A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I had a second Sampler to release this month and today is the day! Before I show you the new sampler, I want to give you a little back story on how it came about. I really wanted August's Sampler to be Disney-themed, but I was debating the traditional Mickey colors or going with the castle colors. I ended up with going with the Mickey theme for August, but I still had some great ideas with the castle, … [Read more...] about September Sampler-Once Upon A Time
It’s Just Like A Crime Scene
But worse! Okay, I might be exaggerating a bit. But this is today's craftermath! It's just like an aftermath, but specifically crafter related. Yes, this is the reality of my desk right now. No judging.. you know you do this too. I spy a some beautiful pattern paper, a project using the pillowbox die, and a fabulous deer punch. All those pretty cards and projects I post start out with a mess that looks pretty similar to this. Maybe not … [Read more...] about It’s Just Like A Crime Scene
Which Do You Like Better?
Sometimes when I'm working on projects, I'll add and take away different pieces until I'm happy with it. Rarely do I end up with two totally different cards like today. Here is my first version. It's perfectly nice. But, I thought it needed more sparkle. So here's the second version. Whoa! Check out that gorgeous gold foiling on the pattern paper. And the leaf is die cut from the new Gold Shimmer Vellum paper. This second version … [Read more...] about Which Do You Like Better?
Whimsical Trees
Did you know we are less than 100 days to Christmas? Oh my goodness! The year is just racing by. It will be 2022 before we know it. If you haven't started your Christmas cards yet, today's card is a great option. This is an easy card to make. Just stamp the trees in a variety of colors and then die cut them out. I added a bunch of the Subtle Shimmer Sequins around the card and to several of the trees. The sequins are not self-adhesive and I … [Read more...] about Whimsical Trees

September Sampler-Apple Season
Happy Monday! It's time to reveal September's Sampler kit, which is Apple Season! I remember that when I was growing up, my family would do a day trip to Apple country every Fall. We'd eat lunch at the same restaurant every year, visit the same apple farm, and eat apple pie at the same place. Then when my kids were young, we did the same with them. We found a great apple farm, that had a huge lawn that the kids could run around. We'd play … [Read more...] about September Sampler-Apple Season

The pattern paper in this Suite is just the most gorgeous Fall colors with tons of gold foiling. Just look at the flowers below with … [Read more...] about Fall is Coming
