August's kit is called Farmhouse Florals. It makes nine cards, three each of three designs. The cards come with lovely floral elements that pop-off the front of the card. The stamp color included this month is Secret Sea, one of the new In Colors. This month's kit is a bit unusual that it has you stamp the sentiment on the inside of the card. I always stamp the inside before I give away the card, but usually our Paper Pumpkin kits don't … [Read more...] about August Paper Pumpkin-Farmhouse Florals
It’s Not Fall Yet
There are still 39 days until Fall. Yet all the stores have Halloween decor out already. Part of me thinks it's too soon. But I have to admit I bought a Christmas decoration today. Don't worry, I'm rolling my eyes at myself for caving in to a 40% Christmas decor sale this week. Sheesh. So to balance things out, I went ahead and bought this Fall garland, Harvest Home Garland, part of the Stampin Up Kits Collection. I don't know, it made sense … [Read more...] about It’s Not Fall Yet

Paper Bouquet
I love our kits and I love seeing how they can be re-imagined. I bought the Paper Bouquet for my own use. I had originally planned to use it just as designed, flowers in a vase. I had this basket from a local craft store and I had no idea what I was going to do with it. Then I thought it might be fun to do something a little different with the bouquet. This basket uses about a third of the flowers in the kit so I have plenty leftover for … [Read more...] about Paper Bouquet
Last Chance List Updated
Stampin Up just added more items to the Last Chance section of the store. Run, don't walk, to get these items before they sell out. There are some really great items in this section that I am sad to see go, like our Suitcase Treat boxes. I love these! I've made several different versions of them and this is one of my favorites. I'm also going to miss the Storybook Moments Suite. So many cute projects with this Suite. Those are … [Read more...] about Last Chance List Updated

Tote-ally Cool!
One of my friends made this adorable Mickey tote for me. The Notes & Totes bundle has some great dies to make these 3-D tote bags. The die set includes all the dies to do all the trim and embellishments. The little bags are about 3" x 3", just big enough to hold a few small chocolates. I love the idea of this bundle, being able to make all sorts of different tote bags. These little bags would be adorable for party favors. I can't wait … [Read more...] about Tote-ally Cool!
Virtual Album Retreat-Part 2
Happy Friday! I'm back today with Part 2 of the Virtual Album Retreat. I wanted to share my thoughts on the Retreat. As I mentioned, the Virtual Retreat took place over three days, with each "session" lasting around 8ish hours. That's about 24 hours worth of crafting and instruction. You could check in for any portion as you had time and then watch the videos in replay later. The how-to videos are lengthy because they want you to have time … [Read more...] about Virtual Album Retreat-Part 2
