What a crazy end to a crazy month! I am taking a deep breath and saying goodbye to winter. I know it's April - but if you live in the midwest.....I feel as if I have not taken any kind of a long break over what seems to have been a very long winter. It seems that it was just Christmas and a couple of days later I got the flu. Since then it has been months of playing catch up! Have you ever had a period of time where you tread water to stay afloat? In March while we … [Read more...] about Shimmery Lillypad Lake with Glimmery Brusho Sunset

2018 New Stamps, Colors, Cards and What's Coming!
Oh, it's been a busy week! And it is just Tuesday, lol.It is one of those weeks that I consider a favorite, but it one that is also a lot of work! It is new catalog week when my demonstrator team gets together to stamp all the new projects that I have ready for them. I used to do a lot more...as many as 16!....but that just stressed them out. I am "done" with these 8. If I get everything ready then I may go back and add one or two more - if they have time to make … [Read more...] about 2018 New Stamps, Colors, Cards and What's Coming!
Hand Delivered Meets Share What You Love Sneak Peek!
Today I have a little something different for you! I will be short on words in my blog post - because my video is going to HAVE the words! Most of them are sped up and set to music (I can't talk - I would sound like a munchkin - I don't have the editing software to add my voice back after speeding it up!) When I was working or waiting for a golf match to start....I didn't have time to watch longer videos - so my goal is for most of my videos to be accessible for those of you who may … [Read more...] about Hand Delivered Meets Share What You Love Sneak Peek!

2018 Sneak Peek! Aussie Animal Outing mixed with Nature’s Poem
When you attend a Stampin' Up! event it is usually the practice that in our welcome bag (which is always a trendy fun kind bag in itself!) there is at least one stamp set inside.

2018 Retiring Stamp Set: Little One – Welcome Baby, Teepee Card
Last weekend I attended a Stampin' Up! event in Atlanta. When Demonstrators get together - we like to swap cards!

BBQ, Father's Day or Masculine Birthday Apron of Love Card
This is the second in a series of cards using the Apron of Love bundle. This time I took it a whole new direction - no Bridal Shower look, lol. Although you COULD use it for another Couples Shower card if you want - how cute for the guy's gift?!I did use the Dad stamp for a Father's Day or Dad's Birthday card - but you could switch the background up with a wood emboss or wood paper background for a generic male card.Here is your Short and Simple video! Head directly to YouTube … [Read more...] about BBQ, Father's Day or Masculine Birthday Apron of Love Card
Cute Bridal Shower or New Home Card with the Apron of Love Bundle
Hello from Atlanta! I am busy in the hotel room trying to get this posted before the big party (Like it's 1988!) starts in just over an hour.... I got back from Ireland after nearly 2 fun filled (and totally exhausting weeks) LAST Friday.... with Easter and Jet Lag and just trying to get everything in order home wise and work wise this past week has been rough. Even the party theme *1988* was melancholy. That time of my life was a transition from living in Scotland to moving to … [Read more...] about Cute Bridal Shower or New Home Card with the Apron of Love Bundle

This is an easy to make Celebration card from Camp. I pulled out the fun Daisy Designer Paper that I have had hidden away since Autumn.

The stamp set will only be available til the end of March. The dies are … [Read more...] about Amazing You Floral Celebration Card with Glimmer Paper
Heartfelt Blooms with 3x the Sale-A-Bration!
This card is another from March camp. It is such a fun technique. I have tried to find the demonstrator's site who came up with it - she called it Black Ice. I was sure that I saved it - but now I don't know if it is on my phone, laptop, Facebook...or just where I marked it - and the technique seems to be everywhere.....I am flying through these posts before our trip. When I get home I will look again to see if I can find her name. I know that she mentioned she and … [Read more...] about Heartfelt Blooms with 3x the Sale-A-Bration!
