It's Friday! I'm back today with some of the bright funky butterflies in the Butterfly Kisses Suite. The pattern paper is so bright and fun that I wanted to use bright colors for my butterflies as well. The butterfly stamps are unique in that they are all separate stamps. There are a selection of top wing pieces and bottom wing pieces. And then the body is a separate piece as well. This makes it so much easier for stamping having everything … [Read more...] about So Glad…

Another School Year is Done!
As a mom, there is such a feeling of relief when another school year ends. Even though mine are in college, it's still a sense of relief when you know they are now on a break. My son graduated from college in April - YAY! My daughter just finished up last week and we moved her home this weekend. When the kids were in elementary school, I used to surprise them with a little something to celebrate them finishing another school year. It was … [Read more...] about Another School Year is Done!
Alexa Says Its Time For Happy Hour
I'm so lucky that one of my closest friends, Lyndi, lives across the street from me. Well, her Alexa is pretty smart. Without fail, her Alexa will announce it's time for happy hour at 5:00 on Fridays and will start playing music to celebrate the end of the work week. I love smart technology! We tend to get together for a lot of happy hour Fridays. We'll usually have a charcuterie board, sometimes small, sometimes extravagant. And there is … [Read more...] about Alexa Says Its Time For Happy Hour
Thank You
Happy Friday! I'm back today with more Tea Boutique Suite. I love our Kraft colored boxes with these gold dots. These boxes are perfect for a small treat or gift. These boxes ship flat in a package of eight. I think they'd be great as a thank you or party favor for a shower or a party. You could use them for teacher thank you gifts. In this picture, you can see the pretty scallop detail along the edge of the lid. These boxes are 3.5 x … [Read more...] about Thank You
Cup of Tea
One of my favorite Suites from the new Catalog is the Tea Boutique Suite. I love the stamp set with the matching dies, and the adorable pattern paper. The pattern paper is a 6x6" pad. The patterns on the 6x6" paper are reduced down, which is perfect for card-making. The finished card is 4.25" x 4.5". I started out with a standard card size of 4.25" x 5.5". Then I scored the bottom 1" up. On the right side, I trimmed off the card stock at … [Read more...] about Cup of Tea

Sweet Songbirds
Happy Monday! They say the early bird gets the worm. This sweet little songbird is singing a happy tune. I don't know if it's because he got the worm or if he's just happy to be singing on his branch. I love the In Color Glimmer paper. I love that it has an ombre pattern with the light to dark. For my bird, I was able to punch out the belly in the lighter shade of the Sweet Sorbet to match the body in the darker Sweet Sorbet. I used my … [Read more...] about Sweet Songbirds
