Hello! Welcome back!  I know I have been missing in action this week.  I do apologize, life's just a bit on the busy side at the moment.  It will settle down though and I will get back to blogging!!   Today though I am back for the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop!  Each month we have a different theme, and this month we are doing birthday celebrations!  I am always in need of birthday cards, so this is right up my ally!   The new Stampin' Up! catalog rolled out this week, and we have some amazing new stamps to play with. ...

Hello! Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!  We had a great day Saturday at the Crop--we raised just under $150 for relay for life!  Thank you so much to everyone that joined us! Today I have a pocket page Amanda made for the crop.  In our grab bags this month (for National Scrapbook day), we had the Vibrant Vases stampset and the Country Floral Embossing Folder.  These two pair perfectly together! Didn't Amanda do a great job?  Perfect for any springy photos! Enjoy!   tams# 33667 Product List Crumb Cake 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [120953] $11.50...

Hello! Welcome back!  Today I have another card using the Everything is Rosy bundle to share.  I absolutely adored the bright colours of this bundle!   I also loved the sentiment I used on this card - "May your birthday be filled with pretty things" is super sweet! And those die cuts made it all come together super quick!  I also used a sketch from PageMaps on this one to help speed up the design process.  Enjoy! tams# 33469 Product List Everything Is Rosy Product Medley [150059] $109.00 Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [100730] $13.25 Melon Mambo 8-1/2" X...

Hello Everyone! Welcome back!  Today I have a quick share for you!  This is a project one of my downline created for a swap at OnStage.  I love how sweet it is--and I am not going to lie, I love that she added gummy fish to the inside (I have a very sweet tooth!!  And candy that matches a theme is just awesome!) Cute right?  To get the circle cut from our pizza boxes, you could use a circle punch (which would be a bit cumbersome because of the flaps), or you could use a circle die.  Once it's cut...

Hello Everyone! Welcome back!  I hope you had a fantastic weekend!  Saturday, Bentley wanted to stay home and play with his toys, so after several weeks of back to back events, including the Girls Night Out event on Friday night at St. Lawrence College, I was more than willing to stay home!  Sunday we did swimming lessons and groceries, and then spent the rest of the day home as well. This week I will be featuring the Best Catch bundle.  Masculine projects can be so difficult, but great stampsets like this one can definitely be a great starting point, and...
