I just got back this afternoon from Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event in New Jersey and I am full of energy and ideas to share with you, but those will have to wait just a little bit (need to get all my thoughts and ideas together). Today, I wanted to show you the detail in the Stitched Framelits that arrived while…

I have been working hard all week to get some videos made and post them to YouTube – all an incredibly big learning process. My videos are not perfect, but they do teach and reflect who I am. “Perfection is the enemy of progress”. So, without further adieu, I ask you to subscribe to my new YouTube channel to supplement…
I often get asked how I stamp my own background paper to look like it was pre-printed. It’s really quite easy so I thought I would share the technique with you with my first ever video!!! Watch here and then come back to see the photographs of the cards and the supplies I used. What did you think? A few…
Do you ever forget to send birthday cards in time for the actual birthday?? Still send them!

These lovely people visit my website, Facebook page…
I went to a baby shower today and haven’t been to one in a long time. Who doesn’t love babies?? The powdery smell, cute gurgling noises, soft skin, pudgy cheeks, oh my! This shower was for a baby boy and had a travel theme. The invitation was super cute and looked just like an airplane ticket/boarding pass. I decided to…

I’m not a fan of eating strawberries, peaches or pears (I’m a citrus girl), but I am absolutely in love with the Fresh Fruit set from Stampin’ Up!’s annual catalog. I first saw the set in Utah when I was at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event and knew I wanted to do a summer class with it. I decided to craft…
