So much for playing with my new stuff. It is taking us longer than we anticipated to make 288 Christmas Crackers and 864 Christmas Tags. Yup that is right. We are making that many. We have been at it for the last 3 days and need to get them finished today! If I was a betting person, I would say, with Kathy and my determination, that we will get them done today. I guess the...

Yesterday afternoon, I received my Stampin' Up! order with some of the Preorder items from the new Occasions Catalog. I ripped it open and then felt guilty. I can't play with this stuff, I have too much to do for Christmas. Let's just see how long I can hold off that temptation today. I have a list a mile long that needs to be done. Perhaps if I get half way through, I can set... Read more →

I just thought that I might just break away from doing something about Christmas. Back in August, I did a Birthday Card that I wanted to share with you. There is nothing like a black, white, and silver card. It is so elegant. This card is very simple to make, but effective I think.

I just wanted to take this moment to reflect.... On November 11, Canadians wear poppies and gather at war memorials across Canada to pay tribute to those who died in war. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the time the Armistice of World War I was signed in 1918, we observe two minutes of silence to remember. Lest we forget. May we take this time to remember and honor... Read more →

I belong to a monthly swap where I get lots of wonderful cards from some very talented ladies. This card that I am going to show you was done by Liane Binder and it is where I got the pattern from for the card that I did showed yesterday. I also used this design for a Christmas Card that I did for my Christmas Stamp Stack. I love it. She used the really cute Christmas... Read more →

Last weekend, when I attended On Stage in Vancouver, I was in a wow swap. A Wow card is one that people would not necessarily do for a card class. I made a card using the Floral Boutique Suite that can be seen on pages 76 and 77 as seen below. I just love this Suite. Here is a wedding card that I made for the swap. And here are the product that I used... Read more →
