I'm excited to share one of the options being offered in the Giftables class. I love how this turned out! It's a farmed piece of art with a 3d cardstock flower in the middle. The frame is approximately 13x13 with the flower approximately 10 inches in diameter. Now, I decided to use Silver Glimmer paper in the background and make the flower out of Basic Black. Note, you will have the option of various glimmer papers and Designer Series Papers for the background and you can choose the color flower you like. I know not everyone would like black like I did, don't worry, you'll have Continue reading
Owl Embossing Powder Storage
I've seen some cute storage ideas/containers for our Embossing Powders but I've always managed to talk myself out of them . . . until Saturday. . . . On Saturday I was in my favorite store. . . . Now I've seen our embossing powders stored in several different Keurig storage devises and I've always come up with some excuse not to spend the money, they were okay where they were, maybe not ideal, but okay . . . When I saw this owl, however, I knew I'd finally found the right one. Isn't he cute! I tell you, the good things really do come to those who wait! Not only did I find this cute Continue reading
This & That in San Diego
So by now, most of you know that my husband and I went to San Diego with Stampin' Up! recently, compliments of Stampin' Up! What you may not know . . . is that we had a little stowaway with us . . . Flat Stanley! Micah, my oldest, and his fourth grade class are studying their way across the United States this school year. One of their projects was to make Flat Stanley and ask someone to have an adventure with him. What better than going on a free trip to San Diego?! And what better way to record the trip than with our This & That Journal! I'm so glad I thought about using the Continue reading
New Envelope Punch Board
A little while back I told you about the New Envelope Punch Board Stampin' Up! if offering. Well, I finally bought one myself and of course I had to give it a quick try, just to see how it works. Here we go, I thought I'd try it out on DSP to match this card. I think it turned out pretty cute! DSP is especially fun since you get to see the design on the outside and a whole new design on the inside. Isn't it cute? Keeping it short and simple today. Have a wonderful day! Continue reading

Six-Sided Sampler & Backyard Basics
I pulled out the butterfly from the Backyard Basics stamp set to use with the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set for this card. It's perfect! This isn't the best picture of the card, but you get the idea! I saw a similar card and made my own version which you get to see here. My mom recently brought me four more Stampin' Up! fabric bags. Two of the four have already sold. The Floral District fabric bag pictured above is available . . . . . . as is this Comfort Cafe bag.

Wildflower Meadow Watercolor Card
I always seem to pull out the Wildflower Meadow stamp with bright colors. There are certain stamp sets that just seem to "require" certain colors to me. I'm not sure why that is. Am I the only one? How's this for a bright card? I hope you like it! Happy Tuesday! Continue reading
Background Builders on a Mini Muslin Bag
I have another little treat bag for you today. This time it is one of our new Mini Muslin Bags which can be found in the Holiday Catalog. I used the Background Builder stamp set to stamp directly on the bag and then created a little tag with a personalized Decorative Label Monogram stamp. The Mini Muslin Bags are 4" x 5 1/2" in size and they come 8 to a pack. How cute and fast is it to spice them up with a little stamping and then give a little gift? Love it! Bags can suddenly be decorated for any holiday or occasion in a matter of moments. How cute would this be for people how Continue reading
