Here I go again! Feels like it has been forever since I have written a blog post. I just can’t seem to get a handle on this thing called life! I need to get under control! If it’s not the family pet, the hubby has an issue, the grandkids need something, or it’s a home project…So many things just keep me from doing what I love to do, but that is going to stop!!! So here is what is goingRead More→
Where have you been? Around…I promise to get more consistent with posting here. I am a retired person and shouldn’t be as busy I am. Not sure where all my time goes, but it does. Have you been losing time? I do all the time! Where have you been? I have been living life. There is grocery shopping, doctor appointments, house cleaning, repairs & maintenance things to do, TV shows to catch up on, some part-time catering to do, and aRead More→

The Stampin’ Blends were made available on November 1st. You gotta get some of these…they are fabulous! I purchased the original Blendabilities a few years ago and I love them then. I was so excited to see that Stampin’ Up! was bringing that back into our product line. These alcohol blending pens have been years in the making…lots of testing to make sure there were no issues with the end product. Stampin’ Up! prides itself on a quality product. IfRead More→
We are coming into the Thankful or Give Thanks season. Why we don’t exemplify this thought throughout the year has puzzled me. Personally, I am thankful all year that I live & breathe and have my family & friends with me. I try to reflect that as I go throughout the year by telling my family & friends how much I appreciate them with my words and my actions. I try to send out cards, although not always on time!

Season to Sparkle This card is a mix of two sets and a beautiful Designer Series paper (DSP). Even though it looks complicated, this is a simple card to make. BEWARE – your arm will get a work out from cranking the Big Shot to get the tree branches cut! I was inspired by Sandi MacIver’s tutorial on how to do a bridge card. Our Chandelier & Christmas Staircase I was inspired by Sandi MacIver’s tutorial on how to do aRead More→

My first thought on this Pick a Pumpkin bundle was “not for me…too seasonally proprietary, doesn’t look real”. However, I am slowly coming around to see that this set can be versatile. I couldn’t get over how real the pumpkins look when stamped on our glossy white paper. For my card, I used the little branch to stamp a background on Thick Whisper White card stock to create my own DSP. To make the pumpkins more realistic, I used PeakabooRead More→
