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

Posted in Project, Simple Goodness, Stampin Up on September 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »

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 [...]

A Gift For a Great Friend

Posted in Cards, PTI, Stampin Up on September 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I recently had a good friend over for a visit. She is one of those people that are easy to talk to and just so encouraging and generous in everything she says and does. She simply cannot be outdone. And sure enough, when she arrived she came with her hands full of gifts from her [...]

Closing Shop Beacause of New Stampin’ Up! IDA

Posted in Personal, Stampin Up on September 5, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I recently became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, so I find it a bit disappointing that the new Independent Demonstrator Agreement (IDA) will adversely affect the plans I had for my new business. I've enjoyed using SU! products for many years, but never thought to become a demonstrator until recently. I learned that Stampin Up! would [...]

Fun Birthday Card for little Boys

Posted in Cards, Stampin Up on August 14, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Finding the time to blog more frequently is turning out to be a challenge at times. I mean, where are the little house elves that do the dishes, vacuum, do laundry and pick up all the endless clutter around the house?? If they just did their part, I could do crafts all evening long…but as [...]

Coloring with Prisma Pencils – Fun!

Posted in Cards, Stampin Up on August 11, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I finally found the time to try out the prisma color pencils and Odoless Mineral Spirits technique (also referred to as "Gamsol Magic"). So much fun! I have always enjoyed coloring, though I am still quite the novice at it. Thankfully there is a lot of inspiration to be found on the subject. Personally, my [...]

A Half Hour Card

Today I was able to squeeze in a bit of stamping time during my sons nap and because I already had an idea in my head I was able to finish it in half an hour!! And, this time, the card really looks like I envisioned it. I made no changes whatsoever! Impressive huh!   [...]

I never know for sure what I’ll end up with

Posted in Cards, Simple Goodness, Stampin Up on August 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

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 [...]

Field of Daisies

Phew, the heat is finally subsiding here in Pdx. What a week its been! Last Monday I got an entire box full of new Stampin' Up! goodies, but had absolutely zero energy due to the heat to play with any of it. Torture, I tell you! At least I got my stamps mounted. So easy [...]

{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 [...]
