Now that all the kids are back in school, it's fun to make school-themed treats. Who am I kidding??? Any excuse to make fun treats works for me!

True North
I just love the new Come Sail Away suite. I'll have a class later this month that features this suite, and in addition to the projects we'll make, I want to have some other items on display. I always have a number of cards and at least one box or other packaging idea. But how… Continue reading True North
Progression of a Card
Yesterday I had an idea for a simple 3" x 3" card while I was at my day job, so I did a quick sketch and worked on it in the evening. I think this was the hardest simple card I've ever made! LOL! I thought you'd get a kick out of how it progressed… Continue reading Progression of a Card
Paper Pumpkin “On My Mind” Unboxing
My Paper Pumpkin kit for July arrived last Wednesday - earlier than I expected! I thought you might like to see what came in the box. I love that it's a complete kit and comes with everything you need to make the monthly projects. Even better, it's portable with enough extra room in the box… Continue reading Paper Pumpkin “On My Mind” Unboxing
Throwback Thursday: Wisteria, My Friend
Throwback to an old favorite, Blossoms Abound. This is a wood-mount two-step stamp set from 2006 - long before Stampin' Up! was making the photopolymer clear stamps. What a challenge to line the images up! I've been cleaning out retired things over the past months, and I had just earmarked my old Stamp-a-ma-jig to go.… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: Wisteria, My Friend

Normally, I tend to get a late start on my Christmas cards, but I can officially say I've got a… Continue reading Christmas in July: Painted Harvest Ornament Card
Birch Bird Box
The Bird Ballad suite is my absolute favorite set of products in the new annual catalog. I held a class in June featuring it and these are all but one of the projects we made that day.

A Fresh Start
I love Stampin’ Up! I love being a demonstrator for this company. I love that I have the flexibility to shift how I run my business so that it works for me at every stage of my life. I’ve been a demonstrator for 17+ years now, and a few years ago I needed to scale… Continue reading A Fresh Start
Special Delivery
I love those little mini pizza boxes from the Holiday mini catalog! I paired one with the Special Delivery stamp from the Merry Little Labels set, trees from the Card Front Builder thinlits dies, one of the sweet little Season of Glitz mini gift bows. The background paper is the deer pattern from Be Merry… Continue reading Special Delivery
