I'm sure "Back to School" is not something some people want to see in July ., . . but others may be very much looking forward to it!  When I sat down to design a charger with the thought of September, the two things I came up with were apples and school, so, I thought why not combine them? This picture really doesn't do the colors justice.  The red used is Cherry Cobbler red for the apples and the new ribbon which will be coming out in the Holiday Catalog.  This charger will be perfect to display in a little over a month from now! I have shared all three charger designs now. If you Continue reading

Here's the Birthday themed Seasonal Decor charger for you.  I wanted the effect of a cute birthday cake with a little banner topper, kind of like the little toppers that were in the Paper Pumpkin Kits this month. What do you think?  Cute?  I like it.  I think it will be cute to display when someone in the household is celebrating a birthday! There's still time to make this charger yourself!  You can attend the class on the 30th or receive your kit in the mail.  Simply contact me.

I'm excited to share the new Seasonal Decor designs with you!  This set of three includes some special occasions that might happen anytime during the year, birthdays and anniversaries.  I think it's fun to have a fun little something to display for those special occasions, not just "big" holidays!

I'm sorry I've been missing on here for a couple days.  Life has been a bit crazy with the passing of my Grandmother, going out of town for her funeral, Independence Day at my parent's, my sister coming to visit  . . .  I'm sure you get the idea. Despite the craziness, I have had a bit of time for creativity and of course for the Baldwin, MD Tech Club meeting and Jenna's Party yesterday!  Would you like to see one of the projects from the party yesterday? Continue reading

This picture may or may not look exciting to you.  There isn't a really a lot to it . . . unless you take note of the new punch shape, then it may be very exciting!  This is the new Artisan Label Punch which will be available in the new Idea Book & Catalog next week. Would you like to see what I've done with the new punched shapes? I punched 50 of them  and put them on Rich Razzelberry card stock inside a 12x12 frame.  Why? I am trying hard to meet a goal of earning a free trip for my husband and I to San Diego with Stampin' Up! this fall.  I am slightly over 90% of the way there Continue reading

We had fun making the Comfort Cafe Wreaths yesterday!  I meant to take some pictures during class but unfortunately, I forgot.  I'll just have to say that the wreaths turned out beautifully and you'll have to take my word for it. Continue reading

I received a box of eleven fabric bags from my Mom on Saturday!  I cut the Stampin' Up! fabric for these bags and then my mom sews them.  Many of these bags are made with ! fabric from the spring catalog.  They're so fun! Continue reading

Well, I'm back with another Black & White card for you today.  Even with this little bit showing in the picture, don't you just love that texture?  Oh what did we ever do before the Big Shot and Embossing Folders? Continue reading

I spent way more time than planned in my kitchen yesterday but I'm pleased with the results of my labor.  Don't these look good?  I need to get them out of my house quickly, they're some of my favorite cookies and I've been doing way to much taste testing! If you look closely at the packaging, you may notice some "old" things and you may notice some "new" too.  Do you see anything new?  How about the stamp from the new Label Love stamp set which is coming out the new catalog!  Some of the Baker's Twine I used along with the little clothespins are coming in a special packaging bundle too.  Continue reading

I thought you might like to see a little peek at the project I'm currently working on.  I will be directing a summer camp at Shrewsbury Christian Academy in the mornings this summer and I'll be in charge of crafts for VBS at church so I thought it would be fun to make a fun banner I can use at either one or both.  I have a bunch of the Sale-A-Bration DSP and card stock is no problem around here . . . It's a work in progress but I'll share another picture when it's done.  I can't go wrong with all those colors, right? I have some baking to do today for Teacher Appreciation Week.  I can't Continue reading
