So Many Blessings
I know (and very much appreciate) that I have many blessings in my life; a loving family, an amazing church home, a safe place to lie my head at night, plenty of food, and an interesting work life. But a special blessing that I have found is the friends that I have...
Christmas Preparation
I'm so happy to announce that I'm offering a class in August so that you can make these 4 cards. I absolutely LOVE the gingham pattern that is in the color family DSP stacks, and I'm happy to offer a class that features that paper for some Christmas cards. Plus, the...
Tour de France Thoughts
I've been hearing some news updates regarding the second heat wave of the summer that is hitting Europe right now. I believe that their first one was while I traveled to Hungary for a week in late June for work, and if that's true then I can attest that it is...
Emmy Nominee Wishes
The South Burlington stamp club met this evening, and as I was driving home I was listening to the show "q" from the CBC on Vermont Public Radio. One of the segments was about some of the Emmy nominees, in particular the host (Tom Power) talked with Eugene Levy who...
Monet Inspiration
When I saw these absolutely gorgeous papers at OnStage in Charlotte, I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. Every time that I've had a conversation about these papers, people have commented that they are reminded of Monet's art with these pretty sheets. It turns out...
So Much Cake!
I pulled out some retired products to create a whole bunch of these cards for the birthday card ministry at our church. Typically I use current stamps (at least), but I had a vision in my head, and these retired stamps were just the ticket for what I needed. I created...
Bonus Days Are Here!
I think this is the 3rd (or perhaps it's the 4th?) year that Stampin' Up! has held the Bonus Days event for the month of July. The principal is very simple. For every $50 of merchandise (before tax and shipping) that you purchase in July, you will earn a $5 coupon...
Sailing CASE
This is the second card that I designed for the Essex stamping group. As I mentioned the other day, I wanted to use the same stamp sets that I used for the South Burlington gathering. Like that meeting, the card featuring the Sailing Home stamps was the less involved...
Black-eyed Susan
When I was designing cards for the Essex stamping group, I decided that I would use the same stamp sets that I used with the South Burlington group. Both sets feel perfect for early-Summer stamping, and it made my life easy in terms of figuring out what to do. For...
Anchors Aweigh!
This is the simpler creation that I designed for the South Burlington stamp club group. After toiling so hard on those pretty flowers, this card came together lickety-split. I was inspired in this design by a Stampin' Up! friend to the north. Her name is Jackie, and...
