Today's project is one that will begin a series on Scrapbooking or Memory Keeping. What I WON'T be doing is showing you a full scrapbook or giving you a list on here is what to do to get ALL of your pictures done by the end of a set amount of time.... Life is busy and moms already have enough to do. Let's not add anymore to that. BUT - how about we DO get SOME of the memories recorded so when your kids move out you at least have a few things here and there that are not IN … [Read more...] about Cheri's Scrapbooks!

Picking Some of my Most Pinned Projects!
I needed to pick a few of my most projects from the past year that represent my "best work" from the last year. Ug....how do you even do that, lol. So - I turned to Pinterest and just went with what seemed to be popular over there! It seemed easier to let other people choose for me.This card was one we just did the week at Camp - everyone who did it loved it. It is actually a 2 in one project. But my pick would be the second card that is created. You … [Read more...] about Picking Some of my Most Pinned Projects!

Tropical Chic – Stamps and Dies with Something A Little Extra Special!
Today's project is another one of my August Camp projects. I fell in love with this bundle when I first saw way back in April when we got our catalog at the sneak peek 80's night in Atlanta - it has been a WHIRLWIND since then! I am not even sure WHEN I ordered the bundle, but I AM sure it has sat neglected all spring and summer long til now. But no more!Today's video is a little quicker - as the card itself is super easy to make! Next week the Bundle will be the featured … [Read more...] about Tropical Chic – Stamps and Dies with Something A Little Extra Special!
Blended Seasons Summer Card with Aquapainter and Ink Pads – Facebook Product of the Week
Today's project reminds me a little of the Telephone Game we played as kids. You remember, you sat in a circle and the first friend whispers a phrase and by the time it gets to the end of the circle - it resembles the first phrase....but it has been changed to a whole new fun and usually silly version of the original?! Well, hopefully my card isn't silly - but it is a Telephone Version of sorts!The ORIGINAL card - if you are a Stampin' Up! demonstrator - can be found in last week's … [Read more...] about Blended Seasons Summer Card with Aquapainter and Ink Pads – Facebook Product of the Week
Angels on Earth – Italian Old World Style Embossing Paste Card – How to Find Design Inspiration
Today's project is SO MUCH FUN!I am not sure what to call it - I know there are others out there that have probably done something similar. I like to do original work, so I don't spend much time at all looking at tutorials (I know, I post them and I don't know that I have ever even watched an entire one on Youtube, lol) It is part of the reason I LOVE to get the Preorder. There is nothing I enjoy more than getting products that have not been used before - I pop open the box and … [Read more...] about Angels on Earth – Italian Old World Style Embossing Paste Card – How to Find Design Inspiration
