Online shopping has become such a huge thing in the last couple years. I'm guilty of it too. It's so easy to click add to cart and your order arrives in two days. But, there is nothing like browsing in a cute shop and enjoying the ambiance. If I came across this Art Shop, you can bet I would have to take a look inside. There's nothing like the smell of fresh inks and paints. Plus the visual appeal of all things in rainbow order... pencils, … [Read more...] about The Art Shop

Lots Of Love
Happy Monday! I'm back today with more typewritten love notes. The Just My Type stamp set is still on my desk and I've enjoyed making a variety of cards with it. I suspect this stamp set will end up in my "save forever" stash even after it's retired. When you have a lot to say, you need to make a big card. Today's card is a slimline style, which measures 3.5" x 8.5". The Delightfully Eclectic pattern paper pack contains the two pattern papers … [Read more...] about Lots Of Love
That’s A Lot of Pink
The color pink has been all over the internet lately with the release of the new Barbie movie. I haven't seen the movie yet so I can't comment on it. But I can definitely join in the pink craze and make some pink cards. This card is a little different with a smaller panel on the front of the card. You can see that the left side is only about a third of the way across. And the smaller panel on top allows you to see the background on the base … [Read more...] about That’s A Lot of Pink
Just My Type
I don't know why I'm a sucker for vintage typewriters. I'm sure it has to do with fond memories of my grandmother, who used to be a writer. I remember watching her type on an old typewriter. She couldn't type too fast or the keys would catch each other. Of course, I haven't used a typewriter for years. There's no need anymore with computers, cell phones, and iPads. Still, the nostalgia gets to me occasionally. The sound it made when I typed … [Read more...] about Just My Type

Catch The Wave
I promised you a completely different look using the Circle Sayings Bundle. This takes the same stamp set in the whole new direction. I used the ocean scene for my card today. I stamped it first in Crumb Cake. Then I used my small blending brushes to add all the color. To color only the one part at a time, I used a mask to cover up the rest of the circle. I love how this card turned out. The bright sunset over the blue ocean waves is … [Read more...] about Catch The Wave
Sending Smiles
I'm back today with another card using products from the Circle Sayings Bundle. First, I absolutely love this pattern paper with the adorable fox. This paper is from the Countryside Suite. I didn't notice in the Catalog that this paper has these adorable animals in the pattern. Seriously, this is reason enough to buy the paper. Today's is another simple card with a very different look for the ribbon. Gathering up the ribbon like this takes … [Read more...] about Sending Smiles
