A couple cards for my new Meetup group
Since I’m pretty new to the Bay area, I recently decided to start up a Meetup group as a way to meet new folks and find some other like-minded crafty people. Today was our first meetup, and so I planned a couple cards for us to work on over pie at Marie Callendars. Between work…
A little love with the Rough Type alphabet
So, the May scrapbooking promotion was the kick in the pants I needed to commit to getting the rough type alphabet stamp set. I loved the idea of a high quality clear mount alphabet but was initially on the fence. Well, the incentive of free designer brads was enough for me to just go for…
Shades of Spring quick card
Oh my goodness! Can you believe it is April 30th already? Where has the time gone? Well, I had to post my last card from the “traveling with limited crafting supplies” series in honor of this being the last day of the Occasions Mini Catalog since everything but the base cardstock are from the mini –…
Getting back to stamping!
Wow, its been a while since I posted. I have to admit, I’ve had lots of intention, even taking pictures of cards I’ve made but yet I never had a chance to post. Well, today is the day to actually get pictures off my camera and up online! Today’s card is one I made a…
More from Stampin’ Up regionals
I have so many awesome things I saw or made at last weekends regionals that its going to take me a few posts to share the best with you. I can’t imagine how many pictures and ideas I’m going to come back from convention with. It should be a blast though! I just had…
One more card using the BigShot
Hi all! I know, its been a little bit since I posted on my blog and I blame it all on the Twilight series of books by Stephanie Meyer! My friend Kally got me hooked on the series and I found myself spending the last two weeks spending my lunch breaks and evenings powering though…
Another card organization option – a year in a box!
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been slowly trying to get my crafting supplies, partial projects, and completed projects organized so I can actually find what I’m looking for in less than 20 minutes. 🙂 Well, when my mom was visiting last month, she brought with her the instructions for a great project. Using the Forget-me-not…
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…
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…
