Today I'm sharing my Sampler Kit for June, which is On The Farm. I'm not a farm girl, but I do have fond memories of going to the LA County Fair with family every year and seeing all the farm animals. I was always surprised at how big the cows and pigs really are. It's amazing to see if you're never seen these animals up close. Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out … [Read more...] about June Sampler-On The Farm

I’m No Quitter!
Well, I finished up my paintbrush experiment and it came out better than I hoped. I started by cutting off the dried hot glue from my first brushes that I had colored with re-inker. There was just no salvaging that hot glue. Every time I re-heated it, the red ink just ran out all over the place. So back to square one. I used the rope hot glue to glue the paintbrushes upright. The rope hot glue I purchased came in a 6' length. I ended up having … [Read more...] about I’m No Quitter!

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
