Unfortunately I've had to make a few get well/feel better cards recently. I enjoyed making them but wish that the recipients didn't have a reason to need a get well card. But hopefully these cards will bring them a little joy! The first card uses stamps from the June and July Simon Says Stamp ... View Post
Jumping on the vinyl art bandwagon…
Pinterest is so addictive...I have pinned countless tutorials and examples of vinyl wall art or vinyl canvas art but have always been afraid to try it myself. My Silhouette Cameo and I have a tenuous relationship that I wasn't quite ready to challenge. I used to own a Cricut Expression 2 and it ... View Post
Craft Room Reveal (pt. 3)
So here's the final stop on the craft room tour! You can find the first two posts here and here! We're picking up at the Expedit shelving unit. I purchased the 4x4 unit. It was not the most enjoyable piece of IKEA furniture to assemble but it was well worth it. I also purchased several IKEA ... View Post

Then add in Tuesday's trip to the drive-in until 1:15 AM (and we left early...Transformers 4 was NOT a ... View Post

In our new house the majority of our main living space is on the top floor; but there is one room that gives my kitchen a run for the money as my favorite spot: my craft room! I've enjoyed ...

The card that almost killed me…not really…well maybe…
So yesterday I finished the masking cards and decided to try doing a freehand background wash with watercolors. I'm a fan of blues so I thought I'd try blending various shades using the Hero Arts watercolor wheel. While the paper was drying I pulled out a few birthday cards that I need to deliver ... View Post
