Since I got so far behind in OnlineCardClasses.com’s Stenciled class, I decided to start on my card for Day 4 (today) first, and then work my way backwards this week as time allows. I really liked Julie’s use of a stencil to emboss and then ink her background, so I used a stencil I had […]
Polaroid Photo Banner
Let me preface this project post by saying one thing…I am really not a crazy cat lady! For the past 12 years, I have had only one cat. However, when my husband and I stopped by our local animal shelter this past New Year’s Eve to drop off our usual donation, we found ourselves […]
Stenciled Heart Card
For the first day of OnlineCardClasses.com’s “Stenciled” class, I was inspired by Debby’s sponging technique to make this valentine: I’m only about 80% satisfied with this…but it’s late, and I have more cards and a design team project to make tomorrow, so this is my final answer. I sponged the background with Memento Luxe inks […]
Flowerfull Heart Valentine
I just have a quick post today with a Valentine’s Day card I made using the “Flowerfull Heart” stamp from Stampin’ Up. I stamped the image onto some watercolor paper using Versamark ink and heat embossed it in white. Then I scribbled several different colors of SU markers over the top and blended them together […]
Mason Jar Vase and Matching Trivet using the NEW Silhouette Stencil Material

It is a little known fact that I actually bought my CAMEO for the sole purpose of creating custom stencils…but when I realized how powerful of a tool it could be, I quickly started using […]
Recycled Wine Bottle Candle Holders
Between the gift wrap, party supplies, and excess food gone bad, my garbage can is never more full than it is during the week after New Year’s Day. In all that mess, I knew there must be something I could repurpose using my CAMEO. I noticed that I had several empty wine bottles left over […]
Meal Planning Chalkboard
I don’t really make New Year’s resolutions anymore…I’m more of a year-end evaluation kinda girl. Over the holidays, while I was enjoying the many delicious pasta dishes, turkey leftovers, and cookies, it occurred to me…I’m an adult, and I still don’t eat my vegetables. And it’s not that I don’t like them, but I guess […]
Operation Penguin Card
Happy New Year (a little late)! I’m just starting to get back into my craft room and have a quick share for you today. A little while ago, Operation Write Home issued a call for penguin cards when one of their contacts, a Brigadier General, made a special request for his team. They are looking […]
