Making cards is a really fun thing to do, sometimes nice to take a break from playing with fabric, and play with paper instead. I have some Craftsy videos on stamping, and in December I watched a bunch of youtube videos on stamping and playing with different techniques. One of them was on using a …
I still have a huge stash of stamping supplies, and was looking for another way to use some of it. When I received the gift of two boxes of papers, I found a number of dog and cat related papers, plus little chipboard and cardboard cutouts, and some other charms and such with animal themes. …

Bunnies and spring colors were the theme of my Easter cards this year. I found these adorable fuzzy bunny cut-outs on 90% off clearance at the discount store last year, so of course I had to snap them up. Don't they have adorable cotton tails! I wasn't sure what I would do with them, until …

After having two in physical therapy rehab early in the month, I found out recently that my Stampin Up demonstrator, Gail, had shoulder surgery.
