I finished creating 21 total cards from the Watercolor Wishes card kit yesterday. The kit makes 20, but the blue & white striped card below were printed front and back on the card so I cut it in half and attach each piece to standard Whisper White card base to get 2. I did this for one (hence 21 cards) […]
Stampin' Up!
Ah…back in my craft room, finally!
I finally made it back into my craft room this weekend after over a week of no paper crafting. How did I manage you ask? Not sure, but it felt great to have spent most of the weekend making new projects! I opened my new Watercolor Wishes card kit and it’s so pretty, pictures don’t […]
Handmade for the Holidays – lots of choices
This year’s holiday catalog has 17, yes 17 bundles that include a stamp set with either a coordinating punch or framelit dies (and saves you 15%)! Where to start, where to start…oh so many options. So far my favorite is actually 2 – the Festive Fireplace bundle and Happy Scenes bundle! So many ways to use them, they are […]
One of my favorite things…decorating for Halloween
Remember the Sound of Music song about “my favorite things?” I want to share one of mine from the new Handmade for the Holidays Stampin’ Up! catalog. There are several kits that will help you with your holiday projects. First up, Halloween. I don’t send out Halloween cards, but I do decorate and make treat […]
Wait, it’s September?? What happened to summer?
I can’t believe the summer is over (although it’s still hotter here in Texas than most other areas get in the height of the summer!). September means that the holidays are just around the corner and I need to start planning now for Fall, back-to-school, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. The best thing about this time of year, other […]
Oh Baby thank you cards all ready to give!
Last Friday’s “Baby Shower’s over” I showed you some darling examples of those much needed “Thank You” cards. Well I finally finished a set for my friend Lekki as one of her “baby gifts” from me! I figured she’d get so much of the usual baby things, that she’d need lots of darling thank you cards, so […]
What to do with all those new baby pictures?
The baby shower is over, the thank you notes are done, but you have all those darling photos of the shower and the new baby stuck on your phone! Yes, you always have your phone with you to show everyone, but don’t you want a quick and stunning way to showcase your new little one and a […]
Baby shower’s over, now for those darling thank you cards
Yesterday I shared my ideas for a friend’s baby gift for the shower I’m missing tomorrow (yes, it will be late, but it needs to be personalized once the baby is born). Meanwhile she’s going to need lots of thank you cards for all those gifts she receives at the shower. So what do think about a […]
Capture your life with pictures!
I bet you have tons of photos on your phone, on Instagram and Facebook, right? I don’t think I’ve actually printed a picture in over 10 years! Yes, I have posted some on my Facebook page, some I’ve emailed to family and friends. But most of my pictures for the last 10 years are on my iCloud […]
