Spellbinders Small Die of the Month – May 2020
Dies are one of the more expensive items in this hobby, so I tend to gravitate toward the more versatile ones.

It’s tough being so close, yet so far away from friends and family right now, so today I wanted to share a clean and simple springtime card perfect for letting loved ones know that you’re thinking of them. I created this card with just stamping for a change. When there’s a lot going on around […]
Spellbinders Large Die of the Month – April 2020
The warmer weather has finally settled in around my area and the grass has turned that deep emerald green that only lasts for the first month or so of spring. We’re spending tons of time outside now and my driveway is covered in sports equipment already! This is one of the reasons I was so […]
