How This ‘Failed’ Project Turned Out To Be A Success!
Remember last week when I posted about National Failures Day? Well, today I have a card to share that truly was a ‘fail’ but I surprised myself and turned it into a successful pocket card!

Teapot Easel Card
Today’s card is a spectacular one! I received it from my friend Cindy Herman (she does beautiful work and this card is no exception!) At first glance there are several striking elements to this card-the use of acetate, stamping on glitter paper, stamping on vellum…
Happy National Failures Day!
Today, August 15th is National Failures Day! That’s right… it’s a day to celebrate failures! Seems a little weird, right? But it’s actually a pretty good thing. In fact, the teacher my kids had the last 2 years of school taught their whole class that the word fail actually stands for:
F=first
A=attempt
I=in
L=learning
More Magical Gift Bag
Today’s project is a gift bag I created with the Close To My Heart More Magical Special. When you purchase the More Magical Workshop Kit, you receive instructions on how to create fun scrapbook layouts and cards. But there’s no reason you can’t create other items with this fun paper pack!
Heartfelt Thanks Card
Today’s card blends the beautiful rich color tones of the Documented Paper Collection with the lovely sentiments found in the Heartfelt Thanks Stamp Set. To finish off the card, I added the flower cuts from the Documented Cardmaking Thin Cuts (super cute!) as well as the heart shapes from the CTMH Artistry Cricut Collection. To shop … Read more Heartfelt Thanks Card

Let’s Do Lunch Card
Today’s card is one I received from Melissa Corbin-Ball. It’s simple, clean design is very appealing, right?

But I’m even more excited about getting together for lunch … Read more Let’s Do Lunch Card

Just for You Card
Today’s card is one I received from my recent swap (I’m trying to do better on sharing all these beauties! So many different styles, techniques and ideas, it’s a shame not to share them!) Unfortunately, the creator didn’t include her name so I am unable to give her proper credit.
