An Everyday Enchantment Valentine
Hopefully you had a chance to enjoy the blog tour earlier this week. I loved playing with the new Sale-a-Bration items for my projects and so I reached for them again when I was working on a card for a long-distance workshop I have coming up. I was working within the constraints of what stamps,…

Scrapbooking Sunday: Mixed Bunch page
Since the end of last year, I’ve started to get on a scrapbooking kick. I realized that I had a lot more fun and was much faster with scrapbook pages when I started from a sketch and so I started playing along with some sketch challenges. This was a page I created based on a…
A Slightly More Masculine Thank You
Today I wanted to share the last of the cards we made at a recent class of mine. The other cards all were flowery or included pink so I figured I ought to try to come up with something for the more manly folks in your life. (Plus I really wanted to use my Stripes…
A Birthday Card for a 2 Year Old
December is a big month for my family… its my birthday, now my daughter’s birthday, Christmas, and my son’s birthday. This year my son turned 2 and even though he wouldn’t really notice the card in the sea of wrapping paper and family – I still wanted to make him a fun little card. So…

Part 1 of a Fall Progressive Scrapbook Page
While cleaning my room, I ran across some project kits from past Stampin’ Up! regional events. One of them was from a year or so ago and was to make a 8.5 x 11” scrapbook page. I decided the colors would be perfect for our trip to the Pumpkin Patch this year and so I…
Clean and Simple Fall Card
What do you do when you stamp an image for a card and you decide it isn’t quite right for what you were doing? I often find myself saving the image because “it’s a perfectly good image that will be great on another project” aka I’m a pack rat! But, here is an example when…
