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
Last of the Seedlings
First, let me apologize for my oopsie on Wednesday. I set my posts to automatically go live in the am. I goofed and set it for pm. I fixed it as soon as I realized it hadn't posted. Sorry! Happy Friday! This is it for the Soft Seedlings for now. I wanted to share one more version in a different color for this card. For this card, I lightly inked it in the early espresso color so you can see more of the veins in the leaves. This card … [Read more...] about Last of the Seedlings
This or That?
I'm back with Soft Seedlings today. As I was getting out my supplies, I couldn't decide which colors to use, so I used both yellow and green. Making this card in the two different colors gives each one a totally different feel. The yellow card looks more like Fall colors to me. And the green would be more appropriate for Spring. What do you think about the two colors? Which one do you like better? Comment below! Soft … [Read more...] about This or That?
Soft Seedlings
Well, it sure doesn't feel like Fall weather here in SoCal, but it is officially Fall now. Today's card is inspired by one I saw that one of the Stampin Up employees had made. I used slightly different colors and changed the layout a little bit. For the leaves, I inked them in Crushed Curry, then I used a sponge to add a bit of Cajun Craze around the edges and then Mossy Meadow for the stems. I love the multicolor of the leaves. You can … [Read more...] about Soft Seedlings
Bewitching Box
If you're like me, you might have taken advantage of one of the Sale-abration items last month, the Kraft Gift Boxes. These boxes were one of the items you could get free with a purchase. Today I used the box to make a Halloween treat. This box is a great size to tuck a nice treat in, like a cookie or a brownie, or small gift. The window in the box gives a nice peak at whatever may be inside. Don't forget to get out those items you … [Read more...] about Bewitching Box
