I designed this card a month or so back for a demonstrator meeting, and I've had it ready to blog about it for awhile, but I thought it was the perfect card for today....for sending Love and Sympathy for the city and people of Boston, and all those affected by the bombing at the marathon yesterday. I've lived all my ...

Rainy Day Smiles
I love these little stamps from the Spring Sampler stamp set - aren't these little boots cute? They make me smile. The paper is from the Sunshine & Sprinkles dsp, and it has some great bright patterns. Both can be found in the Spring Catalog. This is a card that we made at our monthly club/class last night. If ...

Plays well with others!
When Stampin' Up! introduced the new in-colors for 2013-2014, I loved all of them except Summer Starfruit. I just didn't get this color. In the yellow family I prefer Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, I even miss Barely Bannana. But now that I look back at the cards and projects that I've make since Summer Starfruit ...
Tool box Re-do / New Catalog / New Promo
A couple of years ago, I was privileged to by part of a shoebox swap at my up-line, Tami White's, home where we made this really cute toolbox designed by Lynn Wilcox. I've seen it pop up a lot lately on Pinterest. I've had it in my craft room since. One of my Coffee & Crafts ladies, ...
Happy New Year!!
Happy 2013!! I have an old window that was turned in to a mirror over my kitchen table. I planned to decorate it every month with a different theme when I purchased it 8 or 9 years ago. I only ended up having a few months worth of decorations, and some of the months (October) end up staying displayed for several ...
Heart of Christmas….
I love this stamp!! Shelli Gardner, CEO and co-founder of Stampin' Up! posted a gorgous tag on her blog a few weeks ago using the Heart of Christmas stamp set, and I fell in love!! I re-created it here for my Coffee and Craft girls as a card. The Heart of Christmas is stamped over stamps from the Affection ...

Can you find the one difference from the catalog?........(I forgot to order the ribbon slides, oops) I think it looks great without it. This was ...

Mine changes, but right now it's the Ornament Keepsake stamp set and matching framlits. Stampin' Up! is now offering Bundles, you can purchase the stampset and the coordinating framelits at a ...
Where does the time go??
Do you ever have those times in your life that you keep thinking, "Once I get "x" done, I'll have some free time OR I'll get back to my normal day to day?" only to have something else come up, followed by something else. That is what my entire spring and summer has been like, and unfortunately my poor blog has be ...
Wonderful Wisteria Mother’s Day
Mother's day is just around the corner.....(hint, reminder, wink wink). Here's great card that any Mom would love to receive. I stamped & embossed the large rose from the now retiring Fifth Avenue Flower 3x on card stock vellum. Before I cut the the flowers out, I used my brayer and added Wisteria Wonder ink on ...
Banner Gift Bags
Aren't these cute!!! Almost as cute as the recipients!! My cousin's twins turned 2 a couple of weeks ago, and these were their gift bags. The price of gift bags at paper stores is so expensive, then add the card, matching tissue paper, you can pay as much for packaging as you do for the gift. I now prefer to ...
Woven Hearts
We held our demo meeting last night and this was one of the cards I came designed for the ladies. The heart is cut out of the Basic Gray paper with the Framelit Hearts. We then used 1/2 inch strips of Twitterpated DSP to create a woven pattern that was attached to the inside of the card. I added a ...

Easy and bold, CASEing Pinterest!
Here's a really quick and fun card that I CASE'd from Pinterest. I just used some scraps of Real Red, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo and used Natural White as a base. After I glued the strips of colored card-stock to the base, I ran it though the big shot with the Flower ...
Flowers, Flowers everywhere!
I'm thinking SPRING!!! We haven't had very much winter here in New England, so I'm ready to move on to spring. I want warmer weather, green grass, and flowers. Today's card is a really simple "springy" card. I used the great lined images from the Fabulous Florets stamp set. Just randomly ...
Happy Birthday……..a little bit late!
