The adorable Gnome stamp set has this cute little mushroom house, that's just the right size for the little squirrel. This little guy looks like he's having a happy day. He's probably out looking for nuts. I'm sad this stamp set and dies are retiring. I haven't had a chance to use all the gnomes in the stamp set. I might have just enough time to use the rest of the gnomes before the end of the month. We'll have to see where time takes us. … [Read more...] about Gnome Sweet Gnome
Friendly Gnomes
I've been busy trying to use the stamp sets that I purchased from the January-April Catalog that are retiring this month. One of the sets is Friendly Gnomes. This gnome stamp set coordinates with the Gnome die set from the Holiday Catalog. I love that I can get more use out of that die set. This card is one of the ones I used for my February Customer Thank You cards. I used our blending brushes to add a bit of green to the label and some … [Read more...] about Friendly Gnomes
Happy Easter!
This Sunday is Easter Sunday so I made one last Easter project. This is a small gift bag for some chocolate. This one will have a chocolate bunny in it. The Easter Bunny stamp set has a coordinating bunny punch that's been out of stock for a while. You can still get lots of use out of the stamp set by cutting out the bunnies with scissors. In fact, two of the bunnies don't even match the punch. And this wasn't hard to cut out at all. … [Read more...] about Happy Easter!
New Colors!
I'm so excited! Today is the first day we (Demonstrators) can order the new colors. Customers will be able to order new colors starting in May. I'm working on placing my pre-order from the upcoming Catalog. I've been going over my pre-order list for awhile now. I want to be sure to order all the new colors and some new stamps and dies too. Plus there are new embellishments and new ribbon to choose from as well. So many choices! If you … [Read more...] about New Colors!

Somebunny To Love
Easter is right around the corner and I thought it would be nice to have some new Easter decor this year. I found these frames online and they are relatively inexpensive. Perfect for a small piece like this that will only be on display for a month or so. To make the layered frame, I used some glue dots to hold the pink and white frames together. Then on the back side, I used our foam strips to tape the two pieces together. You could also use … [Read more...] about Somebunny To Love
