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

Fall is Coming
We are getting closer and closer to the official first day of Fall in just twelve more days. It's been so hot lately, I'm looking forward to some cooler weather. Although I'm a little less excited about cold and flu season this year. Today's card uses some of the products from the new Blackberry Beauty Suite. 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
July Thank You’s
Hello and welcome to another episode of Diane is running behind again. Seriously! I had my July Customer Thank you cards ready to go a little while ago, but just managed to drop them off at the Post Office. Rest assured, I've already started on the August Thank You's and here's hoping that they make it to the Post Office before November. Sheesh! This thank you card might look a bit familiar. That's because I took the idea from the mini … [Read more...] about July Thank You’s
Harvest Meadow
Happy Fri-Yay! I'm particularly happy this Friday since we are heading into a long weekend here in the US. It's always fabulous having an extra day off work. Today I'm sharing a project using one of our Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes. I love these little boxes for gift giving. The decoration for this box is all attached to the wrap around the outside of the box. This allows the person to open the box without ripping apart the pretty … [Read more...] about Harvest Meadow
So Thankful
In the US, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It's a day when we come together with family and friends to show our love and gratitude for one another and for all of life's blessings. Thanksgiving is also the unofficial end to the Fall season. I realize it's technically still Fall for several more weeks, but as soon as the leftover turkey is wrapped up and the pumpkin pie eaten, it's time to break out the Holiday decor. So, I've got one more Fall card … [Read more...] about So Thankful
New Class To Go: Fall Gold
I had so many compliments on my Fall Gold sampler, that I've turned it in a Class To Go. The kit comes with full instructions, all the pieces pre-cut, and ready to go. Each of the supplies for the four squares are packed in individual bags to keep it all organized. The kit itself is $15, and the stand is $3. The stand comes in natural wood tones. I used a basic white acrylic paint to paint mine white. I can ship the kit to you. Postage is … [Read more...] about New Class To Go: Fall Gold
Pretty Plaid
Sometimes you need a quick card for a friend just to let them know you're thinking of them. I love the bright pink colors of this card. It's perfect for a girlfriend. Nothing says Fall like some pretty plaid colors. I think this is one of the few times that I've used almost an entire pack of pattern paper. In fact, I've used so much of the pack of paper, I have almost nothing left to use in the Holiday colors. I better order more … [Read more...] about Pretty Plaid
Always Grateful
Happy Friday! I'm so happy it's almost the weekend. How about you? Even though most activities and places still aren't open, I still seem to busy all the time. And that's why I'm just getting around to mailing out my July Customer Thank You cards. Yikes! What am I doing with all my time? Even though I'm super late sending these, I still appreciate my customers. In good news, I have started the August Thank You cards. I hope to have those … [Read more...] about Always Grateful
