I've had a number of messages about how I made the Mini Album I shared a few weeks ago. This type of chipboard mini album is actually pretty easy to put together. Once you've figured out the mechanics of one album, you can make this in any size and shape you want. For this album, I used two 6x6" chipboard pieces and a 1x6" chipboard piece for the center spine. You'll need four pieces of card stock cut to 6x6" and one piece cut to 2x6". The … [Read more...] about Make Your Own Mini Album

Love You More Than…
Cocktails! Today's card is another card for the over 21 crowd. My son saw this one and asked who I'd give a card like this too. I'm sure I have a couple girlfriends who would laugh at this one. This card uses the coordinating dies for the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. I love the different words in the die set and the combinations you can make. I used the foam adhesive sheets on the word cocktails again. I love the way it looks … [Read more...] about Love You More Than…
Adulting Is Hard
Happy Monday! I'm pretty sure it's Monday. Although it does seem like the days blend together lately. I'm having so much fun playing with the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. Today's card is for the over 21 crowd. Cocktails, because adulting is hard. I love that all the drink pieces in the stamp set are individual. Since the set is a photopolymer set, it makes it pretty easy to line up the glass, drink, lemon, and umbrella. This makes it … [Read more...] about Adulting Is Hard
Adventure Awaits!
I'm doing my best to catch up on everything I have on my to-do list. And, I had one more Graduation card to make this year. I really love the Beautiful World stamp set and I think it works perfectly for a graduation. Moving on from High School to College is a huge adventure. For this card, I made a stack of books with a globe on top. To get the rounded spines on the side of the books, I used a bit of our foam adhesive strip in the center of … [Read more...] about Adventure Awaits!
May Customer Thank Yous
Yikes, I am way behind in getting out my Customer Thank You's. It's already July and the May Thank You's just went out last week in the mail. I really try to get this out at the end of the month, but it just didn't happen in June. Don't worry, I'm already working on June's Thank You's. Even though I'm a little late getting these out, making thank you's is one of my favorite parts of my job every month. This card uses the Nothing's Better Than … [Read more...] about May Customer Thank Yous

Ridiculously Awesome
In the US, today starts the long Holiday weekend for the Fourth of July. Three day weekends are not very common and I'm excited to have a day off of work. Today, I'm using one of the new stamp sets from the new Annual Catalog. I absolutely love the sentiments in this stamp set, especially this one. Since I have the day off work today, I plan to take advantage of it by playing in my studio. I haven't had a ton of crafty time this year … [Read more...] about Ridiculously Awesome
Field of Flowers
I bought the Field of Flowers stamp set because I loved the punch. Do you do that too? Buy something because you liked the accessory that went with it? No? Seriously, I can't be the only person that does this. The Field of Flowers has a coordinating flower border punch. And, to make it even better, there is a stamp of itty bitty flowers that you can stamp and then punch out. How cool is that! Just check these out.. I stamped the flowers … [Read more...] about Field of Flowers
