I'm seeing lots of posts about back to school. It's hard to believe that Fall is right around the corner. If I didn't see all the school supplies and pumpkins at the local stores, I don't think I'd believe it since we've been having a heat wave here. Since Fall is almost upon us, I thought I'd start sharing some Fall projects with you. Today's project uses the Ringed With Nature bundle and the free coordinating Rings of Love Sale-a-bration … [Read more...] about Easing Into Fall

Hippest Hippos
So far, one of the most popular items from the Sale-a-bration Catalog seems to be the Hippest Hippos stamp set, and the Hippo Dies appear to be a close second. I've seen so many cards and projects with the Hippos online. So many people have done an amazing job coloring in the hippos with our Blends alcohol markers. I love the fabulous coloring, but speaking from experience, I don't always have time to do that coloring and shading. Taking the easy … [Read more...] about Hippest Hippos
Thank You
Happy Friday! I'm back today with more Tea Boutique Suite. I love our Kraft colored boxes with these gold dots. These boxes are perfect for a small treat or gift. These boxes ship flat in a package of eight. I think they'd be great as a thank you or party favor for a shower or a party. You could use them for teacher thank you gifts. In this picture, you can see the pretty scallop detail along the edge of the lid. These boxes are 3.5 x … [Read more...] about Thank You
Cup of Tea
One of my favorite Suites from the new Catalog is the Tea Boutique Suite. I love the stamp set with the matching dies, and the adorable pattern paper. The pattern paper is a 6x6" pad. The patterns on the 6x6" paper are reduced down, which is perfect for card-making. The finished card is 4.25" x 4.5". I started out with a standard card size of 4.25" x 5.5". Then I scored the bottom 1" up. On the right side, I trimmed off the card stock at … [Read more...] about Cup of Tea

Don't worry, Easter isn't for another few weeks, but it's just the right time to start planning those Easter goodies that you're going to pass out.

With this gorgeous floral paper from the Sale-a-bration Catalog. The Daffodil Afternoon pattern paper is one of my favorites. I love the big bold patterns in this paper. And the paper works so well with the Daffodil stamp set. Today's project uses one of our tiny clear boxes for treat packaging. The 3x3" clear boxes were originally designed to hold tiny note cards. I love to use them for candy or tiny gifts. You might have noticed those … [Read more...] about I’m Still In Love
Happy Valentine’s Day
Today is the day.. it's Valentine's. The Sweet Talk Suite includes these adorable treat boxes. They are the same size as the old fashioned heart candies. I remember the candies from my school days. They were one of the things that was good at the time, but I've discovered better treats now. But they still have a nostalgic feeling. To decorate the box, I wrapped card stock around the outside and then pattern paper on top of the card stock. I … [Read more...] about Happy Valentine’s Day
