I have been having a lot of fun being on the Try Stampin' on Tuesday design team. Every other week I look forward to the sketch challenge given to us to work on and the optional theme. Sketch#261 Optional theme is Nothing Floral. I will admit to you that I felt a momentary…
Just dropping by for a quick share and check in. For the past two weeks we have been having work done on our house. It has been very noisy and with the shades over the windows down it was like living in a dark, noisy cave. The work is now finished! Hooray! This…
Yes, it is true I really adore the new Sale-A-Bration choices! We used all the new items when we went clubbin' on Sunday. Don't know what I am talking about? Check it out here. This is slightly different than what we made on Sunday. I added the flag on the back, changed the twine…
Are you expecting to hear about my wild and crazy night life? No, I am not talking about that kind of clubbin'. I am talking about stamp clubbin! Today I am meeting up with my Sunday Stampers hostess club. We usually meet earlier in the month but due to Valentine's Day and other obligations…
This seems to be my week to play in challenges. I saw that the What Will You Stamp challenge #52 was to use the Botanical Blooms stamp set. You know how I feel about that set and framelits, so I went to work. I wanted to do something totally different from what I had done before so…

What a strange blog post title. I realize now that is sounds like I am having a challenge with the Balloon Celebration stamp set. What I really mean is that I used the Balloon Celebration for a challenge. I wrote about my obsession with the Balloon Celebration stamp set in this post. This set was perfect…
Lately I have been using these 3 sets a lot: Bear Hugs, Birthday Blooms and Balloon Celebration. Honestly, I did not think that Balloon Celebration would every be among my favorites since I bought it for a specific reason (I will share the reason soon) and not because I was in love with the set. Just goes…
I hate to keep repeating myself but I love the Botanical Gardens suite in the Occasions catalog. Hawaii is where I grew up and one of the places I call home, so all the images just speak to me. Yes, stamps, papers and dies talk to me, mostly they say things like "buy me" or "we…
