This is an update for all the questions that I have gotten! You can see in the photo the regular medium Vanilla envelope was sealed and (holding it portrait) using the tag punch, punch out each side, leaving the flap in the middle as a handle. I actually can get down one and a half punches to make the handle longer. Trim the outer 45 degree angle left from the tag punch off to square off the ... View Post

Gift Bag from an Envelope
This cute little bag was made from a regular sized vanilla envelope... sealed and then the "tag punch" was used to punch the sides and what's left in the middle forms the handle and you can slip something small in it. I got this adorable idea from my downline Jackie Schultz who borrowed my Doodle This set and when she returned it, included a sample of the one she made with it! Thank you ... View Post
The lure of sponge daubers…
I am preparing for my class tonight and my cat Bonnie has discovered that I have left the sponge daubers unguarded! They are her weakness...showing once more how versatile this wonderful accessory is! Bonnie is one of three kitties that I have adopted from the Dumpster Cat Rescue League (located in DE). They are a wonderful organization of ladies who network to rescue, spay and find homes for ... View Post

This album is exactly half of a Scrappin' Memories(tm) kit and I will be uploading the photos of all the different books that I have made with the different kits. Until then, you can view the ones on my Project Gallery which include ... View Post

They LINE UP for her classes--she has to beat them away! She had this idea to make an accordion book with the ... View Post
Birthday Invitation
It is very hard to believe that my "baby" has turned 9! How can it be as I never get any older? I purchased this set "Eat Cake" last year when it came out, but this is the first time that I am using it. The style was cut like a file folder and the Designer Series paper "Petals & Paisley" came to my rescue as the inspiration for the color palette as well as it is the accent stripe down the ...

Simply Spring card & holder
This adorable card is actually an "oldie" made with the Simply Spring set... I've been too busy to play with my new stuff (as well as I have loaned so many of my stamps out, I can't play :-( I love the combination of yellow & black... and who doesn't love bees (okay, people who are allergic to their bites?!). The card is actually a standard size but instead of folding over, it folds in from ... View Post
