Most everything I post is cards, cards and more cards with a few treat boxes & bags thrown in. But every once in a while, I get asked to do “make something” for an event. My niece is pregnant and of course there was a baby shower. The theme of the shower was “Children’s Books”.… Continue reading Stamping is not just for cards

Playing with Scraps
When you’ve used up just about all of your Designer Series Paper...what do you do with the little pieces? What about all those little pieces of leftover ribbon? Or left over cardstock? Do you throw them away? I keep them...all of them.....all sizes, all shapes, big pieces, little pieces, skinny pieces.... Because if you save… Continue reading Playing with Scraps
This Little Piggy…..Says Thank You!
I have a little spot in my house....that is mine....all mine....and it’s set up to be my crafting spot. I could call it a “Crafting Cave”....but it’s not in a basement, so it not dark and cave like.

Giraffes in the Midst (of Leaves)
My title is a really bad play on words....Gorillas in the Mist.....Giraffes in the Midst (of Leaves). I’m going to blame it on the fact that I was on vacation last week and was out in the sun a lot, might have baked my brains. But it’s back to reality....no more 80 degree sunshiny days....back… Continue reading Giraffes in the Midst (of Leaves)
One Design – Two Different Cards
Recently I was playing around experimenting with some water color backgrounds when I was making Valentine cards. Some of my attempts were not good...so I just put them aside thinking maybe I could use them for something else. Besides I hate to waste paper. One of the instagram people I follow does beautiful watercoloring.… Continue reading One Design – Two Different Cards
