This terrific "photo folio" idea was shared at Leadership this year. I did cheap out and cut my own (not purchase the pre-made kit). The sets used were Delight in Life (SAB) and "Be Happy". This is another teaser for my Stamp Festival this Saturday. Here's a peek on the construction: As you can figure out this is cut from a 12 x 12 sheet, 4 1/2 inches wide and scored to fit our Mini ...

Like Hot Chocolate a Latte!
I got inspiration from two samples on this... a card designed by Barbara Miriello (see her new blog) and the other a hot chocolate "cover" idea from Amanda Coughlin (one of our "fearsome foursome" at Leadership this year!) The "cover" is pretty much scored and folded around the hot chocolate packet and the set used "Like it a Latte" is from the Winter Mini Catalog which expires the end of ... View Post
Valentine Survival Kit
This is more like a "girlfriends" survival kit for Valentines Day, but I have included the PDF so you can make it yourself. I make these up every third year... that way most of my customers think it's new! I have a list that had the meaning of survival kit contents (ex. rubber band "to remind you to stay flexible", Sweet Tarts "for the good and the bad ... View Post
Valentine Idea

I stamped the gumball machine two times (once on red and once on white) and then cut out the white for the globe and the money knob. I don't know if you can tell that I ... View Post
Very Punny & Envelope Trick
As I get ready to leave for Leadership tomorrow morning early, I am uploading my last entry until I come back on Sunday. I hope that Houston weather holds out and we get warm & sun (I dislike cold weather!) This is what I lovingly refer to as a "cheap envelope trick" done with the SAB set "Very Punny". The inside of this half sheet (cut 11 x 4 1/4 scored and folded) is two ... View Post
Delight In Life
I really love this set and I must admit that I got the inspiration from Splitcoast. The flowers were stamped in black and the colors are Bashful Blue, Mellow Moss & Pretty in Pink and So Saffron. You can't tell, but it is stamped on glossy white and my "faux paper tolling" was done with Dimensionals. I used black as an accent color as it really makes the color pop. The colors don't really ...
