I’m getting ready for the trick or treaters that we will have here at the park during our 2 Halloween weekends. I wanted to make them look special, but I didn’t want to spend a lot of time or money so, I am making these sour cream style packets to put the candy. I am using retired paper in Halloween colors and I decorated them with a quick tag. Here… Read More »

The new Holiday Catalog from Stampin’ Up! has some wonderful kits and I couldn’t resist getting a couple of them. I guess the question that remains is “will I get the rest of them?” Maybe so, if they are as fun as the Witching Decor hat! This kit sells for just $22 and includes most of the supplies needed. I also ordered the coordinating stamp set, and I already had… Read More »
I have been SO bad about posting – I am SO sorry! I get busy and then, poof! too much time has passed! I have been quite busy at work, but I have found time to do some stamping, cooking, and even sewing and it is about time that I shared! Last year, at Alamo Craft Company in San Antonio, I learned how to do English Paper Piecing and I… Read More »

The final installment on the trip of a lifetime. To recap, 20 years ago, my sister, Mary, introduced me to Stampin’ Up! and I have earned the incentive trip almost every year. On this, my 20th anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I invited Mary as my guest to a wonderful week on Oahu. When her kids asked her what she wanted for her birthday this year, Mary said that… Read More »

But with a brand new catalog and lots of fun new stamps to play with, I’ll get caught up really fast! These cards use the new Friendly Wishes stamp set with wonderful sentiments when you want to reach out. They also use my… Read More »
I like to add tabs to my catalog so that I can find what I am looking for quickly. So many of my friends like them that I decided to make a video that shows just how I do it. You can make your own tabs, or, if you would rather, you can get a pdf file ready for printing on a full-size label sheet. You could even print them… Read More »
A few days ago, I shared the first 2 days of my amazing Hawaiian vacation, thanks to Stampin’ Up! Today, lets climb Diamond Head! Diamond Head is an extinct volcano and climbing it is not an easy 3/4 mile hike. We went up unpaved, rough paths, 74 steps, then a tunnel, 99 more steps, and more steps at the top. The view was worth every step! Hanging with some of… Read More »
As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I have been blessed to earn a free trip almost every year and this month, I was able to take my sister on a 5 day trip to Oahu, Hawaii! Since Mary introduced me to Stampin’ Up! 20 years ago, I thought it fitting to invite her to join me. This was one of those vacations that you need a week of rest to recuperate… Read More »
The Retiring List has been released and it is a really big list! One of my customers has ordered the Corner Garden stamp and I decided to use mine to make her a thank you card. It uses the Corner Garden stamp, Yippee – Skippee stamp set, and Coastal Cabana ink and paper. It is a simple yet effective technique: emboss the image with VersaMark ink and clear embossing powder,… Read More »
As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I acquire a lot of hand-stamped cards, from card swaps or when I am planning a project or just when I want to “play”. When I lived in San Antonio, I had a booth at the Alamo Craft Company where I could sell them, but I haven’t found a craft mall here in Virginia, so I am going to give them away! During the month… Read More »

I LOVE this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit because it combines sewing and paper crafting! I made these 9 cards and still have a 12-piece stamp set and mini-ink pad to use on other projects. The only things I needed that weren’t included in the kit were a pair of scissors and a flosser (to thread the needle!) If you want a new project box in your mailbox every month, check… Read More »
