  • Button Buddies Flower Fun

    I know we are in fall time and so a lot of the projects are rich colors and holiday themes, so I hope you don’t mind me going off in a completely different direction with this bright and cheery card! This was one of my “scraps” cards.  As in, I have a terrible time throwing…

  • Video Review of the Stampin’ Trimmer

    Ok, I promised in yesterday’s written review of the Stampin’ Trimmer that I would get this up for you, so here is a quick video I made of checking out and trying out my new trimmer for the first time.  I’ll walk you through the new and improved features and you’ll get to watch me…

  • Review of the new Stampin’ Trimmer by Stampin’ Up!

    I’ll admit I get excited everytime I hear a delivery truck go by followed shortly by a doorbell ring… but yesterday I was more excited than normal.  All because my new Stampin’ Trimmer was set to arrive and after 5 months of anticipation, I finally got to play with one on my craft table! So…

  • Manly Monday Card–Happy Hour

    So, I’m coming off a fun weekend where my Fabulous Fall class focused on fall colors and cards that could be used for guys.  So, while I go take pictures of those cards, I thought I would share another card that I love that follows in that theme of fall and/or manly cards. (I would…

  • Pennant Parade “Framed” Christmas Card

    I hear from almost everyone I meet when stamping the infamous phrase “I’m not creative”… so I thought for this month’s team meeting, I’d share an idea for a card that was completely inspired by a card in our demonstrator magazine Stampin’ Success.  It was all about taking an idea you see somewhere, getting inspired…

  • Halloween Colors but not a Halloween Card

    This afternoon, I finally got to have some quality time with Photoshop on my computer and finished editing a bunch of project photos to share here on my blog.  However, when the time came to pick what to share with you tonight, I kept gravitating towards Christmas cards, and while I can’t wait to share…

  • Pretty Perfectly Preserved Pears

    Talk about a tongue twister, huh!?  🙂 Well, after a great weekend away with my mom (we flew to Utah late last week for a weekend scrapbooking retreat in Utah), I’m back and blogging.  I have to say, there is nothing like a weekend dedicated to creating and actually having the time to get some…

  • 10–11-12 — Giveaway!!

  • Orchard Harvest Thinking of You Card

    Orchard Harvest was one of those designer papers that I loved as soon as I saw it in the catalog and so I had to get some.  But then my fear of using things up kicked in and I just looked at it and couldn’t bring myself to cut it up. Well… as I look…

  • Getting Monochromatic with the 2012 In Colors

    I have a friend who hosts Stampin’ Up! workshops for me from a couple states away (she lives in Colorado, I live in Washington), so I send her a project and some fun samples to share with her friends who come over to stamp. This time, I wanted to let everyone see what the new…

  • Fluttering Hearts Wedding Card with Framelits

    I love it when I find a great idea for a card that I can tweak and make my own (with so much amazing talent and inspiration out there… its nice to have some brilliant ideas to start from!) Well, today’s card came from a mass-produced card I saw probably 9 months back.  I wish…

  • Peek-a-boo Emboss Resist with Raining Flowers

    Oops, I was so focused on getting the first week of my 12 weeks of Christmas newsletter ready that I totally got behind and forgot to get this post up! Well, I’m fixing that now.  (and if you want to get exclusive holiday ideas sent to your inbox, just make sure you are on my…
