So much new stuff this week... new stamps, dies, markers... yes, markers! My wonderful husband had the postman bring me my first set of Copic Markers. They are Magnificent. What surprises me the most about them is how soft the tips are. A quick story- last month I went to Pretty Pink Posh’s Birthday Party.… Continue reading Scene Building with New Stamps
I few months back I watched a YouTube tutorial featuring the Radiating Rays stencil by MY Favorite Things. I ordered the stencil almost immediately... then never used it. Crazy, right? Ha! I’m sure there’s fellow crafters out there who understand how this happened. I finally decided It was time to get it out. Wow! It’s… Continue reading 4 Cards/1 Stencil

After a long day with a teething baby and dreary rain outside, my husband gave me the night off and told me to go to my craft room. I quickly obliged.

It feels good being back in my craft room. I took nearly a month off. After helping my dad heal from surgery, I now have some free time again. But only a little free time...

Now that my dad is more independent, the holidays… Continue reading Christmas Thank You Cards
Simon Says Stamp December card kit is adorable! Doodlebug Design’s Milk and Cookies paperline is the theme, and matching stamps and embellishments are included. I immediately thought about... Cookies! There’s a cute little gingerbread man stamp that inspired this card. I pulled out some coordinating cardstock and got busy. I started with a top folding… Continue reading Gingerbread Recipe Card
