If someone required me to make cards in one style, I would pick clean and simple. This week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge is a clean and simple sketch. Sometimes less is more. I don’t know what I find so appealing about a fairly monochromatic color scheme and a lot of empty space on a card. I used… Read More »

This is the time of the year where we are all looking for deals on items that we will need throughout the “most wonderful time of the year”! I find myself shopping online more and more as the stores become increasingly crowded. I also don’t have small children to buy for who want the latest, greatest, hottest… Read More »
I have so much to share with you, but I’m going to save it all for another day. I have a quick post for today for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week’s challenge is Very Vintage! So many stamp sets have vintage images, but I couldn’t resist using the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper. I… Read More »
There are a few things that I love to do just to regenerate after a stressful day. I love to spend time in my craft room. I love to take long walks and I love to ride my bike. The new Crafting Forever stamp set really captures my crafty heart! Once again I find myself turning to Stampin’… Read More »
This crazy school year is finally coming to an end this week. Friday can’t get here soon enough. Between the move and my son breaking his back, it has been a crazy overwhelming few months. I’m really looking forward to getting the rest of my craft room unpacked and tidied up. I made a very quick card for… Read More »
This week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge is a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge and it has some interesting combinations! For my card, I chose one of the diagonals that included the water element, the summer challenge and clean and simple. I used the new and quite fabulous So Many Shells stamp set. This is a two step stamp set with some… Read More »
I can’t get enough of these watercolor pencils that Stampin’ Up! has come out with! If you haven’t tried them, they are well worth the $16 price tag in 13 of Stampin’ Up!’s pretty coordinating colors. I used the Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay pencils. I stamped the dragonfly from Dragonfly Dreams in StazOn permanent black… Read More »
I have to say that it felt great to sit down and make some cards today. I also took another trip to that great bookstore in town! I created a card for the design team at The Paper Craft Crew and decided to enter it in two other challenges. This week is the Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge blog’s… Read More »
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! I found the box with my ink pads last week and got those unpacked. I still can’t find half of my card… Read More »
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 »
