I love the Beetles and Bugs stamp set! As soon as I saw it in the Occasions Catalog, I had to have it! Today, I finally sat down and used it! I indulged myself this week and went to the bookstore in town. I haven’t sat down to read a book in months. We have a great little… Read More »
I just couldn’t resist using a new stamp set and a new color when I was stamping today! I finally unpacked enough of my craft room that it is functional to sit and stamp. It feels good to have the table set up along with my Big Shot station. I also found my tripod so I’m hoping to… Read More »
I hope this post finds you doing well! Thank you for hanging in there with me as I get settled in my new locale! I thought I might get a chance to make a video today, but alas…I couldn’t find one of the pieces of my tripod to make it all work! After 2 months, I still have… Read More »
I finally had a little time to stamp. I haven’t had a chance to design any cards for the past several Paper Craft Crew challenges and I decided I would just schedule in some time today!

Just a quick post today to share my Paper Craft Crew card with this week’s sketch. I’m still unpacking…it may never end! I’ve been trying to do 4-8 boxes a day and I have to say that I am exhausted! I still have not found the box with my ink pads and markers and I’m still missing half… Read More »
I have to say that the last 5 months have been some of the most stressful months of my entire life! Buying one house, selling another and packing up 32 years worth of stuff (a high percentage of which is craft stuff!), really takes it’s toll. In between closing on the “new” house and then the old house,… Read More »

I’m not really the Black Tie Gala type of gal, but this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge is to create a Black Tie Gala card or project. For me, that means tone-on-tone, black, white and silver. It also means as clean and simple as possible. I’ve kept it simple with a white-on-white using the Gently Falling embossing… Read More »
Just a quick post to share my card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. I used the Pretty Pines thinlets dies to create the pine bough and pine cone. I added a piece of the adhesive sheet to my cardstock before cutting the pieces out with my big shot. This made the die cuts with adhesive… Read More »

We have been so busy the last 6 weeks going to open houses, finding our downsized empty nester dream house, painting and packing to get our house ready and then showing it to prospective buyers…I just have not had time to stamp or to blog! I haven’t sent out a newsletter in ages. My New Year’s resolution (assuming… Read More »
Don’t you just love the sentiment on this card? Christmas Wishes From Across The Miles. Since I live 500 miles from my entire family, this is an especially personal sentiment for me at the holidays. This card was created from this week’s Paper Craft Crew Sketch! I’ve used the Warmth and Cheer Designer Paper Stack, the Santa’s Sleigh… Read More »
It really feels like the sky is falling here on Eastern Long Island! We have had a bumper crop of ACORNS this year! They seem to be falling by the buckets and I have been pelted on the head more than once just walking across the lawn! My card today is an Ode to the Acorn! This week’s… Read More »
