A little while back I was asked to come up with some favors for a banquet at my church. The banquet was postponed indefinitely, but I went ahead and came up with my basic plan should the banquet be rescheduled. I probably would not use the wording pictured on this sample, but the general idea is in tact. Continue reading
Stampin’ Up! Framed Art – Spring Sampler

Happy Valentines Day 2014!
Today seems like an appropriate day for some roses! I've spent quite a few hours over the last two days working on a project for my house, to be more specific, a project for in my bedroom. You see, on Wednesday I was the crazy person who went to Walmart to buy ModPodge, amidst the crowds of people there to buy toilet paper, bread and milk before the big storm . . . . (too bad I forgot the ModPodge when I was at Walmart on Tuesday amidst the early crowds of people there to buy toilet paper, bread and milk . . .) Anyway, while I was there, I noticed they had some other items marked on Continue reading
Sweetheart Treat Bag Valentines
From time to time I get the sudden idea to do a little something for teachers or volunteers or . . . . Typically, when I get that urge, I want to do it immediately, not a week later and I don't usually have a lot of time to accomplish my idea. (Maybe that's because I never think of it before the last minute . . . . ) Since I'm always coming up with these ideas at the last minute, I like to keep a stash of packaging handy so I can be prepared. My stash currently includes some Sweetheart Treat Bags, Twisty Treats and Season of Treats! Here are some treats I recently put together with Continue reading
Back to School Banner
The boys have been home from school for a little over 2 weeks now, but today they're headed back! (Well, hopefully! They have a 2 hour delay . . . hopefully it won't be more than that!) The Chairman of the Board asked me to make a "Welcome Back" banner to greet the children in the lobby of the school. Sure thing, I can do that! Right away the Sale-a-Bration Heartfelt Banner Kit came to mind. The items in the kit are a bit small on their own for what I needed, but they a make great accent items when adding some card stock banners! Continue reading
Making Valentines With My Boys
Do you remember last Thursday when I said I was hoping my children would be heading back to school that day? Yeah, well, no. School was going to open that day, until they found a broken water pipe flooding one of the buildings at school . . . That means my boys have been home, and we've been trying to stay busy! On Monday I brought the all down to the Studio and put them to work on their valentines! Normally I make them, but this year, they're working hard on them! Continue reading
Modern Medley Picture Frame
Yesterday during the Winter Frame class I pulled out an extra frame and set to work on a new design, just for fun! I tried covering it with some card stock and Silver Fancy Foil vellum but didn't like the way it turned out so I ripped it off. From there I pulled out the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper and got back to work. Continue reading
