Hello! Welcome!  Today I am taking part in the Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop.  Our theme this month is Children & Friendship!  I've been featuring the Brightly Gleaming product suite this week on my blog: I'll be honest, I am 100% in love with this designer series paper!  Today I used a lot of the "B" side of the papers (the non-copper impression side for most of it)--because even they are beautiful.  I thought it would make a great layout about my son once I sort through photos! I thought this little circle tab would be perfect for adding...

Hello! Welcome back!  Today I have another swap card to share with you, this one from my friend, sometimes my mentor, and fellow demonstrator, Christine Alward!  Christine and I were part of swap with other demonstrators, and this was her contribution.  I really wish you could see it in real life--the colours blend together so much nicer, and the copper embossing is so gorgeous. Isn't it gorgeous?  I love that she put so much detail on the inside--something that I tend to forget about! To purchase the supplies to make this card, simply click the product links below or go...

Hello! Welcome back!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  We kept things pretty quiet around here--ran some errands, attempted to clean the house (and had a 4 year old undoing it as I went), and went to swimming lessons.  I did also get a little bit of prep work done for our upcoming weekend retreat though!  I can't wait to be there!  3 days of crafting with friends--what more can a girl ask for??? This week, I decided to showcase the Brightly Gleaming Product Suite.  I can not fully explain how exceptionally beautiful the paper in this suite...

Hello! Today may be Sunday, and chances are I am sitting pool side at swimming lessons while you read this, BUT I have a super cute New Years card to share with you. Now, normally I wouldn't necessarily do a New Year's card, but who can resist that sentiment?  "May your New Year's dream come true" Isn't it sweet?  Even after all these projects, I still love these penguins! To make this card: 1.  Cut a piece of Thick White cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11".  Score and fold at 5 1/2" to create a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"...

Hello! Welcome back!  I know I don't normally post on Saturday's but I had so many projects with the Playful Penguins stampset, I didn't want to not share them! This card is actually a swap card I made for a swap (where crafters trade cards for ideas) I did with friends!  I also got to play with our new puff paint, which is so fun!! Isn't it like the penguin is pointing his beak to Merriest Wishes?  These penguins are so stinking fun! To make this card: 1.  Cut a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock to 5 1/2" x 8...
