Love the bokeh!
STAMPtember(R) Blog Hop
Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Blog Hop! Simon Says Stamp was founded in 2002 with an interest in exclusively selling rubber stamps. It didn’t take long until we realized we couldn’t stop there. During the past 11 years we celebrate rubber stamping in its full glory by giving ...
I love the wild cards, especially in this collection. They're just so sweet!
Card Inspiration and Give-a-way time!
Design Team member Stacey Kingman makes the cutest darn cards! Check out this one that she made recently using the Ducks in A Row collection. We just love how she used those wild cards! So, I have a couple of those wildcard packs to give away... anybody interested?? Just leave a comment ...
Use early morning or late afternoon light for great warmth in your photos.

I'll say 999.
But The Price is Right fan in me wants to say 1!
How Many Yards of Ribbon?
This week we've got another fun guessing contest for you! Linda's mother, Vi, has filled this suitcase with spool after spool of yummy A Muse ribbon! How many yards of ribbon do YOU think are in the suitcase? (And remember, there are at least two layers of ribbon spools, which means they'...
I <3 magazines. For those that I love, like Real Simple, Martha Stewart Living, Saveur, and PaperCrafts, I need to have the real thing in my hands. I like flipping the pages and find almost as much inspiration in the ads as I do in the regular content.
Do You Love Magazines? (& a Giveaway!)
Hey there, Friends..... How do you feel about magazines? I have to tell you that I'm a total magazine girl. I just love that thrill of pulling a new magazine out of my mailbox. When I get a new issue, I can't wait to get comfy and page thru it, soaking up all the creativity, the ideas, the...

Although I love all of the new shapes, I'm most excited about the 4x8 number sets. No. 73 is exactly what I want for the month-by-month baby album I'm starting to put together for my son. The lack of 1s in most alphabet sticker/chipboard sets means I'll never get to month 12 without buying several sets or finding the perfect dies, like these!
June Release
Everyone knows that the home is where the heart is. It’s also the place where you and your family experience everyday life, with all the adventures and catastrophes that it entails. These new shapes are perfect for capturing your favorite moments at home from potty training and laundry, t...

I sew occasionally. Usually with a machine, but I'm proficient with a needle too. It's a rare hobby/skill among my friends, most of whom went to the same engineering school I did and are in their late 20s and early 30s. Sewing tends to take a backseat to my other creative hobbies because it requires so much space.
My mother taught me when I was just a kid -- her sewing machine lived in our dining room along with an old cabinet full of notions and a vintage buffet/roll-out table packed with fabric. (She also had a large knitting stash, leather-working supplies, and a wood workshop bigger than most people's garages.)
I love sewing my own Halloween costumes, which can get quite elaborate, but have had limited success with my many attempts at everyday wear. I also do curtains, pillows, upholstery, and other little decorative things as needed. And now that I have a baby, burpcloths and blankets.
Laziest Daisy, and a Question
While I was taking pictures of the puppers, I went into the guest room and found my laziest daisy, Violet Paulson, lying on a pillowcase-covered bread board I had brought upstairs last week — a makeshift ironing board I was using to iron in bed while watching TV. (Okay, maybe I am the laziest....
I love the flexibility of digital scrapbooking, especially with typography. But I hate not being able to put it all together with my own hands. When my newspaper when almost entirely digital by scanning in our ads, I really missed the paste-up process. That's why I'm totally digging hybrid scrapping.

edited to add: CONGRATULATIONS to Christine Plaxco who said... Having fun with digi scrappping. It takes me really long to do a page. Enjoy every minute of it. Christine, please email your contact information to us at writeclickscrapbook at gmail dot com. If you didn't win, do not dismay....
Another A-Muse-a-Palooza for me! I'm smack dab between The Paper Tree and Ink About It.

Really loving the texture on the second layout.
round three!
Here we are. Another day into our week-long QuicKutz + Hero Arts extravagaaaaaanza! I think we need to see some more examples! Here we have the lovely Jen Gallacher sharing this adorable page on her little boy! Isn’t he the cutest? There's something a bit mischievous with that smile, I think. ;)...
I totally fell in love with the vintage look of the Ducks in a Row wild cards. I collect vintage postcards, but don't have the heart to cut them up or use them in my crafts. These are a great substitute!
Wild Cards!
Design team member Stacey Kingman loves to make cards. There's a wide range of creative opportunity involved in cardmaking. Sometimes she'll spend two hours on a card, sometimes five minutes. For her, it depends on her mood and the situation. Often, she'll make a card just because she wants to ...
So glad you're able to spend more time with John and Lynn, especially since it sounds like you'll have a great time. My family lives out of state and I love having them come visit so that I can show them all the places that make this place home to me.
Aussie Houseguests (& a Giveaway!)
Photo taken in Hawaii - 3 weeks ago Hi All! Just thought I'd tell you about something we're looking forward to today! When we went on our second Europe trip a couple of years ago, we met this really great couple named John & Lynn from Australia, who were on the same bus tour as us. When yo...

I think it was tiny cupcake, but I became addicted so quickly that I can hardly remember.
