Don’t Forget Our Paper Sale!
Just a reminder... for one month only, select packs of our pattern paper is on sale for 15% off. I can't decide between the Les Shoppes and the Stargazing pack of paper. Which would you buy? The Shoppes paper is so cute. It reminds me of old fashioned buildings in Europe. But the Stargazing paper is so great for trips to the science center or a space center. Or a just a card for someone you think is out of this world! There's … [Read more...] about Don’t Forget Our Paper Sale!
I Learned Something New
About hot glue. I really debated showing the results today, but the reality is that not every project turns out perfect the first time, especially when you're trying something new. Don't be afraid to experiment. So, I guess I would consider this first attempt a bit of a fail, but I did learn some things. Obviously, I am not a great athlete, scientist, or Noble Prize winner, but I do want to point out that all of those fields … [Read more...] about I Learned Something New
And Now For Something Completely Different…
I recently saw online a really creative craft idea to add some colorful decor to your craft studio. The person used paints in her project but I'm going to give it a try using our re-inkers. Any guesses what I'm going to make? This is either going to turn out to be amazing (fingers crossed). Or we shall never speak of this again. Either way, it should be a fun attempt at making something completely different. I'll share my results next week. … [Read more...] about And Now For Something Completely Different…
Wreath of Blooms
The Wreath of Blooms kit is from Stampin Up's Kit Collection. The Kit Collection is the collection they release only online. Most of the kits are card kits, but there are a few crafty kits. I really liked this floral wreath and bought it months ago. I finally had a chance to put it together. This was a quick kit to assemble. The flowers are pre-printed and easy to punch out of the sheet. Then they are assembled using brads. Then everything is … [Read more...] about Wreath of Blooms
May Paper Pumpkin-Exploring In Color
I'm not sure which I like more, the cards from the May kit or the box itself! May's Paper Pumpkin is a great kit. I absolutely love these cards. The backgrounds on the cards are amazing. I'm a big fan of National Parks and these cards remind me of several of the parks that I've been too. The matching envelopes are so cute too. May's kit included this bonus sticker sheet in it. And let's talk about that great box. I don't usually save my … [Read more...] about May Paper Pumpkin-Exploring In Color

Smiling Croc
As we're approaching the end of the school year, I can't wait until we are sailing into the Summer break. I think this Croc is looking forward to it as well. Just look at that happy smile on his face and he pedals away. It's kind of funny, but with a kid in College, school is very hands-off at this point. But, I still look forward to the school breaks and visits home. There's nothing better than hugging them after it's been a few weeks since … [Read more...] about Smiling Croc
