I spent some time today adding some fun embellishments to our Daily Specials section (that means they are at REDUCED PRICES!).   I think you’ll enjoy the prices!  One new kit was put together and I’ve pulled samples of some of the other items in use, just in case anyone would enjoy a little inspiration.   Girls Just […]

Today I was just having fun again going through and trying to make more space — it truly IS a never ending task for me!  And it IS fun to actually see what I have –  kind of like revisiting old friends!  Today these vintage ladies struck my fancy.  Supplies are fairly low on them […]

Welcome!  It’s Saturday, so that means another Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style Hop.  Today it was a color challenge — red, white and blue — with thoughts of the coming Memorial Day in mind; however, ANY type of project was permissible in this color scheme.  I did begin a card for Memoral Day, but my plans […]

Today I have a Vintage Valentine Kit to show you that I put together using a product I have long loved — Cotton Scraps by Crafty Secrets.  Unfortunately, these Cotton Scraps are no longer being manufactured, so when they are gone, they’re gone.  They were a produt that I’ve used over and over and over […]

Today I just felt like playing with ribbon — so I did!  I’ve been in SUCH a pink mood of late, so PINK it was.  And VINTAGE.  I’ve been wanting to put together more Ribbon Samplers for ages, and today was my start — I’m so pleased with the results and I hope you are, too! […]

Tonight I needed a quick card to mail out tomorrow for a brand new baby girl.  Cotton Scraps to the rescue! No stamping — quick and easy, using Baby Girl Cotton Scraps for my focal image and Ducks in a Row 8×8 Pad by October Afternoon, dressed up with some buttons from my stash and […]

Just wanted to show you today a really quick card I made and also some new ribbon and paper I just got in at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  Let’s start with the card: This is most definitely my most favorite *go-to* style of card that I make often when I’m in a time crunch.  It […]

Very Vintage – This challenge theme comes at special request (feel free to leave your requests in the comment section below).   Today’s challenge is to incorporate a vintage feel or theme into your card — and the sky is the limit — go with a  traditional VERY vintage look, or change it up to suite today’s […]

Mid-Winter Perk-me-up!  Today we are all going to create projects with a floral theme and some fresh spring-time colors – whatever says *Spring* to you!  Let’s just forget our cold temps and think of those beautiful flowers due to pop up once spring does hit!   Just Think Spring and have some fun! Remember to use Mr. Linky below! […]
