I picked up a couple of boxes of that kinetic sand at Michaels the other day as a small summertime gift for my niece and nephew. Since I don’t get to see them as much as I’d like, I always like to package these little presents up nicely before shipping in the hopes that they […]
Lawn Fawn
Using Leftovers from my OWH Memorial Day Bloghop Card
I don’t always generate a ton of scraps and half-colored images when I make cards, but it definitely occurs more when I’m challenged with a certain color scheme or sketch for another blog or online class. So, after a couple of attempts at putting together a suitable red, white, and blue card for this past […]
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 […]

And for some reason, once I pulled out one stamp set from Lawn Fawn to stamp the flowers, I started pulling out nearly every Lawn Fawn set I own to create the rest of the […]

The theme for this Monday’s Challenge is Autumn Leaves and I already had two wonderful House Mouse stamps in my collection to […]
Summer Card Camp – 10 Minute Challenge
Make that 17 minute challenge…it turns out I just can’t work quickly. I had a great plan: 1. use all the stamps and dies from the same set so that the design can’t get too complicated, 2. use paper piecing instead of coloring for the images, and 3. keep the embellishments to a minimum. Well…that […]
