Love your site and your tweets! Thanks for the chance! My fav tools are my nesties (and I keep buying more and more!). That mini-book is a super-cute idea (my kids love stuff like this...gotta remember that!).
How-To Video: Mini Photo Album & 7Gypsies Binderie GIVEAWAY!
Hello. I have a video and great giveaway today. You all know what a big fan I am of great crafting tools. Well, I was putting together a little mini photo album the other day (a simple design that I make often) and realized that it used many of my favorite tools. So I decided to do a video sh...

Forever Friends
Man it's amazing how much extra time a person has when they're one kid short!! Veronica got to go on her first camping trip this weekend with Brownies (a junior-version of Girl Guides) and left yesterday and we won't see her 'till tomorrow! ACK!! I miss her like crazy but know she's having a bla...
Mmm...love the layered die-cuts! Great colors too!
Raspberry Bloom
My friend Lauren created an amazing card using Sketch 06 from a new to me sketch challenge blog, Unscripted Sketches. I decided to use this week's Sketch 07 with Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #7. I tried to stay true to only the three colors in my design, although I kept trying to ad...
Gorgeous...love the DP you chose!

Ha ha! I get asked this question all the time. Frankly, I am too lazy to actually post everyday and plug someone else's crap to agree!
Dear Paperlicious: Advertising on the Blog
Dear Paperlicious: Have you ever thought of selling ads for your blog? Signed, Company With Huge Advertising Budget Dear DWHAB: While I appreciate your company's need to reach a large and diverse audience willing to spend $$ on your product, I would NEVER compromise my integrity as an artist...

Love this Joan! And the more "modalities" the better. And I will never leave you!
Dear Paperlicious: Facebook and Mr. DP
Mr. DP: What are you doing? DP: Facebook Mr. DP: What happened to your blog? DP: What blog? Mr. DP: No, seriously. You hardly ever work on your blog anymore. DP: Quit exaggerating. I've been on facebook for less than a week. I already have a ton of friends. Mr. DP: Do you know any of the...
Love that pic too! And you're right about the pay cut...at least the company isn't just laying off a whole bunch of people. Good luck!
Blessings
Today has been an odd day. I'm still trying to process it all, and thought I'd share. We'll start with this morning. 6:30 am. I get out of the shower. I'm running late. I am drying off, dragging the comb through my hair... the usual stuff. Jake runs into the room and climbs on the bathtub ...
You need to start writing a book...
As a political junkie, I just love how you transform the news of the day into all these stamping scandals! Maybe if you followed Canadian politics, I could similarly be as interested in what goes on in our Parliament!
Dear Paperlicious: From "Mr DP"
Dear Paperlicious (aka Joan) has been removed from control of her blog by a unanimous vote of her family. The impeachment was prompted by evidence found in her emails that she was engaged in a pay for play scandal, accepting free stamping goods in exchange for postings on her blog. Joan boy...
Gorgeous with a capital G! I love how you mixed the DP on the first one esp.!
Flourishes Wednesday; Two for you
You know how one idea leads to another? Well so often, I don't get to run with the next idea, but since both of these were fairly simple cards, this time I did. I was working with Flourishes' "Summer Blossom" set, looking at it in a new way, and I'm really pleased how they turned out. Thi...

Stained Glass Blossoms
It's Verve's October Project Parade! This month our challenge is to emboss...heat or dry emboss. Well, I love heat embossing. In fact when I first started stamping I embossed everything! These days I try to be moderate about it but you have to admit, it's still a pretty impressive techn...
Super duper set...love the ol' school colors!
Fairy Tale Weekend Sketch Set
I decided to go wayyyy back in picking my papers for this week's challenge set. Do you remember Cranberry Crisp, Buckaroo Blue and True Thyme? Well I had decided I would work with Little Paper Shop's "Fairy Tale Adventures" stamp set, and the retired designer paper set "Treehouse" seemed t...
Love this...great color palette!
Flourishes' Friday; Inspired Design
I find myself keeping lots of little things that inspire me. Tags off clothes, shopping bags, flyers...especially the home decor kind! So guess where the inspiration for this card came from? I was leafing through my flyers yesterday, and I was really drawn to the layout and colours in th...
Gorgeous work on the challenge...I am still mucking with mine (this was too hard!).
Little Paper Shop Design Team Challenge; Shabby or Chic?
Time for another Little Paper Shop Design Team Challenge! This month Allison challenged us to create a vintage or shabby chic card. That is definitely a challenge...both are totally out of my style range, but of course that's what makes it a challenge. I decided I wanted to give a shot at...
Super work esp. using that DP!

Dear Paperlicious: Question From "K"
I received this question from "K. Rebecca Oehlers" over at Hemidemisemiquaver. Dear Paperlicious: How do you think the upcoming debates will play out due to this incredible bump after the RNC? Signed, Becky Oehlers Dear What's this "K" all about?: Why is everyone picking on Palin's daughter's ...

OMG...nuff said. And I am about to jump through my TV and kill Andrea Mitchell of NBC who says that Biden will have to change his style in their debate since she is a woman. I thought the whole point of feminism was so that we were treated exactly the same. I hope he goes after her foreign policy credentials just as if she were Tom Ridge or Mitt Romney. Ahem...what credentials?
Dear Paperlicious: VP Nom Palin
Dear Paperlicious, Any comment on McCain's pick for VP, Governor Sarah Palin? Signed, Joe "Born in Scranton" Biden Dear JBISB: I suspect that Governor Palin is a wood mounted rubber type of stamper, KWIM? I read that she supports teaching creationism in the schools. Anything that teaches kids ...
This is super...the gold embossing is brill!
Little Paper Shop Preview Day 4: Beautiful Things
Oh I love this set! It's a floral set, so that's a given, but it's also a 2-step stamping set, which for those who are colouring challenged like me, this is perfect. Of course you can also colour if you're so inclined, which is another reason I love this set! It's called "Beautiful Things"...
