Wow – I cannot believe 3 weeks have passed since Lyla was born. It’s been about 5 weeks since I last posted – sorry for that. I find it much harder to craft than I had expected with this time off. This recovery has been much more difficult than with my previous children. Lyla arrived … More Update and Garden in Bloom Card
Hi, Everyone! I’ve been on a Lawn Fawn kick lately – especially with my Splicoaststamper designs. I think this is the last one for now – until the next release because I’m a total sucker for these stamp sets. The Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker hype has died down a lot, hasn’t it!? I … More Fairy Friends Using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers
Hi, Everyone! So sorry it’s been a while since I last posted here! I’ve been working overtime and trying to fulfill my commitment with Splitcoaststampers to design cards for the next 5 months. I’m just about done for this month so I thought I’d squeeze this card in for my personal blog. If you want … More Spring Flowers on Vellum
Hey, Everyone! I’ve been producing a lot of mass projects lately with the holidays and I had to do it again this morning for “Thank You” tags that I wanted to make for my neighbors who incorporated a shower into our monthly ladies’ night. I wanted to make these tags coordinate with my nursery theme, … More Baby Shower Thank You Tags
Hi, Everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted so I wanted to update you all. Last week was INSANE! The Lunar New Year fell on the same week as many school activities (Career Day and Spring pictures) and Valentine’s Day. Between that and taking care of sick kids, I’ve been exhausted! I’ve got tons … More Exciting News!
So did you think the New Year has already begun? Not for those who follow the Lunar Calendar! The Lunar New Year (Chinese/Vietnamese New Year) is next week. It’s a 3 day celebration with lots of festivities – one of which includes these lucky red envelopes. We put money in them and pass them out … More 2016 Year of the Monkey Lucky Red Envelopes
Hello again! I thought I would make a quick card to stay up to date with LiveLoveCards‘s monthly challenges. I do one every month but am way behind this month. I think I had a hard time deciding what to do because there were so many options this month. I chose this one because I’ve … More Doodle Buds
Happy Birthday to my youngest, Liam! He’s 3 today! He wont be the youngest for much longer! Here’s a picture I posted on Instagram and Facebook this morning: Instead of making him a card he won’t enjoy or remember, I’ve spent the couple of nights working on Valentine’s Day cards for my older boys to … More 2016 Classroom Valentine’s Day Cards
Hi there, Everyone! I don’t know where the time is going these days – with my husband working nights, I’m confused about whether I’m busier with the kids or if I have more time because my husband isn’t home (when he is, we’re just always together doing stuff regardless of whatever it is). I feel … More November 2015 Monthly Hero
Hello there! I got a few new Stampin’ Up! products from the Occasion’s catalog (Stampin’ Up!’s spring catalog) and wanted to use this new set called Number of Years to make a birthday card for my sister-in-law. I love the stamps that come with this set – but the numbers are awesome. I just saw … More Number of Years
Hi, Everyone! I finally made a card. I’ve been making tons of excuses lately but mostly, it’s because I don’t want to make the time and because I feel discouraged and am selling myself short. People can be really mean on YouTube (and everywhere else). I’ve been buying a lot of cute stuff and I … More Adorable Elephant Shaker Card
I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t been too impressed with the Paper Pumpkin Kits lately. In fact, this is the first one I haven’t sold in months – and I’ve also decided it’s my last. I’ve had lots of shipping issues with just the Paper Pumpkin Kit and have been turning around … More Stampin’ Up!’s December 2015 Paper Pumpkin Kit
Hi Everyone! I’ve been slacking on crafting lately. I took a few days off work to get some appointments taken care of and to get our cars registered and I feel like I’m more busy as a “stay at home mom”than as a full time worker! Sheesh! I did cram a lot into 3 days … More Mondo Magnolia Thanks
I have coworker named Winny who loves bunnies. I’m only guessing her obsession with them since I’m only told this – I work from home so it’s difficult to know what some people in the office are really like, especially when they live on the West Coast and I’m in the Midwest. Some relationships are … More Somebunny
Hi all! Finally – a NEW card! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had that week off work and it seemed to fly by with all the preparations for the holiday! I was hoping to get some crafting done and I really didn’t do everything I wanted to do. I spent one day … More Ready, Set, Snow
