A stamping snack to tide you over
I finished my first week on the new job and then saturday did a day trip to Seattle to hand off some stampin catalogs and then go to the geekiest of all concerts – Video Game Live. Yes, it is a concert at one of the large broadway theaters where there was a choir and…
A Splitcoast Stampers Index Card – Game Night
Ok, so I’m not making any promises about how often I’m normally going to post during the week, but I have an interesting challenge ahead of me and I just had to get started last night. If you have ever been to the splitcoaststampers website, you may have seen that they have a gallery of…
A new job and a couple cards
Its only been a day and a half and I already feel bad that I don’t have a blog post planned. 🙂 I started a new job yesterday and between that and racing home to place my first new catalog order, I didn’t get any crafting done. So, today is just a quick post before…
A non-traditional valentines’ day card
As part of my SCS blogging group, each month one of the members issues a challenge to the group. For January, we were challenged to make a Valentine’s Day card without using red, pink, or white. What a challenge! I had a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that you could do such…
My card party cards – Love You Much and more

The jackpot of love
Alright, I’ve made it home and in between trying to catch up on all my home life stuff (those piles of papers and clothes didn’t seem to magically put themself while I was away, darn!) I wanted to post up another card I made over the weekend. Game Night is a new Spring/Summer set that I…
Posting from the train plus new catalog highlights
After spending 6 days at my parents, I am finally heading home. I’m so happy that the Amtrak train is running. After the ton of snow the Pacific Northwest got over Christmas, the water levels were high from the melt-off. Then, this week it started dumping buckets of rain causing tons of flooding and mudslides,…
Playing with blog themes
Ok, I was getting kinda tired of looking at my old blog theme, especially when so many of the blogs I visit look super cute. So, I’ll probably be making some tweaks and hopefully it won’t be too hard to read. And besides, maybe a cute blog theme will make my cards look better too. 🙂
