Thanksgiving is just two days away and that means that it’s almost time to decorate for Christmas. Since I’m not quite ready to do that, I’m going to Deck the Halls with this card instead. I really like the angle design of this card. To make the angle, I first measured up 1 1/2” from… Continue reading Deck the Halls
Cheers! Yes, it’s time to celebrate. This is my 200th blog post! I should have hit this number a few weeks ago, but I’ve been super busy lately and my blog has gone on the back burner.....but I think I’m just about caught up on everything, so keeping my fingers crossed I can get back… Continue reading Grab a Cup of Christmas Cheer!
When you think about the winter holidays....and I’m talking about both Thanksgiving and Christmas....what come to mind? Turkeys? Snowball fights? Caroling? Christmas trees? Lights?

Here is a close up.....so you don’t have to… Continue reading Classic Christmas with Toile Tidings
It’s been a long week and as I’m writing this it’s only Tuesday.

Each paper in the Feels Like Frost Designer… Continue reading It’s All About the Paper – Feels Like Frost

I made 27 cards and 3 fancy box treat holders, all with a holiday theme. Four are Halloween Cards, twenty six… Continue reading A Card(inal) for Many Occasions
Had a little delay in getting this posted....so it’s now only 96 days until Christmas! Unless you’ve been perusing Stampin’ Up’s 2019 Holiday Catalog, you might not know that this post is going to contain a Christmas Card.

I’m still not done with Christmas Cards.....but usually I’m only making one....that means that anyone who gets a Christmas card from me will get something different! This card requires very little stamping....only the sentiment is stamped because the Santa’s Workshop Designer Series paper does all the work. The little elves are cut directly from the… Continue reading Merry Little Elves
When I first saw the Santa’s Workshop Designer Series paper with the whimsical elves and Santa & Mrs. Claus....I wasn’t really enamored. I don’t have small children anymore...my two daughters are long past the wonder of Santa Claus, Mrs. Clause and his elves. But I purchased it anyway because it was the only “fun” looking… Continue reading Mrs. Claus Dreams of Snow!
I had the chance to travel to Orlando November 7-11 to attend Stampin’ Up’s OnStage Live celebrating their 30th Birthday. Part of the fun was being to be able to “swap” with other demonstrators. Swapping is when you make a card (or 40 cards in my case) and swap them to receive cards that other… Continue reading Swapping
