I thought you might like to see a few of the pictures I took at the Mother's Day classes yesterday.  I won't flood you with all of them, but here's a few! We had so much fun creating works of art!  (Well, I'll be honest, the attendees did the creating . . . I let them know what to do and then watched them do it!) I walked around snapping these fun pictures too!  Afterall, projects like this, that take a lot of tender love and care, need to be well documented! And look at the beautiful tea cup full of handmade flowers!  What a lovely job Patty! And here's Mary's.  Continue reading

I received my bundle of This and That supplies the other day and pulled them out yesterday morning.  I haven't decided what events I want to record in this book yet but I wanted to try out the new goodies so I just dove in. There are fun pockets and Washi Tape and stickers and more!  So much fun to be had! I kept it pretty simple since I'm not sure yet exactly what I want to do with the book, but even so, there's plenty of fun creativity to be had! So, here you can see a few peeks at a few of the pages I did.  I think these bundles would be a perfect gift to give to a Continue reading

I received some new bags from my Mom yesterday.  I really like this purple one, don't you?  This fabric is from the Floral District pack of fabric. We have a few bags in this fun new style.  It kind of reminds me of a beach bag style . . . do I have the beach on my mind or something?? And here is one more design out of the 11 I currently have available.  If you would like to see all of the bags available at this time, you can visit the StampThat Etsy Store.    The bags can be purchased from the online store or as part of a Stampin' On the Go Kit, see details below.  If you are Continue reading

Today is the Seasonal Decor Class!  I'm looking forward to some creative time as we are creative with the charger plates!  These make such a nice addition to any room, adding a bit of seasonal  excitement! This, of course, is the patriotic charger we will be making.  It's hard to catch the spark of the Champagne Glimmer Paper and the shine of the red charger.  It's such beautiful decor to use around Memorial Day, July, Veteran's Day . . . !

I can hardly contain my giddiness as I share this project today, I'm so excited!!  I had so much fun yesterday as I created my sample for the Happy Mother's Day class.  It's so pretty!! What do you think?  Isn't it beautiful?  It's so hard to capture the colors correctly.  The flowers are Whisper White and Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirouette.  The cup and saucer are Certainly Celery colored, despite the fact that it looks like neon green here. . . So, so pretty!  Won't this make a perfect gift for a mother on Mother's Day?  Or maybe it would be perfect on a side table in a very Continue reading

I was recently commissioned to make a wreath with earth tones and barn red.  Here's what I did.  Do you think I was able to capture what she asked for?  I'm taking it to her today, so I guess I'll find out.  I hope so! Here's a close up of some of the handmade flowers made with card stock!  Don't be fooled, they're not silk flowers, trust me, a lot of love and care went into making these flowers.  Aren't they lovely?  I had a lot of fun making them!  The colors are Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla, Summer Starfruit and Pool Party. I used the Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper to Continue reading

My parents surprised me yesterday by stopping by to drop off the latest batch of handmade bags!  There are ten new designs! I'll show you close up pictures of a few of them.
