Today is the creme center between two delicious, crunchy chocolate cookies – yesterday was New Year’s Day, and tomorrow marks the release of Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Occasions Catalog and the kick-off of Sale-a-Bration. Today is just an ordinary day, but we need days like that, right? I’m sharing a super-sweet card I made with several items from Stampin’ Up!’s True Gentleman Suite, certain to be one of the most popular in the new catalog. Here’s…
Happy New Year’s Day! Did you stay out late last night to ring in the new year? I did not – I’m waking up this morning feeling refreshed and rested because I went to bed before the New Year arrived. No worries – I have all of the celebration saved on my DVR and can enjoy the excitement as many times as I’d like. 🙂 I really love this time of year. We enter a…
I love this time of year – when we can look back at all the wonderful things that happened during the last 365 days and contemplate ways to make next year even better.

Today, I’m going to share some of my favorite projects from 2017 (this day deserves a parade), but first I’m going to share some…
Today I’m sharing a sweet-and-simple card that’s made with the Petal Passions Memories & More Card Kit, part of the over-the-top-gorgeous Petal Passion Suite in Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Occasions Catalog.

I used two Petal Passion Memories & More cards on this project – the Powder Pink…

Before I share today’s project for CAS(E) This Sketch, I want to give a hearty “thank you” to the design team for selecting my Petal Palette thank you card as a CTS Favorite last week – you can see that project here. Online challenges always give me a great starting point for a project – I love that! I never expect to win a challenge, but it’s always wonderful to be recognized. Thanks so much!…

While I was in Charleston, South Carolina this past week visiting Mom for Christmas, I was able to get in a little bit of crafting time with Michelle Ratliff and Barbara Moody, my friends who live in Goose Creek. While they worked on projects with the Barn Door Bundle from the 2018 Occasions Catalog, I mindlessly (and happily) colored and assembled cards from the Lots of Happy Card Kit. Here is a quick picture of…
