Every year, I make ornaments for an amazing group of friends. I usually make a snow globe ornament with a winter scene inside. This year I used the Fluffy Squirrel stamp set to feature inside my snow globe. I've been making ornaments for more than 10 years now. Here are a bunch of them that I've made through the years. These are a lot of fun to make although I realized this year that it is a bit of a challenge to come up with something new … [Read more...] about Annual Ornament

Finished!
Last week, I shared a project that I was working on, an advent calendar that is a village of tiny houses. I was able to finish all the decorations on my tiny village over the weekend. I added a lot of snow to the village, both to the rooftops and to the ground. I used almost a half a bottle of glue on the snow. You can see a close up view of the snow on the village below. I found some miniature deer and wreaths that I added as well. … [Read more...] about Finished!

Queen Of Unfinished Projects
Yep, that's me. Every Christmas Holiday, I have a list of things I want to make and it usually takes me longer than I anticipate to complete each project. I bought this particular item back in August and it's been sitting on my counter waiting to be decorated. I started working on it right after Thanksgiving weekend and was able to decorate most of it. But then ran out of time to complete it. And there it still sits on my counter, waiting … [Read more...] about Queen Of Unfinished Projects
Once Last Delivery!
I really like using these little frames to make small home decor pieces. I can use them by themselves or group it with some other small decor pieces or add it to my tiered tray. There are so many places I can use these. I love how the bunny is in such a hurry, the cards are flying out the back of his truck. I promise, this is the last Jolly Delivery project I'm posting... at least for this week. I have really enjoyed using this Suite, but it … [Read more...] about Once Last Delivery!
Mini Magnet Board
Since we're approaching Back To School days, I thought it would be fun to make a mini magnet board. I found some mini metal hanging signs that are approximately 4 x 8" at a local craft store. The signs themselves were very plain and just had "welcome" stamped across them. I knew that they could be fabulous with a little bit of pattern paper added to them. I added the gray card stock first. Than each of the pattern paper strips centered in … [Read more...] about Mini Magnet Board
You’re Going to Need to Buy That Paper
I went a little crazy making projects with the Mediterranean Suite and this is by far my favorite. This is a mini clipboard that I decorated with the pattern paper from the Suite and lots and lots of layers. I have a few of these mini decorated clipboards that I've decorated through the years hanging in my studio. It's a great mini canvas that I can use to decorate my space. To make this project, you definitely need the Mediterranean paper. … [Read more...] about You’re Going to Need to Buy That Paper
August Magnet Stand Kit-Fall
One of my favorite Fall activities is visiting an apple farm and stocking up on apples, cider, and apple pie. When we go, I always hope for a cool, crisp day but in SoCal, it's typically still around 90' in September. So we do our apple picking in shorts and t-shirts. It's been a few years since we've been, but it was always a lot of fun. To help you get ready for your Fall decorating, August's kit is dedicated to apple season! This is one … [Read more...] about August Magnet Stand Kit-Fall
