Today’s project is one that we created at my Technique Time Class last month with the September Stamp of the Month–Just Treats. I love this stamp set. And even though you can no longer order it, I figured I’d still share this project as it’s a fun one (and many of you probably own the set!) This project is one I’ve made for years–in different sizes and different styles–always with great results!
Today’s card is one I received from one of my Close To My Heart team members, Deb Mandac. It’s a wonderful example of a simple yet stunning Gate Fold Card.
Today, September 25th, is National One-Hit Wonder Day. How fun, right? It’s interesting to check out a list of the top 100 (this list is from 2012 so it’s a little dated, but I liked that it just took a quick glance to check out the songs!) As I looked through the list, there were several I recognized. One stood out though…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! How did you celebrate? This was the first year that my kids didn’t make any leprechaun traps–so no shenanigans occurred in our home. I’m not sure if it’s that we had too busy of a week and it got overlooked (on the kids part) or if we’ve finally hit that age where they no longer need it. Over the years, I’ve posted several ideas–from pranks to treats–on how to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with kids.
