Christmas Cardinal
I recently shared a batch of cards that I created from an older Paper Pumpkin kit. Those cards were exactly as designed in the kit - super simple and quick with some wow! For this card I used a portion of the November 2019 kit and used it as an element on this card....
2020 Year End Closeout
It is so hard to believe that we're approaching time to say goodbye to the August - December mini catalog. The passing of time has been really hard for me to detect this year since every day feels so much like every other. So it is especially shocking to my system...
Poinsettia Promise
Every time that Stampin' Up! offers a Poinsettia stamp set, I always end up buying it. These are like two-fer stamp sets for me. 1 - I admit it, I'm a flower stamp gal, so poinsettia stamps check that box for me. 2 - they are a Christmas set, my other big love for...
One Less UFO
In the quilting world there is a term for those projects that you've started, but never quite finished; it is called UFO for UnFinished Object. I have a bunch of quilts at various states of completion, but in my stamping life I have a few, too. This Paper Pumpkin kit...
Gleaming Ornaments
I followed an interesting path to creating this card. I started looking through an old PaperCrafts magazine sketch book that I purchased years ago. My initial mission was to find a design for the December batch of birthday cards for our church card ministry. I flagged...

I have to say that Thanksgiving this year is sad for me, as I'm sure it is for so many others. Due to the resurgence of COVID cases, we will be doing a "Zoomsgiving" celebration this year. My husband and I will be having roast chicken at home and connecting via the...

Shaking the Tree
I'm still having a lot of fun creating with the Most Wonderful Time Medley. For some reason last year I had a tough time envisioning ways to use the products, so I'm especially thankful that Stampin' Up! brought it back this year. I think one difference this year is...
Present Tree
So what are you going to do when the Governor has asked us to stay home and avoid contact with people outside of your home? Well, this weekend I got in some extra crafting time. I'm expecting that I'll be sending even more Christmas cards than usual this year, just to...
