This Wednesday I shared my Gold Medal Ribbon winning Sheep (you can see that post here). I hear Fence Jumping has some serious competition and the practices are rigorous. It seems the judges tend to fall asleep as they count the sheep jumping over the fence. Ha! Okay, sorry, lame joke. After reading the post, my Mom suggested I should make one more Olympic themed card in honor of the end of the Olympics. Well, I loved her idea. … [Read more...] about And the Olympics Are Over

Gold Medal Sheep
I'm kicking off my Sale-a-bration sharing with a nod to the Summer Olympics. My lovely little sheep just won a gold medal in fence jumping. Ha! I did my best adding what's supposed to look like a gold medal around the neck. I think it's good enough. The Counting Sheep stamp set and the Sheep Dies are both Sale-a-bration items. Plus the gold medal is made from the Be Dazzling Sale-a-bration paper too. The Sheep Die set is pretty amazing. It … [Read more...] about Gold Medal Sheep
Starting Tomorrow
Our Holiday Catalog starts tomorrow! Can you believe we are already eight months into the year? I don't know where the year has gone, but here we are getting ready for another school year and the Holidays are quickly approaching. I have my fingers crossed that Holiday Season 2021 is going to be better than Holiday Season 2020 (thanks, Covid). Every year, when I receive the Holiday Catalog, I debate over and over what to make first. I'm dying … [Read more...] about Starting Tomorrow
New At SU-Fall Gold
Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today we are showcasing products from the August-December Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I'm back today to share another Fall Decor piece. I found these simple wood stands at a local store and I thought it would be fun to switch out the decor seasonally. The stand came in a natural … [Read more...] about New At SU-Fall Gold
Hey There, Pumpkin
I was at the store this weekend and noticed they've already got Fall decor out. And it's over 90' degrees outside. I don't know about you, but if it's this hot, I'm not exactly ready to curl up with a plaid blanket by the fireplace and sip my Pumpkin Spice Latte. But that doesn't mean that I can't get out my Fall craft supplies and make a few cute things, just like today's card. My card today uses the Harvest Hellos stamp set and coordinating … [Read more...] about Hey There, Pumpkin
Wishing You Well
Happy Friday! The new Rectangle tins are going to be perfect for the Holidays. The tins are sized big enough to hold credit card sized gift cards or cash of course. I've decorated this one for Autumn. When you make something like this, you want the paper wrap to be taped to itself, rather than to the tin. This allows the recipient to slid the wrap off the tin, instead of ripping it apart. Remember to have your paper seam be on the top … [Read more...] about Wishing You Well
Little Treats Bundle
This year's Holiday Catalog is filled with tons of cute things to make for your treats. I love the mini coffee cups and the variety of tins, but today I'm focusing on the new Little Treat Box dies. This Little Treats box is tiny. I took it with me to shop for candy at the store. It doesn't fit larger candy like the mini M&Ms or Skittles bags. It does fit two of the Hershey Nuggets in it side-by-side standing upright. Or the Hershey … [Read more...] about Little Treats Bundle
Happiness is…
Cooler weather. Unfortunately, it's going to be another week over 90' here. If I think Fall thoughts and make Fall cards, will the temperature drop? Here's hoping! Today's card was inspired by one I saw online. I can't remember who posted it and I think mine is slightly different from what I recall of the other card. I'm still playing with the Love of Leaves Bundle. I think it took me a project or two before I realized the leaf dies made some … [Read more...] about Happiness is…
