When you're a stamper there's always that bit of (self-imposed) pressure to produce hand made birthday cards. I always have good intentions to build up a stash, but last week when I needed one, there was none to be found. "Everyday Button Bits" to the rescue! This set makes it so simple to create quick [...]

Back in February 2009 I made this butterfly collage inspired by Ali Edwards to grace my wall. I had so much fun making it that I wanted to make another one using different paper punches. I picked up two Hydrangea Martha Stewart punches at Michaels along with a piece of patterned paper. In order to [...]
Back once again

Happy New Year! Been a while since I posted anything on my little blog. Here's one of the reasons I've been gone… And here's the other reason why I've been a bit busy… Sweet little reasons. =) They have kept me pretty busy and I must confess that some days are rather tough. Getting used [...]
Inspired to Stamp
Posted in Cards, PTI, Simple Goodness, Stampin Up on October 16, 2009 | 5 Comments »
About a week ago I read this post over on Becky Oehlers blog. Very refreshing to remember that you don't always have to come up with something totally original when you stamp. It's OK to be inspired by others and make something similar or, even CASE it. In fact, I know a lot of us [...]
My Own Card Sketchbook

I know I can always trust one of my favorite bloggers, Kristina Werner, to inspire me to create something new. Last weeks MACM was no different. The project for this video was a little card sketch book – what a great idea. Since I became a blogger myself, and an avid blurfer ("blog surfer") I [...]
I never know for sure what I’ll end up with

Perhaps you're the same way. You start out with an idea of how your card is going to look. You pick your colors, inks and your stamp sets and you cut your paper and get to work. That's what I did last night. But this card look nothing like I originally planned it! It doesn't [...]
{Friend to Friend} Mini Card
Posted in Cards, Simple Goodness, Stampin Up on July 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
We have stifling hot weather (99F-102F) here in Portland, OR this week. Not something this pregnant lady enjoys very much! That means seeking out air conditioned places to hang out all day with my little toddler. So, the cards you've been seeing lately were made last week as it is difficult to get anything done [...]
Clean and Simple Thanks

Seems like one can never have too many thank you cards on hand. However, even when I do have them, I forget to send them!! That is of course another issue altogether. I think I'll keep making them with the hope that someday, I will be better at using them too. This card started out [...]

Finally a new post!! Can you believe how long its been? I never meant to let my blog sit idle for months!! But sometimes life throws a surprise at you, such as finding out that you're pregnant again!! Things like that just might slow things down for a bit. Another little boy is more than [...]
Over the Rainbow Challenge

Papertreyink is hosting another fun challenge and a chance to win free products today. I am so excited! =) This one really was a challenge for me because I don't normally use this many colors on one project. I tend to work with only a couple of colors at a time or with shades in [...]
