Pictures from Mom and Me
What a whirlwind spring! There have been tons of family visits, stamping events, and work deadlines. That has kept me away from my computer as much as normal but also means I have a backlog of great things to show you! First up, I thought I would share some of the projects we did…
Another Petal Pizazz pastel card
Late last week, my mom came up for a visit (a week after my MIL was here for a week visiting!) She was in town to join me at the Creating Keepsakes big scrapbooking convention in Portland this last weekend. The convention was an absolute blast and we stayed up waay to late Saturday night…
Playing with Pastels
ahhh… it feels good to back at the blog. I just getting over a yucky cold and just in time because my technique night was last night. We were playing with pastel chalks and between my cold and my half-cleaned craft room, I got a bit of a late start preparing for it. However, I’m…
Getting in a little stamping
Its been a crazy week for me but I’ve finally managed to sneak away to get a quick card put together and up on the blog. This last week, I was away in Dallas on a business trip and returned home to my Mother-in-law visiting for a week. And while all of that is…
BigShot butterflies and a fun candy purse

Two Stamping Challenges in One Card!
I sat down this evening to get started on my card kits for Saturday. And instead, I decided to try out a card sketch challenge. Then, I decided to get more ambitious and checked out SCS to see what color challenges were up. I haven’t participated in any SCS challenges before and I’ve been meaning…
My last index card – Sweet Stems
My last index card I needed to make for Splitcoast Stampers was for the stamp set Sweet Stems. I was hesitent to buy this set because I had bought and regreted Pocket Silhouettes, another small flower set. However, after looking at the stamp set and all the coordinating items (besides the stamp set you have…
And now for a little bit of muzak
Well, I finished my last index card last night and had a lot of fun with it. It is one of my rare, very simple cards. No layers even! Unfortunately, I waited until this morning to try to take a picture of the card before work (I’ve found the early morning light tends to be…
