Clear stamps, clever storage
I’ve had a tough time recently following my knee injury, and many of my friends and family have stepped up to help us. I have been making thank you card as a way to let them know how much I appreciate all their help!
I started with a printed piece of cardstock from Authentique with script… | read more »
Today I’m sharing a card I made for my niece, Erin. The cover photo she uses on her Facebook page inspired me to try my hand at creating a project with flying creatures and shimmery wings. Here’s what I made.

A very very long time ago I visited a craft fair in Wiesbaden Germany and on a ribbon stall they were selling giant wooden cotton reels. My friend and I just looked at each other and said simultaniously, “we have to get one of those”. I had absolutely no idea what I would do with… | read more »
I’ve been thinking for quite some time now about making a journal totally from junk. Junk mail, envelopes, packaging, just about anything goes and as most of us know there’s alot of very pretty packaging out there. I have a chest of drawers in my craft room full of it.
