Welcome to my Stamping Blog

Dear Friends,At this time of year, I wish you a most blessed Easter. I finally finished 2 projects (1 fun, another to commemorate the true spirit of this holiday!) that I wanted to share with you today.This is a container (I bought the tutorial from Inking Idaho last year!) that holds 4 of the mini milk cartons that use the Sizzix Milk Carton Die from Stampin' Up. I filled each one (4 colors, 4 different Easter candy treats!) to the top with fun candy, and then decorated the cartons with my...

Hi y'all!I'm back again, only quickly, to share some Easter projects with you. Sorry for the photo quality!

I made a quick card and thought I'd share that with you. Tomorrow I hope to...

Today, we remember our veterans -- those that have died for our country, or have given tremendous sacrifices to fight and protect our freedom. My prayer is for peace, and my card, although not specifically red, white and blue, speaks of this and looks for peace. This is actually last week's Blogger's Challenge -- a patriotic theme. Although I finished it early in the week, I didn't find time to post until today.Below, you will see some close-up photos of the card. I used Crystal Effects on the...

My last project that I shared on the Royal Blog Tour featuring the stamp set Sweet Season is an absolutely adorable Christmas Tree ornament! *(YILMP! see below for the "interpretation"!) This is larger than the Milk Carton die that Stampin' Up! sells, and it has a great detail that I absolutely love about it! I purchased the tutorial for this milk carton from Becky Roberts at Inking Idaho, probably two years ago, and I use it consistently.(* YILMP is adapted from Janine Tinklenberg's (Stamps,...
