. She knows, just as I do, how nice it is to open your … [Read more...] about Happy Valentine’s Day!

Last of the Lavender
Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing the last of my Lavender cards for now. This time I'm using the products from the Catalog rather than pairing it with the Paper Pumpkin kit. This Suite has been very popular and t's easy to see why. The pattern paper in this Suite is just so pretty. I really had a difficult time deciding which pattern to use first. I think this particular pattern would make a lovely wallpaper. Stamping the lavender is … [Read more...] about Last of the Lavender
Love
If you want to stretch your Paper Pumpkin kits, a great way to do that is to add in our Catalog products. Add some card stock and pattern paper and you can take the pieces from the Paper Pumpkin kit to make lots of different cards. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the tags in the January Paper Pumpkin kit, but it turns out they look great on the front of a card. I added some white ribbon that I colored with one of our Blend … [Read more...] about Love
Paper Pumpkin Meets Catalog
I promised to share some projects combining the Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit with the Perennial Lavender Suite in the January to April Catalog. Here is my first project. This is a slim line card and I used the greenery and flowers from the Paper Pumpkin kit and combined them with the pattern paper from the Suite. I also use the Love of Spring Dies, which was an add-on product that coordinates with the January Paper Pumpkin kit. If … [Read more...] about Paper Pumpkin Meets Catalog
