Savor the Journey

Have you checked out the Touch Twin Challenges lately?    Well, if it’s been a while, just check it out!  Twice per month, the Touch Twin design team shares a varying challenge for everyone.   Sometimes it’s an inspiration photo, or perhaps a color challenge, or perhaps a theme … it’s somewhat of a “salad” of inspiration [...]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~!~!   I am tickled pink to be the Guest Designer today for Really Reasonable Ribbon!  Thank you, True and Bonnie, for this sweet opportunity!   I’ve created a couple of fun projects using their wonderful ribbons.   I’ll share one of them with you here, and have posted both projects over at the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog. [...]

Or maybe I should call it, “Sweets for the Sweet”!?    Not a special occasion, but rather just concocting something sweet, and chocolate plus pink seemed like a great place to start!  This is such a sweet & fun stamp set, “Sweet on You“, from Our Craft Lounge.  The images are all yummy & fun to [...]

  Welcome to the brand new week, my friends!    I’m starting my stamping week off with the latest FS challenge from Splitcoaststampers, FS201.   Seems like I never tire of heat embossing, and today’s creation employs heat embossing, followed by emboss resist, so this one easily reached out to me.  Honestly, the trickiest part of this [...]

Welcome to the bright beginning of a brand new week! For those of you who have been participating in the Our Craft Lounge sneak peeks and blog hop … Yes!  Today will be the day that we all learn the names of the blog candy winners!   At this moment, even I don’t know the names [...]

Welcome to the newest week, my friends!  Have you ever wished you had developed a “stash” of ready cards … something from which you can quickly grab a card “right now”, and mail it out “today”, so to speak?   It happens …  C’mon … you know that it does.   Alas, I know it as well [...]

  This week’s CAS challenge at SCS is to create a square card.  Well, it’s pretty well known that I enjoy making square cards, so how could I resist joining in the fun?   … … Did you catch the fact that it is a “CAS” challenge (CAS = clean and simple)?   Yeah …. I love [...]

Wooooooooohooooooooooo!!   Welcome to the last day of this decade!  That’s right!  Tomorrow brings in the new year, 2010!    My plans for the eve of 2010 have been ‘set’ for a few weeks … (It’s basically an annual event.)  … Playing board games and/or dominoes with treasured local friends, eating probable no-no snacks of sweets and/or far too [...]

I’m starting off the new week with a new idea for my card stash … courtesy of this week’s featured stamper challenge (FS151) over at SplitcoastStampers!  ‘Smilyn Stef’ is this week’s stamper … Congratulations, Stef!  Why am I excited?  Because it’s quick … collect a few masculine papers, and it comes together easily!  Minimal ribbon is [...]

  I confess!  It’s clean & simple … so it’s hard to believe that it’s mine … I know!  But I just ‘had’ to try this fab sketch for the DSKETCH0909 challenge at SCS!  I loved it when I first found it, and knew that I wanted to give it a try.  What a sweet sketch, presented [...]

  Hooray!  It’s time for another Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge!   This week, Korin has developed another fun sketch … definitely enjoyable to work with this one!  I’ve long been a fan of using circles, so I’m sure I’ll want to use this sketch again.  Be sure to check it out at The Sweet Stop today, and [...]

  I will easily admit that although I sincerely enjoy papercrafting and rubberstamping, I’m really not a prolific card ‘sender’.  Perhaps because most or many of my cards go to the stamp companies, and a few are sent in for hopeful publication.   Other than that, I honestly need to be more proficient at sending cards to friends [...]

Happy Independence Day, everyone!   I’m wishing a wonderful celebration with friends and/or family for each of you on this celebration of our Nation’s Independence! Those of you who know me in real life (IRL) already know that I sincerely enjoy meeting up with friends.  It’s a delight when I meet ‘cyber’ friends at last, and [...]

Hi there, everyone!   I was fortunate to have some time to stamp today and participated in the featured stamper challenge (FS122) at SCS.  This week’s stamper is ‘Kisamari’.   Congratulations, Kisa!   Now that I’ve cased Kisa’s card, I’ve already discovered some items worthy of change.  Isn’t that one of the cool aspects of stamping?  It seems that [...]

 Welcome, everyone!  I have a sneaky little peek of a fabulous new set of inchies for you today, Inchies Trees!    And I also have a “flub”.   Alas, I have flubbed up big time …. but I’m a big girl, and I’m going to just tell it like it is.  It’s time for another Wacky Wednesday Challenge, WW13!  [...]
