A Reflection
I don’t know about you, but September rolls around faster every year for me. When the kids go back to school, I like to take time to reflect about the summer and plan toward the holidays that I know will sneak up on me. This year, however, school started in August, so I’m a bit [...]

Crafter’s Companion: Linda’s View
Today Popcorn is celebrating a friend’s birthday. Wrapping all those presents makes him really tired…take a look at what happens during his day. The stamps I received for this challenge were both birthday bear sets, and how cute they are. These are the stamps I received: Making these cards was loads of fun! Here are [...]
Feeling “Owl” Over the Place
August is one of those transition months where life is all turned outside in. It’s still summer (and here in Georgia, that means hot and humid) but the stores are full of Fall–and even Christmas! My daughters go back to school August 5 (isn’t that unconstitutional or immoral or something?) and there are days I’m [...]

Inside Out with Silhouette
Finished card size: A2 (4.25″ x 5.5″) I love my Silhouette Personal Die Cutter. I know a lot of people swear by the Cricut, but I love the versatility of a machine that lets me create my own designs, cuts any TruType font, AND has inexpensive downloads as an option. I have the original machine, [...]
Inspiration
It’s midsummer in the northern hemisphere, and midwinter in the southern. A friend of mine in Denmark recently shared photos of the midnight sun. Watching the World Cup, I couldn’t help but notice the heavy coats and the blustery rain. Here in the Southern United States, it’s hot and humid–more so than usual. Extremes tend [...]
Rubbadubbadoo Rubber Stamps: Stephanie’s view
Note to self: never ask the Publisher which card to write up with detailed instructions. She’ll choose the most complicated one–and the one with no step-by-step photos! So, hang on, readers……it could be an adventure! First you’ll need to do some digging in [...]

A Summer’s Respite
I don’t know about you, but May is a crazy, busy month for me. Two birthdays, Mother’s Day, end-of-school year activities, camp preparations, finals, banquets–it seems like May comes and goes without a moment to breathe. June, then, comes as a relief for me. I have fewer deadlines, no birthdays, and time to catch up [...]
The Standards: My Blood Type is Coffee
Finished Card Size: 6″ x 3″ This card uses nothing but scraps and stamps and my Quick Kutz Silhouette.

Supplies: Stamps: “My Blood [...]

Happy National Loomis Day!
What a delightful month is the month of May! I learned that May 30 is National Loomis Day, so my family will celebrate!! The holiday recognizes Mahlon Loomis, of Washington D.C., who received a patent for his wire-free telegraph on that day in 1872. Most people, however, recognize May as a month of color–spring flowers [...]
Sweet Pea Stamps: Stephanie’s View *B2B*

Supplies: Stamps: ©ching-chou kuik Bamboo Serenade image (Sweet Pea Stamps ) Paper: White Cardstock (source unknown) [...]
Sue T.’s Valentine’s Day Series: Day Three
OK !! Not all Valentine’s have to be red or pink. We can try to shake it up a bit! One of my staff asked me to make a card for her 15 year old son- guitar hero extraordinaire! I was sure he wouldn’t like a red or pink card. Here is nontraditional [...]
