Savor the Journey

Well, I “wish” it was literally bloomin’ Spring here … but I might be shoving the edge a bit in Mother Nature’s opinion.   I can’t help it!  Every winter “needs” a look >>>forward sometimes!   Ever since my weekend at the Stamp Scrap Art Tour with Inky Antics and Darcie’s, I’ve been wanting to play with [...]

I’ve brought out two of my favorite newest items here in the studio today:  a darling little mousie from Inky Antics, and some fabulous polka dotted ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, all to share a colorful, happy greeting for someone special! I just adore this luscious polka dotted satin ribbon … it coordinates perfectly with [...]

That’s right!   We’ve been challenged to “Make It Manly“! And so for once … I went to “my” manly source = DH. Previously … …  and also 99.9% of the time … … I simply choose my own ‘manly/masculine’ way to approach a challenge/card/project, then proceed on my own instincts. Surely, many stampers/papercrafters follow the [...]

How did it get to be “Monday” again so quickly?!   For me it seems that both Spring and Summer just “zip past” faster than I can comprehend.   But one of the best things about Monday is that it brings a new challenge to us from Outlines Rubber Stamps!  This month was oh so easy (in [...]

  But I suppose everyone does now & then!   Oh wait … there’s more to this one.  Here … check it out. Ohhhhh, that Edna.   She’s leaving me practically speechless today!     Edna is having a tough time this morning, deciding whether or not to wake up the “grouch” … but for his sake, I hope [...]

Oh … it’s not your birthday?     Ooooops! The Outlines Design Team has been challenged to create birthday cards this week … and thus … here’s my Happy Birthday Wish!   (Okay … the sentiment is actually on the “inside” … but I’ll show you!) Hold onto your party hats!  I’ll share the interior sentiment in a [...]

I just could’t resist some of the newest ‘old characters’ from Rubbernecker Stamps.  Once you take a look at poor old Edna, you’ll see what I mean.   Just when you think you might be in a frumpy mood … surely Edna will snap you right out of it!     See what I mean?   Now I’ve never had [...]
