Hiya friends! Slowly but surely getting back into the groove but working diligently behind the scenes to make samples of all my new dies for CHA. That's keeping me hopping for the moment but I'm here :-) Please do check here to see if you've won a card from me ---> Giveaway Page Even if…
Good morning blog friends! Welcome back to Day 3 of the Waltzingmouse Stamps December Release. As you can tell, I'm on a vintage kick and so I found a way to weave one of the swoonworthy little post cards into my card today. You'll be able to see the full sets tomorrow! I recently found a…
Hello there my crafty friends. I'm busy behind the scenes with CHA samples and some catalog samples so although I've been creative, I haven't had anything to show for it. That's okay though, because I made something from the left overs :-) Seriously, I started my last creative session by…
Hi there friends, I'm back for Day 5 of the JustRite Papercraft February releases and today my project centers around a very, very serious subject. As a matter of fact when I sat down to write this post I wasn't quite sure how to approach it. I mean, when you see the card doesn't one word sum it…
Hiya there sweet friends - three cards to share today. Yep, count 'em. Yeah, two of them you would never know I made, but I sure had fun doing it :-) So today is Day Three of the Waltzingmouse Stamps August Releases. There were so many sets with this release that you should definitely hop…
Hi there friends, I hope you're not tired of my experimentation yet. So many times when I sit down there's pressure to get it done or I'm trying to use a certain die. Well, sometimes that just doesn't work and you have to go where your heart leads - do yourself a favor and resist boxing…
Happy Easter, sweet blog friends. I hope today finds you blessed in the company of family, friends and faithful, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. I promised myself that I would have a card to celebrate the occasion :-) No instructions on this one, I just wanted you all to know that I'm…
Hi there sweet blog friends!! Thanks for all the kind comments on the stroll back through some favorites. I've hopped around quite a bit and looked at quite a few similar posts in blogland; I find them inspiring too!! Well, its a glorious start to a new week and I have something new to share -…
Good morning sweet friends! It's truly a lovely day where I am and I hope yours is too. I have a card to share today that is oh so, feminine and the sentiment hits the nail on the head. Me and my temporarily one legged self is feeling so imperfect, but to sit down and make a card made me feel…
I'll be straight with you, I'm going through a little episode of Crafters A.D.D. - my daughter who was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, wholeheartedly agrees with me. I have several projects started but haven't brought any of them to a close - I keep jumping from one to another - sorry. Just a…
I'm tickled to seque into the first Day of Giving Friday with another card. You all definitely inspired me to keep this going on a weekly basis and resource-wise, it's very manageable for me. I have lots of cards to giveaway and think it's befitting for the folks who peek in quite often to have…
Good morning sweet friends, popping in to share a card I made at the beginning of the month, it was simply waiting for a bow. Even though it got all bowed up, it's a masculine card that's going off to my sweet son who just moved into a new abode. I had new stamps and new dies on hand so this…
How can it possibly be the beginning of April?!? Well it is!! I'm giddy about the feelings of spring, they are a blessing, a breeze of hope and a healer to my soul. I'm tickled to jump in on a beautiful morning to share my new Die of the Month - it's called Elegant Swivel and Sashay Die Set. …
Sweet blog friends, what a wonderful conversation we had about lighting. More people use a light tent than I thought, but many of you are veterans of natural lighting. I think it doesn't matter as long as you get the good picture :-) At home my light tent is set up in a closet in my sewing…
Good morning friends :) I'm popping in to share a card with one of my favorite colorways. I'm not sure when the inspiration grabbed me, perhaps I was looking at my coffee or thinking about creamy chocolate when that "go" button clicked in my mind for a tone on tone card with cream and brown. …
Good morning sweet friends! Hope you all are safe and sound especially if you are affected by the east coast blizzard. Today I'm sharing a simple new card with a frilly layering that looks like lace - I'm pleased as punch so of course I'll share the details. Inspiration started with the…
Hey there friends! I have another card to show today and although it has a bow, it's a teensy bit on the masculine side with masculine colors, kraft paper, a little bit of distressing and no pearls. I get many requests for masculine cards and have to admit that it's the type of card I make the…
Hi there blog friends, I'm excited to share new stamps with you today. My card uses JustRite Ribbon and Swags Vintage Labels Seven, which is a new stamp set I designed to match a new set of classic die templates by JustRite Papercraft called Vintage Labels Seven. Another new die, Heirloom…
From the second I saw the new borders, I knew they had to be mine. There, I said it. I've waited patiently a couple of days to post this card that I played around with right before new years. These borders are so versatile, you can use one, two or border a whole card or page with them. Being…
Good morning sweet blog friends. I'm tickled to have some new stamps to show - so, welcome to the ODBD June 2012 New Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Connie McCotters blog, you are in the right place! If not, you'll sure want to start there so you don't miss a chance to win any of…
Hi there friends, today I'm sharing an ensemble brooch and matching gift card. As you see, I was on quite the gift making spree but all the items I made were fairly easy. The brooch was initially going to be another ornament just like the one from earlier this week that you can see HERE but a…
First, let me tell you that I'm working on a much requested tutorial that I did not manage to have finished tonight, but should in the next day or so - be sure you keep checking back. Otherwise, I promised a review of 2009 and frankly it was kinda fun to look back and see some of the things I made…
Sweet blog friends, can I just tell you that it's a magnificent day! It's simply glorious! I picked a sentiment that has been sitting on the edge of my desk for the better part of a month and I knew there would be a right day to make it into a card. The Serenity Prayer is one I never tire of…
Happy sleep late, lollygag in sweat pants, weekend day blog friends. All I can tell you is that today, nothing can keep me from smiling and humming and singing my favorite songs off-key. It's a busy day but I'm blessed to be busy. How about you? Isn't just the 'little' things that accumulate…

Good morning blog friends! I confess, it is no secret that I'm partial to background stamps! Recently I received a couple of background stamps from JustRite Papercrafts and besides the Fleurista Newsprint Background Stamp that I've used several times this month, I fell in love with the Heart…

Good morning sweet friends, I have a treat to share this morning!! Over the years I've collected many craft supplies but one of my most coveted collections is my drawers of embossing powder. I've always been mesmerized by it. Recently my dear friend Seth Apter introduced new line of 7 luscious…

Hey there blog friends! Since last Sunday I've had 20 hours in a car, 10 hours in a mall, many hours eating and more hours than I can count being plain ole happy. There and back, I'm home again in my cozy home with my familiar things - yep, there's no place like home......ah, where my craft…
Happy weekend friends! It's a rainy day here and I overcame the urge to snuggle up on the sofa with a bottomless cup of coffee, blankets and Netflix to go back and continue cleaning in the studio. It's been a wreck for such a long time and I imagine it will never be clean but at least now…

How about another sneak peek? A tiny peek :-) ...............so there is a reason I'm working on 'Romantic', I love Romantic! I love romantic enough that I centered an entire collection around a romantic feel. In April of 2018 I'll be introducing a collection called "Romancing the Swirl" to…

I'm giddy that I had time to play! I've been hankering to use a new border die that was jumping out of my stash. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it and have another card coming to show you how crazy wonderful this new die is - Spellbinders Shells Duality. OMGoodness! Oh, and I have…
Hi there blog friends! Remember yesterday when I said I was gonna rustle up some of the new stuff on my desk to gussy up into a card. (Speaking of new stuff, I mention some Blog Candy at the end of my post). Well, today I have new things to show and I know you can't really hear the excitement in…
Good morning sweet friends! This week JustRite Papercraft has been showing new releases for the month of August so I created a gratitude card using the new Vintage Labels Nine along with Celebration Sentiments and Ironworks Vintage Labels Eight. Although Ironworks is a background stamp, I…
Good morning blog friends! I got a chunk of craft time, so I sat down and got inky with some new stamps and reached out all over my desk to make some projects for my crafty friends. I never know whose gonna get what, but I love to have special craft gifts ready for the occasion before it comes…

Sweet friends, what an exciting week, right? I've taken some rest and for the first time in some time, turned off the lamp that burns the midnight oil. Today as I sit looking out at the rain, sipping a sweetly decadent cup of coffee, I know that life is good. Sometimes it takes a long time to…
Hello there! Thanks so much for your wonderful comments on my latest Becca Bit. I know I'm not able to tackle every single email but when you all ask questions it sure gives me material to cover :-) So I'm back with a card, and this one I've had floating around in my head…
It's a glorious morning! I hope recent days have been kind to your soul. Today I have a new card - granted, not an occasion I like to trumpet, but I do like being well prepared. This month JustRite Papercraft introduced a nice Sympathy set (Sympathy Handwritten Sentiments) that I thought…
