I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get this photo posted tonight! (A little technical issue on the blog side of things, I think, because it certainly couldn't be user error, right?) Anyway, here is a great little card that would be perfect for a guy... Continue reading

This paper. OMG. It is soooo gorgeous. This picture just does not do it justice. It is by far my favorite Stampin' Up paper ever. This was a super easy card that I put together in about 10 minutes or less, and you can do it too. Even if you... Continue reading

I did an earlier entry about our August 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit, Blissful Blooms. You may have seen it (if not, scroll down a little bit, and I bet you'll find it!) Anyway, once all the elements are used up in the kits, you still have the stamp set right?... Continue reading

Here's a quick and easy card to make for Halloween using the Stampin' Up cat punch and few other basic supplies. These would be great to make if you needed to have a bunch of cards but didn't have a lot of time to spare, or maybe you don't have... Continue reading

Paper Pumpkin has arrived! This month the kit is Halloween themed, and the contents included are intended to make super cute little treat bags, but since I don't really have much use for 24 treat bags, I decided to use some of the supplies to do an alternative project. This... Continue reading

This has been a crazy year for me and my family. I started a new job in March, and that alone can be quite stressful...meeting new people, learning a new job and wondering if I will be a good fit. To make a long story short, it was one of... Continue reading

This is the current state of my desk...as you can see, I don't even have room to do anything crafty and creative at the moment...much less find space to do any new tutorial videos, but I PROMISE that will change soon! Lots of stuff has been going on since about... Continue reading

Okay, so this isn't a Stampin' Up post, but that's okay, because I do a lot of crafting that doesn't include paper, stamps and ink. Today's post (and accompanying YouTube tutorial video) is a result of a few pictures that I recently posted on Facebook of some Fall deco-mesh wreaths... Continue reading

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..." Okay, it really isn't. And it certainly doesn't feel like Christmas here in Northeast Oklahoma today. I think the high temperature was 88 degrees. We had the furnace on two nights ago, and now I am sitting here, stamping Christmas cards with... Continue reading

Okay, it is FINALLY starting to feel more like fall, and I wanted to do another fall card. This time, I decided that I wanted to use last month's Paper Pumpkin - Layered Leaves - to make something a little different that what the kit was intended for. SO...this card... Continue reading

It's beginning to feel a little bit like fall here in Northeast Oklahoma - at least for the next few minutes. Give it a while, and the temperature will probably be close to 90 degrees again! But for the time being, I am going to enjoy it, and I decided... Continue reading

Okay, I totally cannot take credit for this idea...my mom found it on Pinterest, and I have no idea who the original "creator" was, so there...disclaimer made. HOWEVER, how stinking cute is this? It was really easy to make, although just a little bit time consuming when it came to... Continue reading

This is probably my most favorite stamp in the new 2017 Holiday Catalog. Painted Harvest. I. am. in. love. This stamp set is the epitome of fall, in my opinion, and fall just happens to be my favorite time of year. On September 1st, I am always making plans to... Continue reading
