Hello there!! Lots and lots of sneak peeks from this month's Studio Calico kits to share with you today! I used the new Story Hour kit (available Feb. 27) and the Happy Little Moments kit (sold out) to make all of these cards. Hope you enjoy....
Happy Thursday!! Hope your day's a great one!
This is the studio doorway. Windsor loves to go lay out in the hall at the top of the stairs while I'm working. I suppose that way, I can't leave without him knowing it and no one else can come upstairs without him knowing it. But the other day, I heard him making stretchy puppy sounds and looked over to see him laying like this. He lays like this ALL. THE. TIME. And I have to say, it's one of the little quirks about him that I love dearly. I've been showing you pictures of his hiney, while laying like this, since he was teeny-tiny....but I love that I managed to catch a photo of him laying like this from the front because.......well, just look at that face!
Remember this one from when he was 4 weeks old? It was the day we picked him out.
I've never seen a puppy that loves to stretch out more than this one. Whether it's on his belly like this, on one side or the other, or sprawled out on his back, legs completely spread eagle, this boy loves to sleep stretched out. Cracks me up and is sooo endearing all at the same time.
Once I started taking pictures of him in the doorway, he decided he'd better come in the studio. I guess he wanted to give me a proper pose. :)
But goodness, he was just toooo sleepy. Couldn't keep his eyes open. :)
Also, I would like to point out that his nose is totally changing colors. When he was born, his nose was black. Completely black. See.....
It was part of why I fell in love with him. He was the only boy puppy (in his litter of 11 puppies!) that was the fox red color with a black nose. The other little boy with the same colored fur, had a pink/brown nose. We loved that little black nose. I sometimes think, the Lord must have known we'd fall in love with that little black nose, so He let Windsor be the only boy with one, so we'd choose him.
Now, however, his nose is a mix of pink and black and we love him more today than the day we brought him home. I'm curious though, to see what color his nose turns out to be. I guess we'll see. :)
Before I go, perhaps we should attempt to make this post at least a little bit crafty-related....... *wink*
Looks like all kinds of fun CHA product is hitting online stores.....like the brand-spankin' new Dear Lizzie Neopolitan goodies. How fun is this super-fun roller stamp?!?
Dear Lizzie Neapolitan at Ellen Hutson
Dear Lizzie Neopolitan at Two Peas
Also, Two Peas has these adorable Echo Park collections!
So cute! There are lots of different items in these collections at Two Peas, so be sure to click the links below to see everything they have. This line is called Charming.
See the Echo Park Charming collection here.
And this is the Graceful collection. OH, how I love the colors in these collections!!!
See the Echo Park Graceful collection here.
For those of you that love wood buttons, have you seen these from American Crafts?
And how pretty are these brads from My Minds Eye? Gah! Can't wait to get these!
Nothin' like fun new products to inspire us to get crafty, right?
I worked all day with some of the new Studio Calico kits for this month, including the kit you see above. It's Maggie Holmes' new Happy Little Moments class kit and oh my stars, I have to say that it is probably my favorite kit of all time!! And the best part is, it's already available (and selling quickly!) so if you like it, you'd better grab one fast. It's gorgeous! I'll have gobs of projects to share with you soon....stay tuned for some sneak peeks while we wait for this month's Studio Calico release.
I guess that about wraps it up for tonight. I hope your week is off to a great start!

Helloooooo there! I've got a fun little project to share with you today!
You may have seen the Grand Finale of the February anniversary festivities at Papertrey this week, which was the group post from the Design Team featuring the new Movers & Shakers die collection. I've since made another fun discovery with one of those dies that I couldn't wait to show you! The Movers & Shakers: Popper (spiral) die can be used to create the rolled flowers that are so popular these days! Pair the die with Papertrey's wool felt and you've got a flowery match made in Heaven. I'm so excited to show you a few variations on these rolled flowers and just how easy they are to put together! And don't you just love it when you can get double duty out of a die and use it for more than it's originally intended use? More bang for your buck!
Firstly, a pretty photo of the work in progress. As you can see in the photo above, there are different sizes of flowers, as well as flowers made from felt and card stock. You can see the paper flower at the bottom of the photo....it's the tiniest, obviously because card stock is a lot thinner than felt. My preference for these flowers is definitely the felt variety, but feel free to try your hand at the paper version if you'd prefer.
So when you die cut the felt, what you end up with is the tight little circle on the right (above). You'll want to go ahead and unroll it completely, like you see on the left.
Next, you'll start with the center circle, and begin wrapping the felt around and around in a tight circle, with each row getting tucked behind the previous row.
When you get to the end, it'll look like this (above) with the final little tab sticking out.
In the photo above, you can see the BACK side of the flower.....simply tuck that final circle tab into the center so that it's back to back with the center tab that we started with.
Now, you have a few options for how to adhere the flowers. You can add a dab of glue (or hot glue) here and there as you wrap the layers. The absolute easiest way to adhere them is to simply run them thru your sewing machine and stitch a straight line thru all the layers like this....
The front side is seen above and below is the back side....
See how nicely the stitching holds everything in place? Very tidy. However, if you don't have a sewing machine or don't love being able to see the stitching on the front of the flower, simply glue the layers together. Either way will work.
Now, the flowers this die creates are a fine size, but suppose you want to vary the sizes of flowers clustered on a card (like the one at the top of this post).... :)
Simply begin wrapping just like we did with the first flower, but when you get it to about the size you want, simply snip off the rest of the spiral and tuck the end of your flower just like we did before.
Buttttttttt........suppose you want a BIGGER flower???? And maybe even one with two colors of felt??????
Simply die cut two pieces of felt (here, I've used pure poppy felt and raspberry fizz felt), stack the two centers together and begin wrapping both layers round and round, just like you would with a single color.
Above, is my two-toned flower in progress.
The nice thing about working with felt is that it sort of sticks to itself, so you can lay your flower down when you need to and it won't uncurl. The beauty of these larger felt flowers is that you can use the Limitless Layers: 1 3/4" circle die to cut another piece of felt on which you can add some glue and simply adhere to the back of the flower, securing everything in place.
For another bit of security (and just because it's so darn cute), I stitched a button thru the center of the flower, all the way thru the back layer of felt. It's just one more measure to make sure the flower doesn't come undone.
And here, I've put three of these little beauties on a card. Tucked behind them are some kraft felt die cut leaves....I used a Turning A New Leaf die for those.
And of course, the background panel is rustic cream card stock stamped with one of my new favorites.....Background Basics: Medallion. The sentiment is from the new anniversary set, Pretty Peonies (another favorite)!
I hope you've enjoyed today's project!! Did you order the Movers & Shakers: Popper collection? Is this spiral die on it's way to you now? Or have you just added it to your wish list? Hee. Any plans to make some rolled felt flowers as soon as you get this die? I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks so much for sharing a bit of your day with me.
Happy weekend,

Hi there!
Well, I've got quite a few more cards to share with you today. I had the honor of creating some cards for Studio Calico's booth at CHA last month and am happy to share them with you today! These cards feature lots of brand new goodies from Studio Calico that will be available soon. These first two cards feature the new Classic Calico Vol. 2 collection.....love these neutrals!
Stamps from the new collection....
....as well as chipboard buttons and how about those pretty patterned papers?
These papers are from the same collection and yet, what a different look I was able to achieve by throwing some stamped pink in there, huh?! I used Papertrey's Happy Day die to die cut the patterned paper here.
Next up are a couple of cards from the new Take Note collection. Um, anything sort of office-y? Sign me up! Haha.
I used Papertrey's Limitless Layers: 1 3/4" circle dies to create the circle and pinked edge peeking out behind it.
That's what she said......lol. I miss Steve Carell on the Office!
Don't you just love that little 'details' badge? So fun!
And lastly, two cards from the new Abroad line....
I love that sentiment -- "next to you is my favorite destination". I used a scalloped border die on the dotty paper.
Another die used here....one of my Journal Tabs dies -- I stamped the 'miss you' on it and added it to the bottom of the "polaroid". How cute is that wood veneer car?!
Be sure to keep an eye out for these new Studio Calico releases!
Hope you enjoy your day! I'll be back tomorrow with another fun post for you!

Hello there!! Well, we've made it to the end of Papertrey's anniversary countdown! Did you enjoy all of the festivities? I sure hope so! We're not quite finished yet though.....each of the design team members has TWO posts for you today featuring all of the other projects we haven't yet shared this week, as well as projects using Papertrey's new anniversary stamp set. For now, let's get right to this first project, shall we? It features Lovely Leaves and Think Big Favorites #13. How cute is that little branch with it's leaves and berries? That's from the new Lovely Leaves stamp set.
Also from Lovely Leaves, is the small "happy birthday." sentiment. The larger "happy birthday" is from the new Think Big Favorites #13 stamp set. I added a strip of dotty paper from the new Raspberry Fizz Pattern Pack, that was die cut with the heart border die. I just love those sweet little scallops. Along the bottom of the card are several patterned papers from both the Raspberry Fizz & Aqua Mist Pattern Packs. I die cut some of the papers with the double ended banner die and simply hand cut the wider flags.
Next up is a card featuring Frilly Flowers as well as the new Global Greetings stamp sets. The Global Greetings sets are not actually going to be released this month due to some changes that need to be made to the sets. You may notice a corrected "Gracias" sentiment on my card....I added the upside down exclamation point at the front of the sentiment, which is one of the corrections that will be made when the set is released.
How about that big ole flower?!! I used all 6 of the Frilly Flower dies and stamps to create that 6-layered flower. So much fun. I stamped the back two flowers with pure poppy ink, the middle two using raspberry fizz ink and the top two using berry sorbet ink. The "Thank You" sentiment is from Inside & Out: Thank You.
Next up is the new Beautiful Butterflies set. The Beautiful Butterflies dies were used to create the layered butterflies and don't you just love the font combo Maile used when designing this set?!
Of course, there's more of the Raspberry Fizz Pattern Pack paper here.....those papers are so darn versatile.
See what I mean?.....more.....
This time I used the damask pattern from the Raspberry Fizz Pattern Pack. To that, I added a rustic cream card stock panel on which, I stamped the frame from Framed Out #1 three different times.
I also used the Framed Out #1 die to die cut some of the patterned papers to pop up in the center of each square and then in the bottom right square, I also stamped the sentiment from Framed Out #1 on the center layer. The sentiment piece is popped up with double the thickness of foam adhesive, so it could stick up above the frame layer.
Next up is a card featuring Heart-2-Heart #1. The coordinating die was used to create those cute little coffee cups and I layered them on a mat stack 5 layer that was stamped with a frame image from Mat Stack 5 Collection.
The sentiment also comes from Heart-2-Heart #1. Just below that are a few kraft buttons, layered on a kraft panel that was impressed with the woodgrain impression plate.
I also have to point out that fun background.....it's images from Background Basics: Medallion, stamped in kraft and fine linen inks. SO subtle and pretty!
One more for now, showcasing the Lighten Up stamp set. I used the picnic plaid impression plate on the card base and then die cut some Aqua Mist Pattern Pack striped paper with the mat stack 4 die. That die cut was cut in half and added on either end of the card. The sentiment stamped at the top of the card, is one from Lighten Up.
The Lighten Up dies were used to add the lamps/shades to the card and a bit of baker's twine tied around the terracotta tile card stock finished things off.
Be sure to get around to visit all of the other designers today, to see the last of their countdown projects.

Hi-ya! This is the first of two posts today, so be sure to scroll up so you don't miss either one! For now, I'm so excited to share a couple of projects with you, that I created using Papertrey's 2012 anniversary set, Pretty Peonies! This set is GORGEOUS and the best part is that based on your purchases, you can earn points during the year, which can then be redeemed for this set! So you can get it for FREE! Gotta love that! All the details can be found on Nichole's blog, about how to get this set for yourself.
Pretty Peonies is a beautiful set that includes a little bit of everything that I love -- fabulous sentiments, gorgeous and extremely versatile frames and beautiful flowers that are super classy and easy to use! Whipping up some cards using Pretty Peonies was a joy! This set will definitely be getting a lot of use from me!
I stamped the trio of leaves (which are all on one stamp! LOVE that!) on the rustic cream card base using simply chartreuse ink. Next, I stamped the pretty rectangle frame on spring moss card stock using simply chartreuse ink and then cut it out. The darling sentiment was stamped with ripe avocado ink. Lastly, the flower was stamped with pure poppy ink on berry sorbet card stock, cut out and adhered with foam adhesive. Berry sorbet buttons finish off the focal point.
Along the bottom of the card, I used an Edgers die to create a decorative edge on the card front and the eyelet lace border die was used to add some scallops just below the cream panel.
Next up is a cheery little birthday card.....on the kraft card base is the striped patterned paper from the Raspberry Fizz Pattern Pack.
I die cut some terracotta tile card stock with a limitless layers oval die and added a kraft frame from Pretty Peonies that was stamped with kraft ink and hand cut. Topping the frame is the butterfly from Pretty Peonies, stamped in raspberry fizz ink and cut out.
And how about that gorgeous "happy"???? It's also from.....you guessed it.....Pretty Peonies, as well as the "birthday". I also added a strip of terracotta tile card stock that was die cut with an edgers die, to add one last bit of detail to the sentiment.
If you're as in love with Pretty Peonies as I am, be sure to head over to Nichole's blog to read all the details of how you can get one of these sets for yourself!!
Thanks so much for visiting me today. Be sure to check out my second post for today, showcasing the rest of my release projects for this month! And don't forget to visit all of the girls on the design team, as they've each got TWO posts to share with you today!!

Helloooo there!! Welcome to another Group Post for Papertrey Ink! Today, we're focusing on a brand new line of products that Nichole Heady has designed called Movers & Shakers, so each of the girls on the Design Team will have projects to share with you featuring different items from this product line. The Movers & Shakers collection includes a variety of dies designed to allow you to easily make interactive cards with things that move or pop up or spin, etc. There are also a couple of companion stamp sets perfectly designed with sentiments that go along with the various interactive features of the dies. I get to help introduce this collection to you today, so I've got quite a few projects to share with you, as well as lotttttts of photos so you might as well grab a cuppa and get comfy!! :)
First up, our assignment was to use one of the specific Movers & Shakers dies with an older set, as well as with the new sets that are designed to coordinate with these dies. I've selected the slits popper die to work with for this assignment, so how about if we start with a project that shows how well an older set can pair with these new dies.
I wanted to use Scattered Showers as the 'older set' for this card, so I started out by stamping the raindrop background on the aqua mist card base. To that, I added a panel of rustic cream card stock that's been stamped with the new Background Basics: Medallion. LOVE how this pattern reminds me of vintage wallpaper.
Next up, I die cut some kraft card stock with the Tag Sale #5 die and layered on some Rosie Posie flowers and leaves as well as a sentiment from Scattered Showers Additions. A doily details die was tucked behind the tag and some simply chartreuse ribbon was added to the top of the tab.
Now, to the fun part.....this is what you see when you open the card......
GAH! How fun is that?!! The cloud dies were used on aqua mist card stock and they were then stamped with the same Background Basics: Medallion that was used on the front of the card, however this time it was stamped in aqua mist only.
The Scattered Showers dies and stamp set were used to create the two little umbrellas and the Fillable Frames #11 die and stamp set were used to house the "Cheer up, Buttercup" sentiment from Scattered Showers.
Here's a side view so you can see how the card is constructed. I trimmed a piece of kraft card stock to 11" x 3 3/4" so the aqua mist card base would peek out on either side. I scored the kraft layer in half and the lined up the new Movers & Shakers: Poppers slit die along the score line and ran it thru the Vagabond. The result is 4 slits in the card stock that, when folded forward on the outsides and backward in the middle, create the perfect platform that pops up inside the card. All that's left is to decorate that little platform with whatever you'd like to pop up! As you can see, two layers of goodies can be added to pop up, and by using the card base as well, like I did with the clouds, you can essentially achieve 3 layers of dimension! I simply used a bit of scor-tape on the base of the umbrella handles to adhere them to the pop up platform.
Next up is another card using that same Movers & Shakers: Poppers die, but this time with the new Movers & Shakers Sentiments stamp set. What a FUN stamp set!!
The card base is kraft card stock, covered with one of the new patterns from the Raspberry Fizz Pattern Pack (LOVE how versatile these papers are!!!). The Mat Stack 3 die and Layerz Mat Stack 3 die were used to create the focal point. The "Every Single Day" sentiment from Movers & Shakers Sentiments was stamped in raspberry fizz ink and the "I am reminded how wonderful you are" sentiment (also from Movers & Shakers Sentiments) was stamped on a thin strip of kraft card stock with dark chocolate ink. The decorative image just under the sentiments is one from Celebrations. A few kraft buttons finished off the focal point.
Along the bottom of the card, I added two die cut strips of rustic cream and dark chocolate card stock -- die cut with the heart border die and the filigree border die. Chocolate baker's twine wrapped and tied was the finishing touch.
And here's what you see when you open the card.....
The fillable frames #4 die and coordinating frame image from the Fillable Frames Additions 1 stamp set were used to create the sentiment frame. The frame was stamped in kraft ink and the "Celebrating your birthday" sentiment from Movers & Shakers Sentiments was stamped in dark chocolate ink.
The Beautiful Blooms flower dies were used to create the flower and one of the new Frilly Flowers dies was used to die cut the leaves.
Here's the side view so you can see how it's constructed. In this case, I wanted the flower to pop up a bit above the sentiment, so I adhered another little strip of patterned paper to the back of the "seat" portion of the pop up as well as to the back side of the flower.
All righty, next up is another of the new Movers & Shakers: Poppers dies.....this one's a bit different, but we'll get to that in a sec. First, let's chat about the card front. :)
See that yummy stripey paper? It's another of the patterned papers in the Aqua Mist Pattern Pack.....it was die cut with the mat stack 5 die. On top of that is some hawaiian shores card stock that was die cut with the Celebrations die and stamped with a coordinating frame image from the Celebrations stamp set. The top layer is rustic cream card stock that was die cut with the Fillable Frames #5 die. It was stamped with two fun sentiments from Simply You stamp set -- "You" and "are beautiful inside and out."
Have I mentioned how much I love Background Basics: Medallion? And how much it reminds me of vintage wallpaper? I have? Well it bears repeating. Hee. I stamped it here with aqua mist and hawaiian shores inks. Happy sigh.
And here's what you see when you open the card....
FUN, right? The "Birthday" sentiment is from Movers & Shakers Sentiments. I cut a piece of the new Aqua Mist Pattern Pack bitty dot paper to a standard A2 size and scored it across the middle.
I know you can't see my score line here, but it's there and that's the edge you want to line up with the top edge of the HAPPY letters and then run it thru your die cutting machine.
Here's what you end up with.
Next, you'll need to take scissors and snip the letters free on either side of the die cut.
Then, to make your life easier, take a ruler and line it up from the top edge of the slit on the left to the top edge of the slit on the right and make a score line.
Then, you can fold the letters forward and fold along that score line you created and everything will fold flat for you inside the card.
All right, so next up is a card featuring one of my favorite new Movers & Shakers dies.......Movers & Shakers: Zippers! There are two sizes of this die and they are BRILLIANT!!!! By far, my favorite interactive feature on a card ever! EVER! Let me show you...
Here's one of the dies and the back side of the card stock I die cut with it. I know it's a bit hard to see in the photo, but you'll want to run your adhesive right along both edges of the zipper. I recommend using a really strong adhesive like scor-tape to help the zipper work really well.
I stamped more of that gorgeous Background Basics: Medallion on the rustic cream card base, this time with pure poppy and raspberry fizz inks. I LOOOOOOOVE this. Ack!
Ok, focus Dawn (haha!)....so the fillable frames #4 die was used again here, as well as a coordinating stamped frame. The "YOU" sentiment is one from the new Simply You set. Goodness, this is a fantastic stamp set to let someone know how much they mean to you. The striped paper on either side is from the new Raspberry Fizz Pattern Pack and was die cut with the double ended banner die.
Just inside the zipper portion of the pure poppy card stock, I stamped one of the little coordinating images from Movers & Shakers Sentiments -- "pull here".
When I give this card to Bartley, he can pull that zipper open to reveal the rest of the sentiment which I'll give you a peek at here.....
How fun is that?!?!?!?!?! Seriously.......these zipper dies are my favorite ever.
And speaking of my favorites.....
When you're stamping away in your studio and you stamp a really pretty pattern that totally makes your heart go pitter patter (like the front of the card I just showed you for Bart), don't forget to pull out your iPhone, snap a picture and use it as the wallpaper on your phone!! How pretty is this?????? And yes, for the record, I did snap a picture of the aqua mist/hawaiian shores combo too, so after Valentine's Day, perhaps when spring rolls around, I can swap this one out. Although, to be fair, we all know that I don't need Valentine's Day to sport some red and pink together! Hahaha.
Anyway, that was just a little bonus idea for you...... :)
Ok, so last card for today, but this is another REALLY fun one!! I can totally see myself using these dies again and again....they're just so darn cute! These are the Sliders dies.
Here's a peek at two of the Movers & Shakers: Sliders dies. There are two sets of these in two different sizes. You need to use both of these dies together to create the slider. See where the dotted rows are on the dies? You'll want to score along those lines on your card stock, like I did in the photo.
Next, you'll adhere the two together, along the little rounded tab (see the middle of the photo). Go ahead and do any stamping you want on the inside portion and then put adhesive around 3 edges of the pocket, keeping the top edge clear.
When you adhere the pocket to the card front, it looks like this. I used more Raspberry Fizz Pattern Pack paper -- the damask print -- on the card front and stamped the "Happiness" from Movers & Shakers Sentiments in Canyon Clay ink. The Love Lives Here dies were used on dark chocolate and raspberry fizz felt to create the little stitched circle as well as the teeny felt heart.
When you follow the instructions and "PULL HERE", this is what you see.....
The rest of the "Happiness" sentiment is tucked inside the slider...."Happiness.......is having a friend by your side". I also stamped the frame from Recipe Box Label as a fun decorative element. Seriously, can you just imagine how fun it will be to give cards like this to your loved ones??? I am so excited myself, to give Bartley his zipper card!
There's lots more Movers & Shakers inspiration to be had, so bop around and visit the other designers today...

Hi-ya, Sweets!
So today at Nichole Heady's blog, she's introducing more new products for this month's release, and she's also got another fun challenge for you. I decided to play along with this one too! Are you enjoying these challenges? I'm having a lot of fun with them! Today's challenge is to make a card using butterflies and leaves. The butterfly part was easy.....I just pulled out my Signature Series: Butterfly stamp set and die. And for the leaves, I pulled out my current favorite leaves....the ones from the Harvest Berries stamp set. And of course, the fact that there are coordinating dies, makes them a cinch to use. Happy sigh....I just love that.
I also used the new Mat Stack 5 Collection stamp set to create the fun berry sorbet layer, and the new limitless layers: oval die came in handy for the cream layer behind the butterfly.
I also pulled out another old favorite, Polka Dot Basics II. Also, ummmm, did you get the new kraft ink yet???? That's it, in the photo above......both stamped on the cream butterfly as well as stamped with the dots on kraft card stock. I LOOOOVE that ink. Love it. I may as well warn you now, that you're likely to see a lot of that ink used around here! :)
All righty then, that's it for me today, but you won't want to miss Nichole's blog to see about playing along in today's challenge....there's another big prize up for grabs! Maile Belles will also be introducing a couple of new stamp sets and Heather Nichols, Lisa Johnson, Melissa Bickford, Tiffany Pastor and Lizzie Jones will also be sharing more peeks at their newest sets.

Hey there, Peeps! (Sorry, I couldn't resist, what with the Easter theme and all!) :)
Anywho, it's time for the first of two Design Team group posts this month at Papertrey Ink, and today, we're focusing on two different stamp sets.....Scrambled Eggs designed by Heather Nichols and Sweet Spring designed by Lisa Johnson. Scrambled Eggs is a companion set to the previously released Egg Hunt stamp set and coordinates with the Egg die, however there is also a new die available with this release that coordinates with the egg basket image in Scrambled Eggs.
As for Sweet Spring, it's a follow-up set to the previously released Christmas Labels stamp set and coordinates with the Christmas Label die. Let's get right to today's projects...
When trying to decide which egg I wanted to use on a card, I quickly decided that I couldn't decide (smile).....so why not use them all? I started out with a sweet blush card base measuring 6" x 3.5" when folded. I added some of the bitty dot paper from the new Rasperry Fizz pattern pack and rounded the bottom two corners with a corner chomper. Can I just tell you how much I LOVE these two sentiments that Heather included in this set??? I stamped the "hippity hoppity" and "easter's on its way" on two small strips of rustic cream card stock and stitched them to the card front. Is the song running thru your head like it is mine? :)
The various eggs from Scrambled Eggs were stamped on die cut eggs and adhered to the card front....some with regular adhesive and some with foam adhesive to give a bit of dimension. A few pearls were added to the raspberry fizz egg.
How cute are the bunny and Easter basket? I think, if I'm honest, they're my favorite eggs. But let's not tell the others. I stamped the bunny egg and used the new bunny ears die to cut out his ears. The bunny egg was adhered with foam adhesive, while the ears were adhered with just a bit of scor-tape right at the base of the ears, so that I could fluff them forward a bit. As for that sweet little Easter basket, I stamped the flowers from Scrambled Eggs on an egg die cut. Next, I die cut the new Easter basket egg from kraft card stock and stamped the coordinating basket image with kraft ink. Both layers were adhered with foam adhesive, so that the basket pops out from the front of the card, a smidge farther than all of the other elements. A bit of baker's twine and a rhinestone finished things off.
Next, I made a little gift tag, perfect for a just because gift for a friend this spring using Lisa's Sweet Spring stamp set. The tag was die cut with the tag sale #5 die and tucked behind it is a doily details die cut that was cut from more of the new Raspberry Fizz pattern pack paper. On the tag, I stamped the "welcome spring" sentiment from Sweet Spring, as well as the flower trio. Rhinestones were added to the centers of the flowers and a teeny butterfly from Sweet Spring was stamped, cut out and adhered with foam adhesive. One of the oval images from Sweet Spring was stamped and then cut out with pinking sheers, before being topped with some raspberry fizz buttons.
I hope you've enjoyed today's springy post! Be sure to visit each of the girls on the design team to see their springtime projects today too, and don't forget to play along in the scavenger hunt (see my photo at the top of this post)! You can get all of the details on Nichole's blog! Happy counting!

Hi there!
The Papertrey Ink anniversary festivities and Countdown to this month's product release are well underway! I hope you're having fun so far! Today, Nichole Heady has several new stamp sets to introduce to you, as well as info about today's fun contest. As usual, there's another great prize package to be had so you won't want to miss out! I thought I'd play along today too.....the challenge is to make a card incorporating hearts. Easy peasy!
Hearts make me think of my sister, Diann. Always. She's the one next in line after me and she was born on Valentine's Day so hearts have always been her "signature". One year, my mom decided to be sneaky and mark our Christmas gifts with symbols instead of our names, so we wouldn't know who's gifts were who's until Christmas morning. So she marked mine with stars and Diann's with hearts. Yeah.....we had a really hard time cracking that code! Hahaha.
So every year when Diann's birthday would roll around, it became our challenge to find her a "Valentine Birthday" card. Not such an easy task! Of course there are a gazillion Valentine cards and five gazillion birthday cards, but to get both on one card.....well, let's just say that Hallmark carries about two of them -- literally -- every year. :) So since I started making my own cards, I have the luxury of making her a special Valentine birthday card every year and you know what? It's pretty darn fun. And not only that, I think she appreciates the extra effort.
So with that being said, today's card is for her. Let's hope she's too busy with the littles and baby Zoey to read my blog this week! Haha. OH, and since we're talking about her, guess what! She's having {another} baby!! Yes, baby Zoey will be 15 months when the new baby arrives!! That means she'll have a 4 year old, a 3 year old, a 15 month old and a newborn! Crazy town! Heeeeee. But you know this auntie is overjoyed!!
Anywho, that was a little bit of a side-track. Back to the birthday card. :) The Happy Day stamp set and die were used to create the sentiment focal point. I simply left off the 's on "Valentine's" and then added the word "Birthday" from Birthday Basics, to create the perfect Valentine Birthday sentiment!
For the background, I started out with a panel of rustic cream card stock that I used to layer all of my stamps and papers on. At the top of the panel, I stamped the postmark image from 2010 Love Tags. (I loved being able to include her actual birth date on the card!) Below that are a few strips of card stock (pure poppy, raspberry fizz and dark chocolate) and then, I stamped some teeny hearts from Background Basics: Hearts in raspberry fizz ink.
Next up is some Simple Valentine patterned paper followed by another thin strip of pure poppy card stock, some more hearts from BB: Hearts and a strip of raspberry fizz card stock die cut with the heart border die. (Everyone who's sister was born on Valentine's Day should have a heart border die in their arsenal, don't you think? *smile*) Finishing off the card is a heart from 2010 Love Tags, stamped in versamark ink on pure poppy card stock, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and hand cut. And of course, lastly is a raspberry fizz button threaded with some chocolate baker's twine.
All righty, that's it for me. I had a ton of fun playing along with today's challenge and I also checked a birthday card off my list while I was at it! Are you planning to play along today too?
Be sure to visit Nichole Heady, Heather Nichols, Ashley Newell and Erin Lincoln to see today's showcased stamp sets. Maile Belles, Lisa Johnson, Melissa Bickford, Tiffany Pastor and Lizzie Jones will also be showing you peeks at their newest sets!
Have a wonderful day, dear readers.

Hey all,
Just popping in quickly to let you know that the winner of the October Afternoon prize pack from Ellen Hutson is TONI K!!
Congrats, Toni! Email me with your mailing address so Ellen can get your prize sent out to you!!
Thanks so much to each of you that left such sweet comments about my CLASSroom post for Ellen. I appreciate each one and am honored to have been asked to share in the CLASSroom.
Before I go, did you see these new goodies in the Ellen Hutson store? Another gorgeous new collection to play with......this one by Crate Paper! I LOVE it! I've used a few of these goodies already....they're so pretty!
Have a great day, Dearies......I'll be back tomorrow with more Papertrey countdown fun!
Hi there!!
The Countdown is on at Papertrey Ink and today, Nichole's got another fun challenge for you along with another amazing prize package filled with some of this month's brand new goodies and more! Today's challenge is to use one of the 5 sketches Nichole has provided on her blog, to create a project of your own. Just for fun, I decided to play along with the challenge. I used the sketch above and came up with this.....
It couldn't have been easier to recreate that sketch on a card, using the wine bottle tag die.....it makes the perfect little flag-y shape, when you trim the rounded portion off the top!
I was also super inspired by this gorgeous card Melissa Phillips made the other day, and couldn't wait to bust out my felt and create a felt flower of my own. It's been way too long! I stacked up a variety of different die cut flowers, added a snippet of adhesive lace and then stitched right thru all the layers with my sewing machine, just like Melissa did. Good grief, that was fast and easy!! I'm in love. All that was left to do was hand stitch a button thru the layers.
I used my Celebrations stamp set as well as my Dearest Jane patterned paper to finish off the card. Happy indeed!!
I hope you'll play along with today's challenge. Be sure to visit Nichole Heady to read all the latest details and see today's product introductions and then bop around and pay a visit to Betsy Veldman, Jessica Witty, Maile Belles, Heather Nichols, Tiffany Pastor, Lisa Johnson, Melissa Bickford and Lizzie Jones for tons more inspiration! Some of the other Design Team girls may be playing along with today's challenge too.....so stop by and see them, while you're at it. :)
Have a HAPPY day, dear friends.

Hi-ya! Welcome back for another fun Papertrey Anniversary Festivities post! Today, Nichole Heady is announcing that Papertrey is now on Pinterest!! Each of us on the design team is sharing why we love Pinterest as well as a Pinterest-inspired project based on a photo we've found on Pinterest.
It seems as though Pinterest has become hugely popular almost overnight and I have to admit that it's one of the first places I go these days, when I'm in need of a little creative inspiration. Whether the photos are of home decor, fashion, crafty projects or something else entirely, there is inspiration to be found everywhere and the best part is that you can "pin" those photos that truly inspire you, to your own pin boards, so that they're easily accessible to you any time you need to find them again. You can see my pinboards here....I have over 1,000 pins, so lots of inspiration for you to peruse!
The photo at the top of this post is one that I have pinned on one of my Pinterest boards....there are so many things about that photo that I love and I wanted to mirror some of those things when creating my card. I started out with a rustic cream card base and die cut the bottom edge with an Edgers die, to replicate the pretty decorative trim on the front of the chair.
To duplicate the look of that gorgeous wallpaper, I stamped Rosie Posie flowers and leaves on a piece of fine linen card stock, using raspberry fizz and spring moss inks.
Then, I added some subtle shading to the flowers and leaves with Copic markers before adding a shadow around all of the images with the T1 Copic.
The Celebrations stamp set and die was used to add the sentiment.
Do you use Pinterest? Do you love it as much as I do? I'd love to hear from you!
Be sure to visit each of the girls on the Design Team to see their Pinterest-inspired projects too!

Hello there! Nichole is making some more fun Papertrey announcements over on her blog today including news of Papertrey logo products that you can now order online thru Cafe Press! Several of the stamp designers (including me) have contributed logo designs that you can have added to various items at Cafe Press. That means that if you'd like to purchase Papertrey logo items such as t-shirts, mugs and tote bags, all with the Raspberry Suite touch, now you can!! I'm excited to get my hands on some of these new items myself! You can view the Cafe Press items here. Head over to Nichole's to read all about it!
She's also sharing about a new series of patterned paper packs that Papertrey will be releasing this year, starting with two colors for this month's release. They're 8 1/2 x 11 paper packs in each of Papertrey's signature colors, each with a collection of 6 patterns and one of those patterns just happens to be one I designed using Damask Designs! You'll now be able to order patterned papers in each of Papertrey's colors in a collection of patterns including dots, damask, stripes, leaves and more! As you can see in the graphic above, Raspberry Fizz is one of the first two colors being released this month, in this gorgeous new collection. Isn't it just dreeeeeamy?!! I've already started using these papers and let me just tell you that they are gorgeous in real life! These are sure to become one of those basic staples you'll want to collect in every color!!
And now, on to the color challenge.....
The contest at Nichole's blog for today is a color challenge. Nichole is sharing each of the design team members' favorite color combos and you can choose one to create a card with too, if you'd like to play along. I have a few "favorite" combos, so I went with this one for today -- raspberry fizz, berry sorbet and ripe avocado. I created a card awhile back with this combo and I decided to whip up another for today's challenge.
I used Delightful Doilies to stamp the doily on the raspberry fizz card base, using raspberry fizz ink. Next is a layer of berry sorbet card stock die cut with a limitless layers: 1 3/4" circle die. A couple of Rosie Posie leaves are tucked in between the layers. They were cut from ripe avocado card stock and stamped with ripe avocado ink. Topping everything is a rustic cream flower that was die cut with the Friendly Flower die and stamped with a flower from the Hello, Friend stamp set.
Along the bottom of the card, I added a strip of berry sorbet card stock on which, I stamped the "Well, hello there" sentiment also from Hello, Friend. I die cut a strip of rustic cream card stock with an Edgers die and stitched a teensy strip of ripe avocado card stock to finish things off.
Be sure to head over to Nichole's blog to read all of today's fun announcements and to see what you need to do to play along in today's color challenge. The prize that's up for grabs??? A Cafe Press gift certificate and Papertrey's entire color collection of card stock, ribbons, felt, buttons and ink!!!!! That's HUGE!!!
Have a great day, friends!

Hi there!
Today, over at Nichole Heady's blog, she's introducing you to each of the 2012 Stamp Designers at Papertrey and she's also asked us to share what is the favorite stamp set that we've designed so far. We've also each created a free graphic for you to use!! Create a card using one of the free graphics, and get entered to win today's contest.....and the prize? Each of the stamp designers' favorite stamp sets!
My favorite stamp set that I've designed so far, I think would have to be Background Basics: Newsprint. Why, that one? Because it's super versatile -- it goes with just about anything and can be adapted to fit a wide variety of personal styles. It looks SO cool when stamped in smokey shadow on rustic cream card stock and distressed with vintage touch tea dye ink! (see above - hee!) And it has sentimental significance to me because of the "articles" I wrote for the newsprint and the family names and important-to-me dates that I was able to incorporate into the set.
I put a little card together to share with you today, using Background Basics: Newsprint, as well as the free graphic I've designed for you to use!
I die cut the bottom edge of the rustic cream card with an Edgers die and then stamped it with Background Basics: Newsprint in smokey shadow ink before inking the edges with vintage touch tea dye ink. Next, I added a raspberry fizz Half & Half die cut that was stamped with a decorative image from Celebrations (notice that it coordinates with the same image on the freebie!) A berry sorbet layer was die cut with the Celebrations die and stamped with one of the coordinating label images from the set. On top of that is some pure poppy card stock die cut with a limitless layers: 2 1/4" oval die and on top of that is a berry sorbet circle die cut topped with the freebie graphic.
The half & half layer was stitched just under the "headline" and a pure poppy button was added for a finishing touch. (That button is GORGEOUS in real life -- it totally looks like a shiny lifesaver! Ha!)
All righty, be sure to head over to Nichole's blog to read today's stamp designer introductions and to download your copy of all of the free graphics you can use for today's contest! I can't wait to see the birthday cards you'll create with this freebie!! I hope you like it!
Have a great day and I'll see you back here again tomorrow!

Hi there!! Well, today is the official kick-off of all of Papertrey's anniversary festivities! For the next 10 days, we'll be having all sorts of fun! So much is in store for you to enjoy....there will be contests and awesome prizes, (in true Papertrey fashion, of course!), exciting announcements and as always, your first peeks at February's product release. It's going to be a FUN 10 days!!
Each day, you'll want to be sure to visit Nichole Heady's blog to see all of the latest news, contest details, etc. For today, Nichole has asked each of us on the Design Team to share some of our favorites with you.....our favorite project from 2011, our top five favorite products and even some favorite memories of our time with PTI.
I counted them up and discovered that I created over 350 projects for Papertrey in 2011 so choosing a favorite was sort of like choosing a favorite child! Ha. In all actuality, there were 9 or 10 that really stuck out to me as favorites but in the end, I went with the one you see at the top of this post. I love that little flower background, I love the colors, I love the fluffy flower and leaves and that it's all piled up on a cutie-patootie tag.
TOP FIVE FAVORITES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for favorite products, again, you can see my list above. The mat stack 4 die is a favorite simply because it goes with EVERYthing! I reach for it again and again and it never gets old. The Rosie Posie stamp set is a favorite because those flowers just inspire me to create with them like no others. They speak to me. They are sooo right up my alley. :) Chocolate baker's twine made the list because it's another one of those staples that goes with so much and even though twine may be small, sometimes it's the perfect little tidbit to finish a project off with just the right amount of detail.
Raspberry Fizz buttons made my list because.....well.......have you SEEN them? They're the absolute fizziest!! They're the perfect bright pink and sorting thru that particular little button jar makes my heart happy. It's the little things, you know? :) And last on my top five list is rustic cream card stock. It's more interesting than vintage cream with it's little flecks of this and that.....and yet, it's perfect on nearly any project. I love it so.
MEMORIES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's hard to believe that I'm coming up on four years with Papertrey this summer. I've immensely enjoyed my time with Papertrey and look forward to many more years to come. I consider myself to be so blessed to be able to work from home, working with products -- and PEOPLE -- I love, getting to design my own products, seeing my product ideas come to fruition and turn into real life products that lots of you have used and love.....it all makes me so happy and so fulfilled. And for that, I am extremely grateful.
I've had a lot of fun times with Papertrey over the last few years.....there are lots of fun memories of crazy behind-the-scenes moments that make me smile and some of those memories literally make me laugh out loud, to this day! Like the time Mishie and I were on an airplane two rows behind a REALLY drunk lady who was sitting on her knees in her chair, facing backward (!) toward us during the flight....and the whole time, I kept thinking, "Just don't make eye contact. Just don't make eye contact." But there was Mishie, chatting (chatting!) with Ms. Drunko-skunko, while I was hoping she wasn't going to hurt us! Hahahaha! Or there was the year I roomed with Heather at CHA and my feet hurt so bad when I climbed into my bed that night that I told Heather the blankets were too heavy and they hurt my feet......only to be reminded of that exact conversation a year later when I was rooming with Mishie also at CHA and my feet hurt so bad when I climbed into my bed that night, I told Mishie the blankets were too heavy and they hurt my feet. I'd completely forgotten that I said that the year before, but the next morning at breakfast, we were all laughing and joking and Mishie told Heather that I'd said that the night before and Heather said, "That's what she said last year!" LOL! I'll also never forget meeting Betsy for the first time and realizing that while she's every bit as polite and sweet and quiet as I kind of pictured in my head, she also has this awesome sense of humor and totally made me laugh over and over. I love the girls on the design team. I love that we have history together. I love that we have fun memories together. And even though I haven't met all of them in person, they are all dears and I am grateful to call them "friend".
THANK YOU
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thru Papertrey, I've also had the opportunity to meet lots of customers and you, my dear blog readers, who have encouraged me and poured joy and happiness and love into my life. It's those moments....those times when I connect with one of you either in real life, or via the comments section on my blog, or thru email.....it's those moments that remind me of why I do what I do. Thank you for your encouragement over the years. Being on a design team is not always easy. It's wonderful, to be sure, but it's not always easy and I can't tell you how much it means when you take the time to say something nice....to share an encouraging word. I can't tell you how much a kind word can mean or how far it can go. It makes a difference. YOU make a difference to me, and I thank you for all the ways you've blessed me over these last few years.
I also have to say a huge thank you to Jane, Julie & Nichole -- Papertrey's owners -- who have given me many wonderful opportunities. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I'll be back tomorrow with another something fun to share....I hope you'll join me. In the meantime, be sure to head to Nichole's blog to see what you can do to enter today's contest -- the prize is the entire collection of the design team's favorites!!!
Much love,
Hey there! So, sometimes if Windsor's a naughty boy, he gets a time out. For him, it's a fate worse than death. You could yell at him, or spank his hiney....he'd prefer that any day of the week, to a time out. He hates time out. See, time out means that I put his leash on him and then hook the end of the leash over the bannister and he has to stay in that one spot (as far as the leash will let him reach) for a few minutes........by himself. Oh, the horror. For a lab puppy who loves to be around people, it's the ultimate punishment. Heehee. Soooo....there are two bannisters in this house -- one at the bottom of the stairs and one leading from the kitchen into the family room. Both work as time out spots, depending on where we are. The key is to make sure to keep an eye (or ear) on him, you know...so he doesn't chew the bannister up or something.....while still putting him far enough away that he gets the point that he's in trouble.
So the other day, he walked out of the studio and I did what I always do. I immediately told him to come back in here with mama. No response. Yes, I realize I could have put the baby gate up to keep him contained in the studio, but he does like to lay right out in the hallway and I'm totally ok with that, as long as I can see him. But the little stinker was out of sight, and that *could* mean trouble.
I got up out of the chair and walked around the corner and this is what I saw when I looked down the stairs!!
The goofy little boy has decided that he kind of likes laying on the landing at the bottom of the stairs, in one of the time out spots! Soooo, I'm thinking that a time out in that location is going to be slightly less effective now! Haha. When I'm eating breakfast, he'll go lay on the landing by himself. Just because. When I eat lunch, he goes and lays there. On his own. Silly puppy! I can't argue with him.....at least I know where he is and he's not getting into any trouble!
I snapped this one the other morning with my phone. Sweet boy.....it's pretty cute to see him laying there. It's his own cozy little corner. Makes me smile.
Anywho, lots going on in the studio these days, in preparation for Papertrey's anniversary festivities! Gonna be fun!!
For today, I thought I'd mention that Two Peas got lots of the new My Mind's Eye goodies in. Have you seen these?? Ack.....I'm in love with the Follow Your Heart line, designed by Rhonna Farrer. For every $25 you spend on My Mind's Eye product, you'll receive a free gift while supplies last!
Click here to shop My Mind's Eye.
My favorites are the Be Happy collection and the Be Amazing collection! Seriously, how cute are these brads?!! Happy sigh.
Hope you have a great day, dear reader.
Thinking of you and wishing you well,
Hello there! It's the first of the month which means it's Senior Design Team Challenge day at Papertrey Ink and this month, we're focusing on the entire Fillable Frames series of stamps and dies, designed by Heather Nichols. Nichole challenged us to pull out our favorite stamp/die from the collection and that was an easy one for me.....Fillable Frames #4 has been my favorite for ages now. I've used it a couple of different ways today to show you just how versatile these stamps and dies are. I've made a mask and created a one-layer background effect, as well as a more dimensional look by using the die. Let me show you what I did.....
To look at this card, you might initially think that I used the Fillable Frames #4 die along with the stamp here, but I didn't. Only the flowers are popped up here because the frame, sentiment and background pattern are all stamped on the same layer!
I stamped the frame on a piece of copy paper and cut it out by hand, so I could cut it nice and close....right along the edge of the frame. Then, I laid it on a piece of rustic cream card stock (secured with a smidge of removable adhesive) and stamped the dotted background pattern over the whole panel, as well as right over the top of the copy paper mask. When I removed the mask, I had a nice little blank space left for the frame. Next, I stamped the dark chocolate frame in the space the mask had left behind, and then I stamped the sentiment from Fillable Frames Additions 2, using summer sunrise ink.
The above photo shows you a little better, how the frame is stamped on the same layer as the background. I then die-cut and stamped a flower and some leaves using the Rosie Posie stamps and dies and popped them up on the card front using a bit of foam adhesive.
I also can't seem to stamp a Rosie Posie flower any more, without adding a bit of shading with Copics. Maile did this during the last Countdown and it was sooo gorgeous!
Next up is a card with a lot of the same elements, however this time, the frame was die cut from aqua mist card stock, stamped with hawaiian shores ink, and adhered with foam adhesive, before the flowers were added on top with a bit more foam adhesive.
The sentiment was added to another strip of aqua mist card stock that was die cut with a double-ended banner die.
I used another of the stamps from Polka Dot Basics II, this time using dark chocolate ink. Like I said, the elements are similar, but I love the different looks you can achieve by either using the Fillable Frames stamp with the die or without.
Be sure to pop around to visit the other girls on the Senior Design Team today to see which of the Fillable Frames series is their favorite!

Hi there,
Well, I have a fun little tidbit to share with you today.....Garrett's popcorn, which I raved about just the other day, is offering free shipping when you order online today only. Thought I'd share the shipping code with you in case you want to give them a whirl. Mmmmm.....think of me when you're munching on that delicious popcorn! :)
The Maid of Fairbourne Hall by Julie Klassen
I also have a book recommendation for you -- this one gets two thumbs up from me and a dear friend of mine as well. If you love Downton Abbey, you'll likely thoroughly enjoy this book. There's a definite "upstairs, downstairs" theme to the storyline, so like in Downton Abbey. I love, loved this book....such a good story and I think you just might love it too!
Hope you're having a great day!
Hi there!
Today, I've got a fun little challenge for you to play along with if you'd like. Since CHA (Craft & Hobby Association trade show) is going on right now in California and some of the Studio Calico crew is there, we thought we'd have a few Design Team challenges for you here at home, from the girls at Studion Calico. You can find the guidelines for playing along HERE as well as a thread for each challenge, so you can easily play along with one or all of them. The thread for my challenge is HERE! Come say hi and play along with me!! :)
Since washi tape is soooo popular these days (and since I've recently come to love it myself!), my challenge for you today is to add washi tape to card stock and then die cut that card stock to create a washi covered die cut.
Here's how I did mine. I love this gray star washi from mt. I covered a strip of rustic cream card stock with the washi, lining up each edge so it creates one continuous pattern. Then, I used one of Papertrey's half & half dies to die cut the panel and then added that die cut to my card. Easy peasy!
Here, you can see not only my washi die cut, but also some sneaks at some of the new Studio Calico goodies that are being released at CHA this weekend! The papers are from the Classic Calico Vol. 2 and Abroad collections and the stamps are from Take Note and Classic Calico Vol. 2 stamp sets. I also added a My Mind's Eye rhinestone to accent the flower.
I hope you'll play along with the challenge. If you do, be sure to head over to the Studio Calico forum and leave the link to your project in my thread there, so we can all see what you came up with!
Happy Sunday, Peeps!

Hi-ya!
So it's reveal day at Studio Calico and all of the February kits are now available for purchase! Today, I've got gobs of cards to share with you, all using the February Daydream Believer kits! Besides the main Daydream Believer kit, I also got add-ons #2 and #4 -- Lady Lane and Stepping Stone. I had so much fun with these......Let's get right to the projects, shall we?
This first card is from the main kit only -- Daydream Believer. I also added a bit of Mister Huey's calico shine on the little banner....it's hard to see the shimmer on the cream muslin in the photo, but in real life, it adds just the right amount of soft shimmer.
Next up....this one's all Daydream Believer again, with the addition of a brad from the Lady Lane add-on.
I used Papertrey's mat stack 4 die to die cut the black woodgrain paper and then layered elements from teh kit on top.
Papertrey's heart border die was used on the patterned paper along the bottom of the card. The pocket was created using a bag that came in the kit. It was longer than I needed it to be for a card, so I trimmed off the bottom inch and a half or so and then stitched along the bottom, giving me a new, shorter pocket.
Inside the pocket is a bit of card stock where I can jot an extra little note to the recipient. I topped it with a die cut (journal tabs die) and a Dear Lizzy brad (love that thing!).
Here's another Daydream Believer card for you.......added a bit of Mister Huey's spray in Cameo on this one.
I used a Love Lives Here die to cut out the little scalloped circle behind the butterfly and the stamped frame was created by stamping a smaller frame (from Daydream Believer) twice, allowing the two frames to overlap on one edge, creating a larger frame. The overlap is hidden by the butterfly!
For some reason, this next one reminds me of a skirt Tinkerbell might wear! Haha. This card is another featuring all Daydream Believer kit items. The frame was die cut using the Simply Jane die.
I used some of the mistable trim from the kit -- it comes in 3 sizes, so I figured, why not use 'em all?! Ha. The top layer is spritzed with Mister Huey's in Cameo, the two middle layers with Overdue and the bottom two with Plum Thumb. The mistables take the spray mist sooo well and dry really quickly. This was very fun to put together!
Ahhh.....now this one makes me smile. The floral background paper is from Stepping Stone add-on #4 and everything else is from the Lady Lane add-on. Those Dear Lizzy brads are soooo cute, aren't they?
I used the Happy Day die on the ledger paper and the doily was hand cut from patterned paper.
This one's all from the Lady Lane add-on #2.....how about that fun My Mind's Eye garland? Fun, right?
And need I mention, yet again, the adorable Dear Lizzy brad? Ha.
This card comes mostly from the Stepping Stone add-on #4 with a couple of bits from the main kit added in. The colors in this particular add-on were soooo fun to work with, but then again, you know me and bright pink and turquoise. :)
I used one of my doily details dies to die cut the gray/white paper, and my signature series: butterfly die on the floral paper. I also spritzed on some calico shine for kicks.
Mmm.....more fun colors here. Another from Stepping Stone......Love the October Afternoon journaling cards in this kit. The "FRIEND" was stamped with stamps from the kit.
The flower was created using my Friendly Flower die as well as the Sending You leaf die. I stitched the flower layers together with some baker's twine and a button from the kit.
One more before I go....this one from Stepping Stone as well. I just added some kraft card stock to this one. Another fun journaling card here. The flowers were hand cut from a patterned paper from the kit. A few rhinestones were the perfect finishing touch.
All righty then, that's it for me today. I hope you've enjoyed your time with me. Do you have a favorite card from today's line-up? I'd love to hear from you!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
chat soon,

Hey there....thought it was time for another Favorite Things post. This is the part of the show where I tell you about products that I love because I think you might love them too. Sometimes they're crafty in nature and sometimes they're not. Today, we're all over the map. Haha. (no pun intended!)
To start things off, I want to tell you about the Vagabond Sizzix electronic die-cutting machine by Tim Holtz. Now, before you start wondering, neither Tim Holtz nor Sizzix have any idea who I am. I'm just telling you about the Vagabond because my dear husband got it for me as a surprise for Christmas. I was shocked. I hadn't asked for one but he'd heard me talking about it because my bestie has one and loves hers. Anyway, as it turns out, I love this electronic die cutting machine! First of all, isn't it just cute? I love that it looks like a well-traveled little suitcase!
Here's what it looks like when you open it up. In case you want to order it online, Ellen Hutson has the Vagabond here and Two Peas has it here.
It comes with everything you need to get started, though if you plan to use wafer thin dies (like Papertrey's dies), you'll also need to buy this die adapter (it's basically a shim) which retails for about $10. Two Peas has the Solo Thin Die Adapter HERE and Ellen Hutson has it HERE.
The thing is, I do a lot of die-cutting. A lot. And I have to say that it's soooo nice to just put the sandwich in the machine, slide the lever back or forth (telling it which way to crank the sandwich thru) and then push a button and watch the machine do all the work for me! I've been super impressed with this machine. It's very heavy duty -- it weighs 14 pounds -- and is very strong. It cuts like buttah. And the extra length on the platform makes it really nice when using longer border dies and such. Tim Holtz has a demonstration video here, so you can see the Vagabond in action.
So if you're in the market for a new die cutting machine, you might want to consider this one. Ellen Hutson also carries the extended cutting plates for the Vagabond (they're longer just like the platform).
Next up, let's talk make-up. Now if you've been hanging around here for very long, you've probably figured out that a lot of the time, I'm a MAC make-up girl. I love my MAC, but there are a few exceptions to that rule....one being in the mascara department. I have fairly long eyelashes and big eyes so if I use a cruddy mascara, it's kind of obvious! Haha. And one pet peeve of mine, is when mascara flakes off as the day wears on. I don't think one should ever have to look in the mirror only to find mascara crumbs on your cheeks.....but maybe that's just me. :) That's where Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara comes in. I've been using this mascara for....well, gosh....quite awhile now and I have to say that I love it. It makes my lashes look longer and thicker and most importantly -- NO flaking! And the best part is that you can have all of that, at a drug store price! Score! You can find this mascara at just about any drug store, box store, or make-up store where inexpensive brands are sold. One word of caution though.....don't poke yourself in the eye accidentally with that "brush". See in the picture above?? Those aren't "bristles" but actually hard plastic spikes. They do NOT feel good when jammed into your eyeball. Or so I've heard.
Lastly, before I go, is Garrett's Popcorn in Chicago. Yes, I know I don't live in Chicago. I'm well aware that I live a good 8 hours away from being able to conveniently buy any of this delicious popcorn myself, but there's always the internet, right? Whenever we go to Chicago -- even if just on a layover passing thru to somewhere else -- Garrett's is a main priority for Bartley and I. The cashew caramel crunch is the most amazing caramel popcorn I've ever had and I say that in all sincerity. It's just so RICH tasting without being super sugary, if that makes any sense. We also highly recommend the cheese popcorn. Super cheesy and delicious.
I will readily admit that to order it online, you pretty much need to take out a loan because it's rather pricey, but OH MY STARS is it fun when a box of this delicious goodness arrives on your doorstep. I speak from experience. A dear, DEAR, very beautiful, charming, loving, hilarious and did I mention beautiful friend sent us a cannister of Garrett's for Christmas this year (she obviously loves us a LOT) and I nearly danced a jig when I saw the logo on the outside of the box when it landed on our doorstep. I called Bart right away at work and promised to not eat one single solitary kernel until he got home to share with me. Bart and I are not the type to keep score with each other....about anything, really......except when it comes to Garretts Popcorn. That's when very strict sharing rules apply. :)
Do yourself a favor.....go take out a loan, order yourself some Garrett's Popcorn and enjoy every last morsel when it arrives. Or better yet, run to Chicago, walk right in to any Garrett's location and enjoy every last morsel they put in your bag.
You don't have to thank me.
This concludes today's Favorite Things post!! Hope you've enjoyed it.
Happy weekend, dear readers...
Someone takes up just a wee bit more room on his woobie than he did a few months back......
I still can't believe how fast he's grown sometimes. He wasn't a tiny boy for long.
I thought some of you might be wondering about Windsor these days. He's doing really well....his scar is disappearing and now we're just waiting for all of his fur to grow back in (where they shaved it for his surgery) and it's hard to see in the photo, but he is making some progress in that department. There's some light colored fur coming in on his belly now.
He's also becoming quite the sweetie-pants. He LOVES to look out the front door with me. We'll go to the door and I'll squat down beside him (me on the left and him on the right) and I scooch as far to the left, away from him, as the door will allow and then I wait. Because he sits immediately to look out the door. But usually within a few seconds of me squatting down beside him, the little dear scoots his hiney over to the left, so that he's now leaning on me while we check out all of the happenings in the cul-de-sac. I have to be careful that he doesn't knock me over! Ha. I must admit that I melt a little each time he scooches over to lean on me. Gah. So sweet.
He also feels the need to sit or lay on the floor RIGHT behind whoever's at the kitchen sink. Doesn't matter if it's me or Bartley -- he does it with us both -- but he turns his back to us and the sink and sits/lays -- again leaning -- on whoever's there. It's the funniest thing. And he does it all. the. time.
Now that he's maturing a bit, he's been able to stay in the studio with me some during the day instead of being in his kennel. He either lays on his woobie or in the doorway/hall....or he sits and looks out the window, keeping an eye on the cul-de-sac. It's funny how long he'll sit in front of the window, sometimes. He doesn't bark or anything. Just sits and watches. Very observant, that one. I love it.
Can't believe he'll be 8 months old next week. Where does the time go?
Hope you're all having a great day. Working on a few more projects in the studio that I'll be able to share soon. Also working on a Favorite Things post so stay tuned for that. I've also got a couple of fun posts coming up for you this weekend, so I hope you'll drop by!
Until then,
Hey there!
Well, it's been a bit of a crafty whirlwind around these parts.

Lots to share in the days ahead. For today, how about some sneaks of what's to come with the Daydream Believer kits this month?
I had lots of fun creating with Daydream Believer and the Lady Lane and Stepping Stone add-on kits. Pockets, brads, butterflies......
Die cuts, chipboard, Mister Huey love.......
Layers, layers, layers......
Scrumptious papers, ribbons, more brads (LOVE).....
Flair, dots, and more dots......
Flowers, stamps, buttons, and more....
Journaling cards, flowers with jewel centers.....
Serious fun this month! Can't wait to show you each of these cards in full. Until then, wishing you a very, very happy day!

Have a great day, dear readers! I'm off to craft it up in here. Haha.
Hi-ya!
So last week, during the countdown, I shared a pair of Thank You cards in reds and pinks that used this same basic layout. I loved the layout so much that I couldn't resist using it again on another little pair of thank yous. Now that Christmas is over, I've got a list of thank yous that I need to get in the mail and seeing as it's already the middle of January, I'd better get a move-on!
The card bases are stamper's select white card stock layered with a fun paper from the Green Boutique collection. I used my Celebrations stamp set and coordinating die to create the fun label, and the sentiment is from Papertrey's A Big Thank You set. Behind the Celebrations label, is a scalloped oval that was die cut with one of the new limitless layers: 2 1/4" oval dies and behind that is, of course, some aqua mist card stock that was die cut with a half & half die. I love those dies. Some rhinestones and a little stitching on the sewing machine finished things off. I love how simple and yet how fun these cards are.....have you gotten your thank you notes mailed off yet? Or are you running a bit behind in that department, like I am?
I hope these cards have inspired you to get your rear in gear, like me, and whip up some thank yous! :)
Happy Tuesday, dear readers,

Hi-ya!
Happy Papertrey Release Day! All of this month's new releases will be available for purchase tonight at 10pm EST at Papertrey Ink, including my new Celebrations stamp set, my Happily Ever After stamp set and my Dearest Jane patterned paper collection!
Before you make up your final wish list, I've got a few more projects to share with you, starting with this friendly little number featuring the Lace Bouquet stamp set as well as a sentiment from Script Sentiments.
You can also see a bit of my new Dearest Jane patterned paper peeking out from behind the berry sorbet layer.
Next up is Heather's Tag-Its #12.
I used it to create the tag, heart and the little gray background pattern. I also used the Winterberry dies to die cut some spring moss card stock for the leaf accent.
The "Just Married" sentiment is from Happily Ever After and the "CONGRATS" is from Celebrations.
One more.....this one featuring Melissa Bickford's Floral Fusion #12. I pulled out the Tag-Its #10 stamp set to stamp the circle tags around the flowers and then added the flowers and button centers from Floral Fusion #12.
The sentiment is from the new Think Big Favorites #12 and I layered it over a raspberry fizz frame that was die cut with my new Celebrations die and stamped with a coordinating frame from the Celebrations stamp set.
Well that's it for me today. Have you made your wish list and checked it twice?
The other girls on the design team all have their final projects to share with you today, plus Nichole will have previews posted of all of this month's new releases in full!!

Happy shopping, Dearies!
Hi there!
It's the final day of the Papertrey Countdown which means that tomorrow is the big day when all of these new products you've been getting peeks at this week will finally be available for purchase. For today, it's another Group Post day so all of the girls on the design team have projects to share with you, and today we're focusing on a gorgeous new stamp set designed by Nichole Heady, called Simply Jane. It comes complete with beautiful silhouette images, a gorgeous frame and Jane Austen quotes for sentiments, and of course there is also a coordinating set of dies that will be available.
I wanted to create a friendship card so I used a couple of the new Simply Jane dies, to die cut a pretty little pair of friends....I stamped them both, one using hawaiian shores ink and the other using aqua mist ink. I die cut the frame (another Simply Jane die) and then stamped the coordinating frame image using aqua mist ink, as well as some hawaiian shores ink just around the outer edges of the frame. A few adhesive pearls finished off the focal point.
I have to say, I love this sentiment from Simply Jane so much. It just makes me smile. I trimmed off a smidge of the card front on the right side, and then die cut a strip of hawaiian shores card stock with the heart border die and adhered it to the back side of the card front, so that the scallops peek out.
Next up is a sweet little thank you note. In keeping with the Jane Austen theme, I decided to use a bit of my new Dearest Jane patterned paper as well as a stamped library card. The sentiment from Simply Jane fit perfectly in the space at the top of the library card.
The mat stack 5 die was used to cut out a piece of rustic cream card stock on which I stamped one of the cameo images from Simply Jane as well as the string of pearls. The flower was cut out and adhered in her hair.
The berry sorbet frame was die cut with the mat stack 5 die and then I stamped the gorgeous frame from Simply Jane with versamark ink before heat embossing it with clear embossing powder. Next, I used the new limitless layers: 2.25" oval to die cut the center of the frame and adhered it over the cream layer.
The same flower that can be seen on the cameo, was heat embossed in the dark chocolate scallops along the bottom of the card.
For this shabby chic little number, I paired up Simply Jane with my new Celebrations stamp set.
The Celebrations die and stamp set were used to create the berry sorbet layer. Both the "HAPPY" and "Enjoy getting settled in your new home" sentiments are from Celebrations. The frame was stamped with versamark ink and the sentiments and roses on the frame were stamped with pure poppy ink. Behind the berry layer, I stamped the frame from Simply Jane twice, using hawaiian shores ink. The two frames overlap each other in order to peek out around the Celebrations frame, but once you cover them with the die cut, you can't see the overlap.....all that's left is a really pretty decorative frame around the sentiments!
For the background pattern, I stamped the bouquet and bow images from Simply Jane in a repeating pattern and then inked the edges of everything with vintage touch tea dye ink. I love how sweet this card turned out.
One more for you before I go......a bridal shower invite using both Simply Jane and my new Happily Ever After stamp set.
The card base is fine linen card stock. I used the Simply Jane frame die to die cut both the frame as well as a bit of my new Dearest Jane patterned paper. I stamped the coordinating frame in dark chocolate ink on the kraft die cut. A pair of new kraft buttons were added to accent the frame. I used another of the Simply Jane dies to die cut the bouquet image and then stamped it with the bouquet and bow, to create the perfect focal point for a bridal shower card.
The sentiments -- "You're invited to a" and "Bridal Shower" -- are both from Happily Ever After. They were stamped on a strip of rustic cream card stock that was adhered with foam adhesive. Behind that is a bit of kraft card stock that was die cut with the filigree border die.
I hope you've enjoyed today's projects! Don't forget to pop over and visit each of the girls on the design team for their Simply Jane projects!
