How to Use Up Your Scraps for Scrapbook Layouts
If you’re like me, you have a tough time parting ways with pretty paper–no matter how small the piece is. I’ve definitely gotten better over the years by trying to hold true to my new rule of the “scrap” must be at least a 3″x 3″ piece before I save it. For this reason, today’s blog post by Close To My Heart definitely piqued my interest!

Quick Cards with Cricut
Things have been pretty busy here this week preparing for my Annual Holiday Extravaganza Class & All-day Crop.

Random Act of Cardness Smile Card
The September Stamp of the Month, Random Act of Cardness, might be my all time favorite Stamp of the Month (okay, maybe not out of all the years but definitely of the more recent ones!) I love the sentiments. I love the fonts. I love that it includes little icons. I love that all the sentiments are so useful.

Black Ink Pads–Which One is Best?
As a stamper, many times it can be confusing as to which particular black ink pad we should be using for which project. Yesterday, on Close To My Heart’s Blog, they did a wonderful post comparing the different Black Ink Pads and when it’s best to use which one of them. It was a great comparison and one I think all of us could benefit from. Plus, there are great project examples for each!
