I am anxiously awaiting my order so that I can make this brooch – it's beautiful and just my style! THE brooch: Supplies: Stamp: Clearly… Read More »
Hi Stampers I'm still working on Christmas cards – my self imposed deadline came and went and I'm still at it. We are such creatures of habit – every year I tell myself that I'm going to make my cards early in the season but it never happens! This card and gift was for Jane, my BFF in Northwest Arkansas! We had a great time yesterday, first coffee and donuts at Daylight… Read More »
Hi Stampers I love the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper with its classic vintage Christmas images in the deep colors of Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Always Artichoke and Crumb Cake perfect for the holiday season. I'm trying to make as many homemade Christmas ornaments as I can for our Christmas tree. I decided to start with the milk carton die to make the birdhouse that was so popular last year. I… Read More »
Hi Stampers I finally put up my letters in my Stampin' Studio. Several months ago I bought the Decorative Monogram R and C from the 2010 Definitely Decorative Mini Catalog but just hadn't gotten around to put them up in my room. I love the look of the classic letters with the subtle flourish – how about you. What is your style of letter? And here they are on my… Read More »
Hi Stampers There is a slight chill in the air. do you feel it? FALL is here! I love fall – the crisp, cooler weather makes me think of pumpkins and spice, apple cider, and comfort food! My favorite comfort food is Pumpkin Pie! What is your favorite comfort food? I took a picture of the fall colors outside my studio window this morning to show you how beautiful it can… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers Hope you had a pleasant weekend – for me it went by too fast. As I was getting my morning blog fix, I ran across a the cutest purse on Glenda's Blog (Glenda Calkins). She had a video on how to make it and it was so easy. I made this for my newest friend and angel – Susan from Virginia. She was my convention buddy and when… Read More »

Good Morning Stampers! At Friday's class, the ladies made a card and gift bag using the stamp set Happiness Shared. I love this set! The gorgeous life-like flowers in this set make it the perfect focal point for this card and bag gift set. A wonderful way to say thank you. The ladies were able to choose what color they wanted to use from the In Color Patterns Designer Series Paper… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers! I've been missing for a couple of days – I hope you've noticed! I have not stamped nor been in my room because we've been 3 days without air conditioning and the internet connection has been really flukey (is that a word???). My room gets the sun all day and it can get really warm in there and with the temperatures in the 90's and high humidity,… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers I'm going to be showing the ladies how to make the flowers shown below at my next New Techniques Class. They have been asking for this class and even though they also asked for fabric flowers, I thought I would have a separate class for those type of flowers. I still have to tackle the fabric flowers but there are so many new things to learn in this world of stamping… Read More »
