Today's 3D item is this Monogrammed note holder, I've been meaning to make this for the last few weeks.  I'm so excited that it turned out just how I had imagined.


"Don't you just get so excited when something turns out like you have it pictured in your head :-)"
I know I sure do!

After I did the video I sprinkled a few Rhinestones  around the box

For a recent swap, I was asked to make a card using only Card Stock and ink, one would have thought "WHAT, no DSP," but wow, was it fun to create!

Using the Brushwork Alphabet stamp set, Dapper Denim card stock & Ink
& the Stitched Shapes Framelits, I made this Get Well Soon card.

I'm thinking anyone who would get this in the mail, will be feeling a millions times better as soon as they open it.  Thanks Donna C for having me step out of my comfort zone and try something new :-)   

I participated in a "sketch challenge" this past week and this is the card I created.  The picture on the right is the "sketch" they provided and the picture on the left is what I created.

Who would have thought using Old Olive & Berry Bust together would make such a fabulous card?  I also thought about "masking off" the
"May your Season" and just stamping the Sparkle, then you could use it for a birthday card too.

If you don't have this set in your inventory, it's a must have stamp set!!
Look for more amazing things using this set in the next week. 

I've had so many friends ask me "how did you make that Purse?"
So I thought why not make a video to show you - I sure hope you enjoy watching and creating your very own!
I just know every one of you will want the supplies I used while creating this, so I also have included item numbers and a list of everything I used to make ordering easy for you.  I have made a quick instructions sheet for you here.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything else!

Christmas in August is so much fun and a tad scary, this means we only have 5 months to get ready for Christmas!


"Lets start our Christmas  projects now!"

Mark your calendars for
August 26th to make this adorable Christmas Train.  

I still have spots open for this class e-mail or call 602-486-2709.

As I was relaxing and looking through my facebook I saw  a post that said "Choose to Shine,"  it really struck me so I went out to my craft room and mustered up a few products and I came out with this. 
I really choose to look at life as just this saying "Choose to Shine"  sure hope you enjoyed this as much as I did :-)

Check out this new bundle
"Happy Birthday Gorgeous"
I think the Basic Black paired with the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock is absolutely stunning.
Anyone with a birthday coming up will get a kick out of receiving this fun, bright & cheery card.

This was our last Make-n-Take for the retreat, featuring the Lemon Zest bundle.
I've had so much fun playing with this set!



Sure hope you enjoyed all the creations!  Join us in October for all the fun!

October 6th, 7th & 8th

Each day we used different Bundles as our Make-n-Takes.

All items were pre-cut and ready for you to assemble, the Colorful Season Bundle was used to make these cards. 


You usually get 3 card sets per day, so you walk away with 9 cards but
 this bundle showcases all 4 seasons, so you walked away with 10 cards this retreat!!!

 All the little extras are exclusive to retreat goers and it's all included in your retreat  ;-)

On Friday when you arrived, you received this really cute bag made just for you in mind, each were filled with goodies, one of the many goodies that filled your bag were all the project Make-n-Takes for the entire weekend.  Each day you were given all the supplies
"stamps & ink" to complete your projects.   At the end of the night all that "day's" cards were cleaned up packed away and the next days cards came out.  Look for more
Make-n-Takes this whole week.
