I know I promised more Christmas Scottie dogs today, but I need to push that back to Friday. Instead we are celebrating this girl's 20th Birthday (yesterday)! Happy birthday to my little adventurer who always likes to see things from a different perspective. And Stampin Up has announced a Special Release collection called Fitting Florets. This special release will be available from now until January 4th. This is a great Suite of … [Read more...] about Happy Birthday!
Happy Halloween
In the US, today is the day we dress our kids up in costumes and send them out into the world to knock on strangers doors and ask for candy. Don't worry, we tell them not to talk to strangers or take candy from strangers the other 364 days of the year. I know I said I was sharing the Christmas Scottie set this week, and I am. But, I'm starting with a Halloween Scottie since today is the day. Okay, the witch hat is a bit big for the … [Read more...] about Happy Halloween
You Gnome Me So Well
Happy Friday! I'm back today with the last of my gnome cards for now. But don't be surprised if I drag them back out for more projects later. I love the smile on this guy. He looks so happy to be here today. He probably is because it's Friday! I'm really happy with how this one turned out. The snowflake vellum paper goes so well with the blue snowflake pattern paper. The three larger snowflakes are cut out from the pattern paper. Next … [Read more...] about You Gnome Me So Well
Warm Wishes
I'm back with more gnomes today. This time I'm using the itty bitty gnome from the pattern paper. And this time he has a friend, Mr. Moose. I like how they are greeting each other on a beautiful Winter day. The gnome and the moose were punched out from the pattern paper. This saves so much time when making cards. I could have just cut out the rectangle, but I like the look of the punched edge. It gives it a little something extra. I'll … [Read more...] about Warm Wishes
Kindest Gnomes
Every time we come out with a Gnome set, I have a really hard time resisting it. I don't know why I think these long-haired little old men are so cute, but they are. Specially when you pair them with an adorable mushroom home. These little guys really are just the cutest! The mushroom house and the tiny fox are cut from the matching pattern paper. The gnome is stamped and colored in using our Blends alcohol markers. I loved this Suite so … [Read more...] about Kindest Gnomes

October Sampler-Happy Haunting
Fresh off the presses, my October Sampler is now ready! I've been making an effort to not duplicate Holidays in my Samplers. And since I did a "Boo" Sampler two years ago, I was shying away from another Halloween Sampler. But I was struck with inspiration when I found the most adorable tiny spooky house die with matching tiny ghosts to go with it. The house is so cute! I love the spooky woods frame too. And it's a little hard to see in … [Read more...] about October Sampler-Happy Haunting
