Sometimes rest can be found in the simple things. Sometimes it’s your favorite cup of coffee, a kiss on the forehead from your significant other, or just a moment with your dog. This morning I found myself with my dog. Just sitting on the couch petting him over and over again. He seemed to likeContinue reading “Resting is petting a puppy.”

Office Hours for today will be cancelled. I will be at the Farmers’ Market from 8-1 so I will be available by text, message, or e-mail.

An alternate to a kit.
Today’s card is a tiny bit different as it is a bit of a conglomeration of ideas. First, I started with a colored base, a new color at that. The color is called Granny Apple Green. And then I cut it long ways instead of the “normal” way. I then took a piece of whiteContinue reading “An alternate to a kit.”
Simple details to complete a card.
It’s amazing to me how a different color of cardstock or a different pattern of designer series paper can make a card look so different. Paper can make a card or project appear masculine, feminine, or somewhere in between. So before you throw away that project that just doesn’t seem to want to come togetherContinue reading “Simple details to complete a card.”

Tiling on Father’s Day.

Cut wood texture mat at 5 1/4″ x 4″. Cut old olive strips at 5 1/4″ x 1/4″ and 4″ xContinue reading “Tiling on Father’s Day.”
Making something smaller is often helpful.
You’ve heard that if you have a huge project to do that you should break it up into smaller chunks to get it done. This also prevents feeling overwhelmed. The same is true with our stamping products. Just recently I cut a shammy into smaller pieces. This is so when I use the Stamparatus IContinue reading “Making something smaller is often helpful.”
Card class and Serina’s punch box!
There is always a bunch going on…but this week is Card Class! And next week is Serina’s Darling Punch Box Class! Card Class invitations went out very late this time and I apologize.
