Fridays are for friendship…

I am writing this a little late because I was finishing some custom orders and then had some friends drop in.  That stamping thing distracts me every time. 🙂 So, how did you give back today?  Was it a small gesture or did you do something huge like buy lunch? I have to say thatContinue reading “Fridays are for friendship…”

Black magic and rainbows…

It’s Thursday and I am happy to show you a new way to use your embossing paste.  Let it dry like normal and then sponge color on top.  You can use a sponge, dauber, or even the sponge brayer.  Then cut your die in coordinating colors of cardstock. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂

Embossing buddy is not just for embossing.

So today we are going to explore how to use a product in a way it was not intended.  I am sure that you know the embossing buddy is used to take static out of paper or cardstock.  But, did you know, that the buddy can also be used to remove adhesive or sticky spots.Continue reading “Embossing buddy is not just for embossing.”

Punches are to elevate.

I hope everything is good with you and everyone is back to work or school.  Holidays always seem to give a good break to the routine, but in many ways mess up things too.  So, if you are feeling a little less than “ready to go” I can empathize with you. For today we willContinue reading “Punches are to elevate.”

Is today a work day?

Most everyone has today off, but not all.  The military gates still need to be guarded, songs have to be recorded, and cards need to be created.  For me, I am putting some time in at the craft table today.  If you create today don’t forget to post photos on the Facebook page for rewardContinue reading “Is today a work day?”

How do you rest?

Today is my sabbath.  How do you rest?  Today will be finishing a load or two of laundry and then I am off to the local theatre to see a play.  Since it’s a holiday weekend are you taking tomorrow instead to put your feet up?  Just remember before you know it we will blinkContinue reading “How do you rest?”

Promotions and more!

Have you heard that the new Holiday Catalog started?  I hope so.  If not please let me know so I can get your copy delivered to you. With this new catalog comes a new promotion…  If a group order of $300 or more is achieved you get the usual $40 of FREE product but youContinue reading “Promotions and more!”

Fridays are giving back…sometimes to our own.

Today’s post is a hard one to write.  I thought we were through the worst of things for awhile, but God has different plans.  Our sweet Merry has been going through it.  In the last two years she has lost her husband and one of her two daughters to cancer.  Just this week she lostContinue reading “Fridays are giving back…sometimes to our own.”

Every mistake is just a creative opportunity…

There is no mistake in crafting.  There is an opportunity to make something new and different when the project does not go as planned. So, earlier this week, I had sat down to create.  Everything was going as planned until I cut the ribbon too short. It may not look like it is too shortContinue reading “Every mistake is just a creative opportunity…”

Sometimes backwards is the right way.

I was the kid that walked to school backwards just because I could.  And my Mom was saying the whole time “please turn around so you don’t trip and fall”.  Well, that was the first time.  By the end of the treck she was telling me somewhat forcefully to “walk right”.  Well, I didn’t die,Continue reading “Sometimes backwards is the right way.”
