…go ahead and CASE. Drawing inspiration from other peoples work or even copying layouts is such a great way to get your creativity flowing. Especially since I think this hobby of mine should be fun! The minute I feel like I have to be unique all the time I remind myself of this. I like [...]

Saying Goodbye
Posted in Cards, PTI on July 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I’m not a big fan of saying goodbye. Not the ones where you know its going to be a while, a great while, before you see each other again. Living in another country, I’ve had to say it so many times over the years to people that really matters. My family. And it’s hard every [...]
So Glad We’re Friends

You know you're the mother of a toddler when walking up the stairs takes 10 minutes because he just has to lay down on his tummy on every single step. Exploration is great fun. It is how we learn to do new things. And speaking of new things, I decided to explore the stamping technique [...]

One might have thought we were celebrating the Return of the King, such was the joy in the Spencer household when Travis returned from his week long trip on Friday evening. =) I had no idea that being alone with two little kidlets (both still in diapers) would end in such a personal trial. I [...]
Card + Origami = A Fun Challenge from PTI
Posted in Cards, PTI on February 12, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Today the challenge over at PTI was to create a project that incorporates origami of some form. A fun way to think outside the box and make something I never would have otherwise. I checked out the links Nichole provided and came across this goldfish. I knew I had to use it in some way. [...]

It's been a week of inspiration and challenges over at Papertrey Ink as they celebrate their third anniversary and its not even over yet. I've been playing around with the Emboss Resist technique quite a bit this week. Through trial and error I discovered which of my stamps yielded the best result. Suffice it to [...]
Emboss Resist with PTI

I made this card tonight to participate in the PTI challenge. I have not used this technique in a very long time so it was fun to re-visit it. I stamped an old text style stamp I had in my stash for the background, using Basic Grey ink. Next I embossed the solid heart [...]
