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 [...]
Custom Wrapping Paper
By: Stephanie Loomis, Artistic Guide and Editor-in-Chief Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It’s the mantra of California living, and is spreading around the US. My brother and sister-in-law are the poster couple for green living (they live in Los Angeles, so it works.) They are expecting their first baby soon, so, rather than wrap a baby gift [...]
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: Christmas in July?
What better time to start those Christmas cards than now? Get a head start and by the time the season arrives, you’ll be prepared and have one less thing to get done. That means………less stress and MORE TIME to craft! I have a little group of ladies who get together at my house one evening [...]
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, [...]
Rubbadubbadoo Rubber Stamps: Stephanie’s view

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 [...]

Weird Holiday: Jumping Frog Jubilee
The “Jumping Frog Jubilee” began in the 1800s at the Calaveras County Fair in the Central Sierra Nevada mountains of California. The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County was penned by a young San Francisco humorist who used the pseudonym Mark Twain. (His given name was Samuel Clemens, but he chose a pen-name that paid [...]
Penny’s Little Black Accent *B2B*
Continuing with our “Back to Basics” theme in 2010, I would like to talk about the “Little Black Accent.” A dear friend of mine, Betty, makes beautiful cards and there was something neat about them. I couldn’t put my finger on it. I just thought about how much I liked what she made. Later on, [...]
Recycled Baby Wipes package lid card
It’s one of those crafter things: “I know I can use this for something, so I’ll put it away for later.” That was my thought about the lids of those Baby Wipe packages. I decided to see how they would work for a card and this is what I came up with. I hope you [...]

Scenic Stairsteps, A Lesson in Thinking Outside the Box
Thinking outside the box is not something I do well. What can you expect from someone who worked with numbers most of her life? Left brain, right brain, definitely more left…um, I think. And then, some may say no brains at all. But I digress… I was looking for inspiration for a great birthday card [...]
