Setting Up for CKC + A Christmas Snowflake Card
Whew! All the crazy planning, organizing, and prepping for the Creating Keepsakes convention finally has come to a head as we unloaded into the Meydenbauer convention center today to start our set up. So, first, a big thank you to everyone for being so patient and supportive as my head was spinner over the last…
Faux Quilted International Bazaar Thank You
With today’s card, I was trying for something that could be “manly” or at least not pink and frilly. So, while flipping through my designer papers, I thought the International Bazaar pack would be a great one for the guys in my life. I mixed and matched the papers from the pack in strips…
Getting Ready for CKC Bellevue 2012 + a Coupon!
I know I share a lot of cards with you but I also love scrapbooking…and crops… and well, learning and sharing pretty much everything crafty. So, I love when the Creating Keepsakes convention comes to town. Well, this year, I decided to go for it and signed up to host a Stampin’ Up! booth in their…
Split Second Digital Scrapbook Page
I love scrapbooking and I love the look of dimension on my pages; but sometimes the speed and ease of digital scrapbooking is exactly what I need! And for the last week, Stampin’ Up! has been offering some free digital downloads and so I decided to put some of my favorite pictures together in one…
Vellum Fun with Everything Eleanor
How about a clean and simple card for today? 🙂 This is one of those cards that started out SUPER simple but I kept thinking it needed just a touch more here and touch more there until I made myself stop with this: This card all started because I was going to CASE a…
Anyone Want Some Free Cards?
Part of the fun of creating cards is playing with new stamps, paper, and embellishments… but its even more fun to share your creations with others! Over the last 5 years, I’ve been creating, selling, and giving away cards; but through moves and some big card swap events, I’ve ended up with more cards that…
Fabulous Fall Card with Emboss Resist
I don’t know about you, but when I was walking around with the kiddos yesterday, it hit me how the trees have seemed to go from green with some reds and yellows, to almost bare with some reds, oranges, and yellows barely hanging on! I guess I can’t pretend that Fall isn’t totally here. 🙂…

Happy Halloween! Plus some tips for your Artist’s Tray
Halloween is finally here and while I didn’t get all of the projects I meant to get done for Halloween, I did have some fun this weekend getting ready with the kids. I love the fun crafts and activities that go with the holiday season. In this case, carving pumpkins, painting little pumpkins, or…
Quick Halloween Card Idea from Guest Artist- Pam!
I have a tendancy to overthink my projects and card designs. Even when I’m CASE’ing a card, I often find myself trying to mix it up a bit and tweak it and what should be a quick card turns into much much longer. Usually it is a fun journey, but sometimes you just need a…
A Birthday Card for the Men in your Life
It can be a struggle sometimes to make masculine cards… there are just too many pretty ribbons, flowery stamps, and sparkles! But as part of my Fabulous Fall card class, I tried to throw in some cards for the guys; and this was one that we made: See, no ribbon! No flowers! 🙂 Yes, I…
