Today's post will be short - but the card is super fun! So take a few minutes to watch the video here (or go over to YouTube so you can see it a little bit better!) This is a project featuring an upcoming bundle "Sitting Pretty" As with many of the new bundles - they do so much more than JUST cut out the images now. This was the first card I used the embossing mat on and I didn't really know what I was doing..... there will be better uses of it to come.This weekend I had 2 … [Read more...] about Sitting Pretty Missing You Card with Macrame' Succulent and End of Camp Blast Sale

Shimmery Lillypad Lake with Glimmery Brusho Sunset
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

Fabulous Friends Fridays
One of the best parts of being part of the Stampin' Up! Family is all of the talented friends you have the opportunity to make. On Fridays I am going to take some time to share with you some of their talented artwork. Here we go....The paper on this cute Christmas card is part of the October Buy 3 Get 1 Free Special. I would say it is my favorite pack (because maybe it is - you will see it a LOT over the next couple of weeks!). But there are some great papers in the … [Read more...] about Fabulous Friends Fridays
A Shiplap Feeling of Christmas!
Life in my little Stampin' Studio sort of feels like a whirlwind at the moment. So much is coming up - it gets easy to get overwhelmed....I am looking forward to the day when I am finally a bit ahead of the game instead of still working toward what is coming up. There is so much in store - and because I am working on all of THAT - keeping the social media game up to date....well, that is what suffers. So, today, I have a pretty for you - and then starting next week - the plan … [Read more...] about A Shiplap Feeling of Christmas!
Back home and Back to work!
This summer has been a whirlwind! It started with college graduation, a special wedding and three trips right in a row. Spent some time in Kentucky with my daughter, sister, nieces and grandnephews. Amusement parks are so much fun - and that is just multiplied when you throw in a daring 5 year old! Then it was off to Williamsburg, VA for some more amusement parks, history and golf and the Outer Banks, NC for some beach time. Back home for the 4th and a low key 23rd … [Read more...] about Back home and Back to work!
Always and Forever: Wedding Season!
We had a very special wedding in our "family" this weekend. Earlier this year we made the invitations and then when I got a copy of the new catalog and saw the Always and Forever stamp set - I knew I would have to go with a different set when it came time to make the wedding card and the Thank You's. The set is very on trend with the wood themed rustic weddings right now. The couple had hand made wood burned magnets for the guests.I also wanted to get a head start for them on a … [Read more...] about Always and Forever: Wedding Season!
Good Friend – Online Workshop Card 5!
Our online workshop continues today with another easy card. I hope you have enjoyed the cards made with just a few supplies and nothing really fancy. Today's stamp set is one that comes in a Big Shot bundle. For this first card- I am only using the Stamps. I also went back to the Foil Frenzy Designer paper - because, well, it is just so STINKIN PRETTY! The pictures don't do it justice. This video you get to see me fiddle around with the ribbon (sometimes my bows are … [Read more...] about Good Friend – Online Workshop Card 5!
