This has been the state of my work table the last month. I've been super busy restocking all my past Sampler kits. I've restocked about 10 kits and have four more to go. It's been a busy month cutting and punching out lots and lots of paper. You probably noticed these are Easter kits. Yes, I keep the kits stocked up the entire year so you can purchase them whenever you need it. If you're interested in any of my past kits, just search … [Read more...] about Kits Restock

September Sampler-Once Upon A Time
A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I had a second Sampler to release this month and today is the day! Before I show you the new sampler, I want to give you a little back story on how it came about. I really wanted August's Sampler to be Disney-themed, but I was debating the traditional Mickey colors or going with the castle colors. I ended up with going with the Mickey theme for August, but I still had some great ideas with the castle, … [Read more...] about September Sampler-Once Upon A Time
September Sampler-Apple Season
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
August Sampler-Best Day Ever
One of my favorite places to visit is Walt Disney World. I love the rides, the food, and the resorts. I've been lucky to have visited Walt Disney World a dozen or so times. And I have to say, it never gets old for me. So, it's really no surprise that eventually one of my Samplers would represent Disney. Because Disney really is the Best Day Ever. I'm so thrilled with how this particular sampler turned out. The roller coaster worked better … [Read more...] about August Sampler-Best Day Ever
July Sampler – Let Freedom Ring
Independence day has come and gone for another year but I couldn't let July pass without creating a patriotic Sampler for this month. Honestly, this one was a little bit of a struggle. I had a hard time figuring out how I was going to make fireworks because I really wanted fireworks in July's Sampler. I tried a couple different things, but none of them looked quite right. But I think the red and blue sparkles in the top left square are a … [Read more...] about July Sampler – Let Freedom Ring
June Sampler: Good Vibes
Surf's up! School is out for the year and in SoCal that means it's time to hit the beach. There's nothing quite like the relaxation of sitting on the beach with nothing to do and nowhere to be. Cold drink in hand and toes in the sand. Won't you join me at the beach? Several people have asked what I do with the samplers. I use them as home decor pieces in my home. I change it out every month seasonally. Several customers have used them in … [Read more...] about June Sampler: Good Vibes
Dad Sampler
Today I'm sharing my brand new Sampler in honor of dear old Dad. Oh boy, this was a tough one. What does Dad like? As I thought about it, I realized Dads like a wide variety of things. There are the sporty Dads, hobby Dads, cooking Dads, and Dads who work in an office. I tried to pick things that represent a wide variety of Dads. My Dad didn't golf, but I know a lot of Dads do. My Dad liked nice cars but was usually fairly conservative in the … [Read more...] about Dad Sampler
Mom Sampler
Happy Monday! I'm ahead of the game this month, I'm sharing my Mom Sampler weeks before Mother's Day actually happens. Certainly better timing than my Easter sampler, which I posted after Easter. For the Mom sampler I choose things that I know my mom likes, and probably a lot of other mom's like them too. Coffee and flowers are up near the top of the list. Plus I left a space to add a picture of your mom, or your mom and you, or you and your … [Read more...] about Mom Sampler
