It’s that time of year for me – time to stock up on my boxes and bags for upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, babies and other celebrations! This past week I worked on creating a variety of gift box and bag ideas. I’ll also use them for my upcoming class on “Gift Boxes & Bags Ideas.” The Stampin’ […]

You’re the Best Friendly Wishes
Another challenge template for my “You’re the Best” card to thank someone for what they do. Hopping back another week, I looked up Connie Stewart’s SGGWW 7-22-16 challenge template. Using templates makes card design so much easier, all you have to do is pick your favorite papers and colors combinations. I love B&W with a pop […]
More card ideas and no fuss!
I’ve been showcasing my Paper Pumpkin alternative cards to show you how easy it is to use the monthly Paper Pumpkin kits. But here’s another option to make a lot of cards, for a lot of occasions, really quick! It’s one of Stampin’ Up! All-Inclusive kits, this one is called “Oh Happy Day.” It makes 20 […]
What…another month gone by?
How can an entire month have gone by since my last post? Travel…lots of it! And slow, uncooperative wifi signals. Oh well, just got back and now I have May’s Paper Pumpkin kit! Can’t wait to finish my Project Life album of our last two trips (one will be done this evening-YAY!!), then onto my […]
More candy boxes? Are they ever going to stop??!!

Every time I think about quitting since I figure have enough different designs, several more ideas pop into my head. Argh…soon I will have more Valentine’s Day boxes than people I know! And I know I’ve gone over to the dark […]
It’s the weekend and where’s my creativity??

But it’s also exhausting trying to keep up with them. I admire my younger friends who are working, crafting […]
Granddaughter’s card creation
My 11 year old granddaughter is here with us for the week attending Senior Space Commander Camp before she heads back to school next Monday. She wanted to make a card for her brother who starts high school the following week. She said I could share her creation that she made last night. So here it is. […]
The ultimate party centerpiece
Now that you created those cute party favor boxes and the incredible banner, you’ll need a beautiful centerpiece for that party you are hosting. It’s time to try an “over the top” idea with the Stampin’ Up!’s Sweet Stack project kit – a “cake” that also holds surprises for your guests. And the best thing about this kit is that you can reuse the […]
