Each year we try to make something that works well as a gift for a guy. Be it for your valentine, father, son, . . . . Last year's gift was such a hit, I knew it was going to be tricky coming up with something to top it. I came up with an idea, however, and finally got around to making it a reality. Thus far, I would say it has been a success. Continue reading
Cousins – June 2019
We had some fun times with cousins this spring and summer. I don't always remember to snap a lot of pictures when we're together because there tends to be a lot going on. I did remember to get some when we met up in Massachusetts though! And now there is a scrapbook layout to prove it! Continue reading

Sailing Home with Heirloom Frame Dies & Embossing
I'm sure you're starting to recognize the Sailing Home stamp set as I have share it a number of times now, but have you noticed the Heirloom Frame Dies & Embossing set? These are dies that cut out the frame shapes (rectangle or oval) and then embossing folders to emboss those frames. Check out the rectangular frame on this card. Continue reading
Cookbook Binder Class
I have a sneak peek of the Cookbook Binder to share with you today. I'm excited about this project and how versatile it can be! I decided to make my binder totally centered around our yearly Cookie Day. If you know me well, you know I love our Cookie Day, it's one of my favorite days of the year. A friend and I get together and we make well over 1,000 (yummy, pretty) Christmas cookies and split them. So, this binder is going to house the recipes we use along with our supply list and I think I'm even going to include a few pictures from previous cookie days in mine. I'm just going to Continue reading

The Boys Were Creating
I apologize for being absent for so much of the week! My older two boys had their Young Entrepreneur event this weekend and it's been quite busy with preparations. Today was their sale and I thought you might like to see a couple pictures. I like for them to make tags for their treats for this event to teach them that the details really do make a difference. As stampers, we know that, right?! You may recognize some things! Continue reading

Handmade Card for a Friend
Today's card looks pretty simple, but probably took a little more time than you might expect. Thankfully it was one of those cards that I used a new technique on and in the process of making the card it gave pieces to make two different cards. You'll have to check back tomorrow to see the second card and better tell what I'm talking about. Continue reading
