Fancy Florets Embossed Card
Today I thought I’d share a card I got to make at an event this summer hosted by my way-upline, Julie Gunhus. She is one of those demonstrators who have been around for over 10 years and now has a huge downline. She is so sweet to put on big group get togethers a couple…
Beau Chateau invitation Sample
I recently asked folks who visit my Facebook page if they had any requests for types of projects they would like to see, and one request was for a baby girl shower invitation. Well, after creating my baby girl scrapbook page, I was inspired to try out a matching design for a shower invitation. So,…
A Baby Girl’s First Scrapbook Page
While cutting the paper for my designer paper share, I got a chance to really take in the different designs and was surprised to find myself drawn to the Beau Chateau pack. See, normally I think vintage is pretty and all, but it isn’t usually my style. Then I saw the pink patterns and since…
On The Road Again!
When I was just out of school, my friends used to give me a hard time about the fact that I was always traveling. They must have been right because its time for another trip! We’ll be heading out tomorrow for the San Francisco Bay Area with my Mother-in-Law to lend support to my family…
A Little Watercoloring with On The Grow
I decided to participate in another challenge with week – again with the Late Night Stamper group. This week was challenge #133 and you were to create a thinking of you card that has blue on it. Seemed easy enough and so I grabbed my poor neglected On The Grow stamp set from the summer…
Easy Events Sparkly Fun Birthday Card
Happy Saturday! Saturdays are for fun right? I plan to head out to a local berry patch with my family to pick blueberries…which should be interesting with a 1 year old. But I figure that given that he is so good at picking the berries off our bushes at home (especially the green ones!) I…
Cheery Berry Blossom Thinking of You Card
Earlier this week, I held a card class with my meetup group (if you are in the Seattle-area, I’d love to have you join us!). I was using convention displays as inspiration for the four cards we were going to be making; but after designing the first 3, I decided that my 4th card was…
A Little More Convention Inspiration
Well, today is my day to photograph some of the recent projects I’ve made to share with you; so while I work on that, I thought I’d share with you a few more swap cards I received at convention. These were all cards that when I saw them I just had to trade for them. …
Simple Is Beautiful Too
When looking at card samples online and at events like the Stampin’ Up! convention, its easy to be drawn in to the “WOW!” cards. You know, the ones that surely took someone multiple hours to make and look like they should be hung on a wall as art and you could never bear to throw…
Fun with Pennant Parade and the New Pennant Punch!
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE stamp sets that go with punches. See I love my punches (you can never have enough punches), but when you can stamp cute images in different colors and textures and then can punch them out instead of cutting them out by hand – Brilliant! That is why…

A White Only Card– LNS Challenge 131
Whew! Nothing like a deadline to get me to hurry up and post a card I made this week for a challenge the the Late Night Stampers yahoo group. Each week they post some kind of project challenge, and this week sounded really interesting: Challenge 131: Only use white in your project except you can…
