Welcome to my Stamping Blog
For ideas, inspiration and tutorialsSomething Old, Something New …
You know the old wedding addage ... "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue!". Well, I adhered to all of those rules for today's card.Don't you just love the colors? I especially love my favorite color, both ink and paper, Blueberry Bushel, retiring soon! I knew the day was coming, and mourned it's passing already last year with the introduction of LAST year's in colors! I made this card for a friend's grandmother...
Let’s do the hinge step!
That was the title of last week's FB live, featuring the Stamparatus. I showed a few cards I made with the Stamparatus, and shared a few tips and tricks too! It was well received, so check it out on FB if you have a minute!In the meantime, I thought I'd share one of the cards I featured: "Little Ladybug Does The Hinge Step!" No, the ladybugs aren't actually dancing ... although I think they could if they tried! Instead, I chose the Happy Birthday sentiment....
Purple Poppies!
One afternoon, a week or two ago, I had time to play in my stamping studio. Yes, I had fun, and no, I had no idea what I wanted to do!

I had a One-Day retreat last weekend, here in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. Luckily the weather held up for is, dropping several inches of wet snow only in the last hour or so. It's very hard to transport paper and paper crafts through a wet mess! LOL!Anyway, I wanted to share a class that I developed for the event: the "Bee Happy" Wall Organizer. My New Year's resolutions were many, but they started out with organization. (Best of all, I didn't write any down...
“In the meadow we can build a snowman …” and Junior!
I had so much fun creating this fun little gift card! Have you seen Snowman Season in the Holiday Catalog?! Have you played with the matching Snowman Builder Punch?! So cute!This little gift card features a small strip of the Brightly Gleaming DSP, topped with just a smidge (just a dab 'll do ya!) of Puff Paint! I stamped two snowmen, and cut the base off of one to create Junior! Then, all that was left to do was decorate ... uh, dress my snowmen! Oh yes, and the...
