Winter is Coming
I hope you don't mind the Game of Thrones reference - here in Vermont it really does seem appropriate every year. The outdoor thermometer has definitely been down the last few days at our house. I hope that we get at least one more round of balmy days before we're...
Feelin’ Like Fall
It is definitely starting to feel like Fall here in VT, even if the calendar shows that it's still summer for a few more days. During a meeting last week a co-worker who lives in Wisconsin now, but used to live in Middlebury asked if it was Fall-like here yet. At that...
Cool Blue Thank You
I needed a batch of thank you cards to send to people that recently placed orders with me, so I've created a few of this pretty card. I'm still very much in love with the Boho Indigo Medley, and I took this opportunity to break it out again. The patterned papers in...
Crabapple Visions
Here is another installment in my cards featuring the Life is Beautiful set. My original plan was to also show off the Plaid Tidings with each card, but you know that old chestnut about plans. This card actually came together quite quickly because the stamping is the...
Layered Peace

Dream Big
I'm thinking of all of the students heading back to school right now, whether they are the littles, Grad Students, or anyone at stages in between. It is a very weird time for everything, but school is especially challenging. No matter how hard everyone tries, online...
Falling for Plaid
The Life Is Beautiful stamp set is fantastic for creating images for any season. In fact, I purchased it planning on offering a class for cards for each season. I think what I'm going to do instead is show it off here on my blog in regular installments so you all can...
Getting Ready for Christmas!
This was the second card that I created for the Essex stamp club "meeting". I knew that I wanted to include a Christmas card in what we created, and I drew on several products from the August - December Mini Catalog. I drew some inspiration for the stamped leaves and...
Country Home Sampler Class
I've just distributed the Boho Indigo class kits, and I hope that the class members are enjoying the gorgeous papers and accessories. I've received some good feedback from people that have purchased my Class-to-Go offerings, so I thought I would try it again with a...
