It’s Sunday – and that means it’s time to take a look back at the past week in my Week in Review post. I am also sharing a little bit about the exciting week ahead, so I hope you’ll stick around after you enjoy my Monday-through-Saturday lookback.
In today’s post, I want to share a quick rundown of the week (for those who don’t follow me every day) and a little extra background (for those who already tune in every day). Always such fun!
Monday
For several weeks I shared projects created by (or in coordination with) my dear friend Louise Sharp, who spent a week-and-a-half at our home in Atlanta. We crafted, we toured the city and we traveled to Tennessee during her stay. On Monday, I shared pictures and stories from her visit. ♥

Tuesday
I launched Tuesday’s post with the announcement the the Clearance Rack would be refreshed that night. If you stopped there and didn’t continue down the page, then you missed this beauty:
Louise water colored this coffee cup while she was here – the assembled cup was on the edge of my craft desk for a week, and I was happy to build a project around it.
The cup had a rustic feel to it. I could have built a vintage background for it with some brown papers and textures, but I thought it would really pop against a crisp, bold design. So happy with this. The great sleeve on the cut was cropped with the speckled green paper from the Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, so I repeated that paper around the edge of the card.

Wednesday
In the wee hours of the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, Stampin’ Up! loaded the Clearance Rack with A LOT of retired products at amazing discounts. While I had announced the Clearance Rack Refresh on Tuesday, I used Wednesday’s post to share projects I’d previously shared with some of the items loaded into the Clearance Rack.
Here’s one of the inspiration projects I shared in Wednesday’s post from cards I made back in 2022. The cards were created for my local Starbucks to hand out with Meals on Wheels handouts during their service project. I loved making these cards and was excited to gift them to the store:
These products were designed by Stampin’ Up! well before the pandemic, but they were perfect to build an uplifting show of kindness. I love when that happens!

While many of the newly added Clearance Rack products have sold out, some are are still available. You may want to take another peek so you don’t miss out! 🙂
Thursday
The Winter Wishes Bundle has been sitting on my craft desk for the past two weeks, and I’ve joyfully flipped through the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper several times since it arrived. Thursday gave me the chance to share a project I made with both of these amazing products. Here’s the card I shared on Thursday:
How’s that for a brown Christmas card?! Pecan Pie is

Friday
When I ship product shares or Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kits, I like to make a thank you tag with coordinating products. The tags are just a small effort to show my big gratitude.
On Friday, I shared with you the tags I made to accompany the Regal Flora Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kits that were mailed out earlier in the week. Here’s a look at the tag:
The tag features a die-cut label from the Regal Flora Dies and a circle punch of one of the patterns in the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (which is GORGEOUS!).

Saturday
After sharing the tags from the Regal Flora Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kit, I was excited to share the online tutorial for this kit in Saturday’s post.
I couldn’t love the projects Emma and I made for this kit any more than I do. How could the projects NOT be amazing with such a gorgeous bundle and pack of papers. We included several other products in the designs, too! If you’d like to read more about the kit and the available Online Tutorial (including a video and written tutorial), CLICK HERE.
