I promised myself that I would finish off my to-do this weekend before starting the March Paper Pumpkin kit. I got so close to finishing it too, but ran out time by Sunday evening. But I did get some major tasks done that I really thought would take a lot longer. One of which, was scraping the popcorn from my bedroom ceiling. My daughter came over and helped me tackle that giant project without any complaints. In fact, she was quite the … [Read more...] about That Pesky To-Do List

You’re Going to Need to Buy That Paper
I went a little crazy making projects with the Mediterranean Suite and this is by far my favorite. This is a mini clipboard that I decorated with the pattern paper from the Suite and lots and lots of layers. I have a few of these mini decorated clipboards that I've decorated through the years hanging in my studio. It's a great mini canvas that I can use to decorate my space. To make this project, you definitely need the Mediterranean paper. … [Read more...] about You’re Going to Need to Buy That Paper
August Magnet Stand Kit-Fall
One of my favorite Fall activities is visiting an apple farm and stocking up on apples, cider, and apple pie. When we go, I always hope for a cool, crisp day but in SoCal, it's typically still around 90' in September. So we do our apple picking in shorts and t-shirts. It's been a few years since we've been, but it was always a lot of fun. To help you get ready for your Fall decorating, August's kit is dedicated to apple season! This is one … [Read more...] about August Magnet Stand Kit-Fall
The Haunted Mansion
Before I get to today's project, I just wanted to share a reminder about October's Join Special. For our 35 Anniversary, Stampin Up is running a Starter Kit promotion from October 3rd to 31st. There are two different options to pick from. And now for today's project... the Haunted Mansion wreath. This mansion is created from a set of dies to create a variety of houses. The set has a bunch of different sizes of buildings, plus add-ons to … [Read more...] about The Haunted Mansion
I’m No Quitter!
Well, I finished up my paintbrush experiment and it came out better than I hoped. I started by cutting off the dried hot glue from my first brushes that I had colored with re-inker. There was just no salvaging that hot glue. Every time I re-heated it, the red ink just ran out all over the place. So back to square one. I used the rope hot glue to glue the paintbrushes upright. The rope hot glue I purchased came in a 6' length. I ended up having … [Read more...] about I’m No Quitter!
And Now For Something Completely Different…
I recently saw online a really creative craft idea to add some colorful decor to your craft studio. The person used paints in her project but I'm going to give it a try using our re-inkers. Any guesses what I'm going to make? This is either going to turn out to be amazing (fingers crossed). Or we shall never speak of this again. Either way, it should be a fun attempt at making something completely different. I'll share my results next week. … [Read more...] about And Now For Something Completely Different…
Somebunny To Love
Easter is right around the corner and I thought it would be nice to have some new Easter decor this year. I found these frames online and they are relatively inexpensive. Perfect for a small piece like this that will only be on display for a month or so. To make the layered frame, I used some glue dots to hold the pink and white frames together. Then on the back side, I used our foam strips to tape the two pieces together. You could also use … [Read more...] about Somebunny To Love
