Tomorrow is the first day of October. That means I can unpack the Halloween pillows and candles I bought in August, hang the ghost lights I bought in September and pull out the ceramic pumpkins Mom made for me years ago. I don’t normally decorate for Halloween, but I’m excited about it this year! The first day of October also introduces us to a new Starter Kit Promotion (both options are exciting!) and some fun…
On Saturday, I hosted my monthly Zoom call with my Paper Pumpkin customers. During our Pumpkin in the Fungeon calls, I share fun ideas with the items included in the monthly kit, and my customers share their brilliant ideas. I’m always so impressed by what others are making—and I wish I could bottle the joy of these calls to share with you. I love Autumn, so I immediately knew I was going to love the…
Welcome to my Week in Review! Each Sunday, I like to share a quick recap for those who don’t follow along every day—and a little extra behind-the-scenes for those who do. A Week of Outings I’m a real homebody. I typically only leave the house for short walks in the neighborhood, an occasional dinner out or quick trips to the gym or the grocery store. If I don’t have to leave the house, I am…
While Jeremiah and I were in Salt Lake City earlier this month, our sweet niece Ivy turned 6. We called her that night to sing “Happy Birthday” and then celebrated with her in person last night. Who doesn’t love multiple birthday celebrations with multiple opportunities for cake and gifts?! I wanted to make something extra-special for Ivy’s big day, so I tucked this oversized card into her gift bag: Who doesn’t love to see their…
Today I’m sharing a project I created for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Normally, I show you the sketch first and then my project, but I’m flipping things around today. So crazy! I had so much fun with this layout—and I’m excited to share a card that’s filled with Autumn inspiration and a whole lot of thanksgiving. Here’s my card: The Sketch This sketch, designed by Narelle Farrugia, was the inspiration for my project:…
I try to mix things up so I can showcase a variety of products from Stampin’ Up!’s offerings. Sometimes, though, I get hooked on one thing (and I’m not even mad about it because this is such a good thing…). Welcome to Day 3 of projects that feature the Sign Design Bundle. Yay! Here’s the festive and fun card I made to share with you today: The Paper I’ll get to the perfect sentiment in…
Sweet, simple and spooky! I’m excited to share a sweet-and-simple Halloween card with you today! My card combines a modern, sophisticated Designer Series Paper with a fun sentiment and ready-to-add Mix-and-Match elements. So fun! Here’s the card I made to share with you today: The pumpkin, witch hat and spider are all pulled from the Time for Celebration Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, new in Stampin’ Up!’s 2025 Holiday Mini Catalog. I love the variety…
On Sunday I shared a fun picture of the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar from our recent trip to Stampin’ Up!’s headquarters in Salt Lake City. This is an incredible kit that will only be available while supplies last – and NOW is your time to pick one up. Today I’m sharing more pictures of this new product, along with links to my online store so you can pick one up today. I’ve seen…
When I send product shares, kits, or other goodies, I love adding a sweet, simple tag to go along with them. While preparing product shares from the 2025 Holiday Mini Catalog, I reached for the Sign Design Bundle (a new Online Exclusive!) to create this batch of festive tags. Here’s the tag I sent out with the shares: My design took a few different forms (more on that later), but each one started with this…

I have added some bonus content in the summaries below, so I hope you’ll…
