I absolutely LOVE the patterns in this new Sweet Pea Designer Paper Stack. Lots of larger patterns for Home Decor or Scrapbooking…but lots of small prints for cardmaking. The best of both worlds! I made this magnetic board for my roommate, Coleen, at Leadership. I was thrilled with how it turned out! Pretty quick and… [Read More]

CPS 148 – Happy Moments SAB
Here's a sneak peek of a Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration set, Happy Moments, coming out on TUESDAY, January 5! It has some FUN images in it…my favorite is the birdcage. However, the Birthday Cake filled my requirement today. I wanted to do the sketch from Card Positioning Systems. I liked that the birthday cake had a couple… [Read More]
Bloggers Challenge – Celebration!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you had a safe New Year's Eve and are enjoying watching all those football games today. Well, maybe you are stamping? I'll be doing a little of both. I hope to have my swaps designed, so I can sit and put them together while watching Ohio State play in the… [Read More]
Build a Bear Name Frame

Serene Snowflakes
Another card that fits the non-traditional color theme over on Latenightstampers! My upline received a similar card from her upline and I loved it, so had to CASE it! It uses the Tulipe Bigz Die (ON SALE NOW CLICK FOR DETAILS HERE!) as an accent. The Tulipe is cut and the center part and Melon Moss part opens… [Read More]
Decorated tins
At a recent craft fair, I was commissioned by a local high school PTO to make tins in their school colors for Christmas gifts for the high school teachers. Their school mascot/name is the "Shamrocks". I made 206 of these nugget tins, but filled them with Waggoners Buckeye Candies (an Ohio treat!) While they took… [Read More]
Elf Punch Art
This punch art elf is based on some of the images that have been floating around the internet, however, I thought he'd be cute holding onto a Christmas Letter to Santa! I started with a base card of Bermuda Bay card stock and stamped the snowflake from Stampin' Up!'s Winter Post stamp set randomly… [Read More]
