Online shopping has become such a huge thing in the last couple years. I'm guilty of it too. It's so easy to click add to cart and your order arrives in two days. But, there is nothing like browsing in a cute shop and enjoying the ambiance. If I came across this Art Shop, you can bet I would have to take a look inside. There's nothing like the smell of fresh inks and paints. Plus the visual appeal of all things in rainbow order... pencils, … [Read more...] about The Art Shop

August Sampler-Sundae Funday
Ice cream is my weakness. I can easily pass up cake, pies, cookies, pastries, but ice cream is my favorite. This month's Sampler is an homage to my favorite dessert and it's these Neapolitan colors! Whether your favorite is ice cream cones, sundaes, or milkshakes, there are so many options for this yummy dessert. Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out every month … [Read more...] about August Sampler-Sundae Funday
July Paper Pumpkin-Fun In The Sun
July's kit is so adorable. This is the first time we've had a unique fun fold card in the kit and this one is just too cute. I love the beachy theme of this kit. The fold did take me a minute to figure out, but once I knew what I was doing these came together really quickly. And because I haven't featured her in awhile, here's a behind the scenes look at my Number 1 Assistant Frannie (#bestassistantever), helping me set up today's picture. … [Read more...] about July Paper Pumpkin-Fun In The Sun

Lots Of Love
Happy Monday! I'm back today with more typewritten love notes. The Just My Type stamp set is still on my desk and I've enjoyed making a variety of cards with it. I suspect this stamp set will end up in my "save forever" stash even after it's retired. When you have a lot to say, you need to make a big card. Today's card is a slimline style, which measures 3.5" x 8.5". The Delightfully Eclectic pattern paper pack contains the two pattern papers … [Read more...] about Lots Of Love
That’s A Lot of Pink
The color pink has been all over the internet lately with the release of the new Barbie movie. I haven't seen the movie yet so I can't comment on it. But I can definitely join in the pink craze and make some pink cards. This card is a little different with a smaller panel on the front of the card. You can see that the left side is only about a third of the way across. And the smaller panel on top allows you to see the background on the base … [Read more...] about That’s A Lot of Pink
Just My Type
I don't know why I'm a sucker for vintage typewriters. I'm sure it has to do with fond memories of my grandmother, who used to be a writer. I remember watching her type on an old typewriter. She couldn't type too fast or the keys would catch each other. Of course, I haven't used a typewriter for years. There's no need anymore with computers, cell phones, and iPads. Still, the nostalgia gets to me occasionally. The sound it made when I typed … [Read more...] about Just My Type
