We woke up to maybe 10 inches of snow and it was beautiful. Here's the bird feeder that is right outside of my craft room window. I was happy to stay inside and watch the birds at the feeder and stamp. Do you recognize the flower? It is the Succulents Framelits dies cut out using…
It snowed all day. Where I live this is pretty unusual and stranger yet it is sticking! There's maybe 3" on the ground. In other words it was a perfect day to stay in and play in my craft room. I decided I needed to pull out a stamp set that I have not played with…
This morning I was editing and watermarking my cards for future blog posts and realized that the vast majority of the cards used the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle (Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits).

One of the Sale-A-Bration choices that I have really enjoyed playing with is the Inside the Lines DSP. It is the perfect paper to sit down with and do a little coloring. I used an Aqua Painter and some ink pads to color in the flowers. Nothing fancy but I think it would be…
Have I told you that I am a slow stamper? Yes, it is true. It seems to take me so long to come up with a card. I fiddle and try this and that and before you know it a lot of time has gone by. I do love that I can get lost in the process…
It is Thursday and it's time for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge! This week it is a sketch challenge. Nice sketch right? It just so happens that this sketch is also a great way to announce that the Stitched Shapes framelits are back and available to order. You can read more about…
Are you ready for a sweet treat? I am still having fun making ice cream treats, at least the paper kind, with the Cool Treats Bundle. This sweet dessert was scooped up for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge #305. Product List Cool Treats Photopolymer Bundle [145181] $48.50 Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' Pad…
