Hearts Abound

Hearts Abound

This post features the last two sections in my sampler project. This image is the one and only piece that clearly makes it a Valentine's Day creation. Of course, the colors I used and the plethora of hearts and messages of love makes it pretty obvious it is a...

Laser Focused Class

I'm super excited to announce that I'm offering a class featuring products from the Delightfully Detailed suite from the annual catalog. I purchased these materials shortly after the annual catalog came out (oh so many months ago), and I just got around to playing...

So Much Love

I hope that these posts are piquing your interest in creating your own sampler. This project was my first attempt, and I had so much fun! The "Live Laugh Love" section was the last piece that I created for my sampler. I wanted this piece to be a bit more involved but...

A Hug and a Kiss

A Hug and a Kiss

I was feeling a little out of sorts in the post-Christmas blues, and my crafting mojo had left me. I wanted to work on a class for Valentine's Day, but I just wasn't feeling it. I was messaging with a demonstrator friend who was in a similar mind-set and she suggested...

So Many Dies!

So Many Dies!

I was inspired to play last evening so I could participate in two challenges this week; more on those challenges in a bit. For this card I decided to focus (mostly) on items from the Annual catalog. When a new seasonal catalog has come out, it is so easy to overlook...

Cake is Great!

Cake is Great!

At the Essex stamp club gathering last week I devised two projects that made use of the Stamparatus (aka the Stampasaurus 😉 ). This was the second, simpler project that we made. There wasn't any fancy tricks with the tool for this card, but I did have the stamps all...

I wanted to show off this gorgeous stamp set to the South Burlington stamp club, and they really enjoyed making this card last evening. The group was really impressed with how beautifully these stamps create the images. The shadows, highlights and faint lines all show...
