Just Precious
Here’s a layout of my precious daughter Addison from her birthday party last year. This is one of the layouts we’ll be doing at my class this evening. {LOVE} this Topstitch paper!! And for good measure, here are some of the cards too!
Happy Mail
Check out the stunning card I received in the mail the other day from my friend, Rachel. Not only was I totally psyched to get a handmade card in the mail, but I was uber impressed with how she took the time to line the envelope in coordinating paper! Great detail. And I {LOVE} the … Read more Happy Mail

Happy Birthday Rachel!
Visit my friend Rachel’s blog and send some birthday wishes her way today! I made this festive birthday card for her using this month’s Stamp of the Month, Piece of Cake. It’s a super cute set with a lot of fun potential! But remember, it’s only available until the end of the month. I used … Read more Happy Birthday Rachel!
Back to the Basics
You know how sometimes the simplest of things can be positively stunning? Well, I believe this card is just that. It’s a basic, no frills card…just simple stamping. Gotta love it! The stamp set comes with all the images shown on this card…4 images total. It’s called “A Love“. The card was designed by Bharathi, another … Read more Back to the Basics
Rain, Rain Go Away!
Okay, I truly do realize that rain is not that bad of a thing. Most years, I love rainy days. It’s a great chance to stay in your jammies, curl up with a book, maybe take a nap (note: these things would no longer actually happen in my world with two 3-year-olds, but I do … Read more Rain, Rain Go Away!
Follow Your Heart
Here’s a card I made this evening using Jeanette’s Color Me Monday colors for today. I used the *NEW* In the Month of February Stamp Set along with That’s Amore Paper Packet to create the card. I added some Hollyhock Twill, Bitty Sparkles and of course, Prisma Glitter with Liquid Glass! Plus, one of our … Read more Follow Your Heart
A Quick Card
Made up a quick card tonight to play along with Jeanette’s Color Me Monday. Nothing fancy, just quick 🙂 Wanna play along too? Here’s this week’s colors:
A New Passion
Okay, I’ll admit it…I’ve become addicted to another craft. Ragg quilts. A friend of mine has a die for cutting out the squares. Which is no doubt why I love making them so much. Because quite honestly, while I love the look of them, I can’t really picture myself painstakingly snipping each edge of each and … Read more A New Passion

Have you seen our gorgeous new Felicity Kit especially for National Papercrafting Month yet?? It comes with beautiful papers, stunning die-cuts and a truly versatile stamp set. Not only does the stamp set have great images (birds, flourishes, etc.) but a whole alphabet too!! While the colors featured in this kit are nothing short … Read more Fun with Felicity
True Friends
It’s that time again (well a few days late, but who’s counting?!?), time for a new Stamp of the Month. This month’s “True Friends” is truly perfecto. With frames, brackets and sentiments about friendship, you just can’t go wrong. Last night at my monthly stamp club we created this wonderful card using this set. (spoiler alert for you … Read more True Friends
Love You Forever!
This *NEW* stamp set is just too stinkin’ cute. When I saw the new Spring Idea Book, this was the first stamp set I knew I had to have. I used the *NEW* Topstitch papers again (love ’em!) with this card. And while it was stepping out of my normal comfort zone, I did paper … Read more Love You Forever!
On the 9th Day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me…Framed-In Topcoats! These transparency-like overlays add a quick and unique look to your project in seconds. Simply use Liquid Glass to adhere them and you’re good to go. Here are a couple of examples from my Sweet Home Playgroup last month. (Sorry for the glare…no matter how I tried I kept … Read more On the 9th Day of Christmas…
On the 8th Day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me…Soft Chalks! Now I’ll be honest…I hardly ever think to pull out my chalks and use them. But man, they sure can make for a really nice, soft look to a project! In my sample I used Autumn Soft Chalks to color in my adorable images from the April Stamp … Read more On the 8th Day of Christmas…
