Here is my Valentine theme February month view decorate video. I had alot of fun with it. Hub says it is a bit over the top. I did add gold and white gel pen doodles which is in the above article pic close up. The black washi tape I discuss in the video is listed in the supplies and is called "Pick A Pattern Washi Tape" which comes with five different types of black washi tapes. Video Length...
Life right now is pretty much in Limbo. We await the finalization of all of our insurance claims. Of course even in limbo, "stuff" happens and I have a story to share. My mom has a 3/4 ton truck she doesn't use often. It is primarily used for hauling her horses.
We came and picked it up and from the get go I noticed it stayed very cold and didn't hear the heater fan. By day three I...
I never did organize my cardstock before our accident. It was a mish mash of cardstock from a big box store with a few SU pieces at one end. Watch my video on what I am doing this time around with my new Stampin' Up! cardstock inventory. It is time to get my cardstock organized! Video length 6 min. 28 sec.
This week's Creative Cat Crew Color challenge was fun. I used the challenge colors, but integrated the project into a larger alternatives video for the new coloring kit Lots Of Happy Card kit from the Occasions catalog. This weeks colors were: Pacific Point, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic Grey. Here is the inspiration image: ...
I held off on creating the alternatives until I was able to raid Libby's stash. Even after the raid, I felt a bit limited of course, but I managed to triple my completed card stash from 2 to 6 completed cards and 5 of them are Birthday cards. It was a fun challenge to figure out clever ways to make finished looking cards with what I had on hand. Video Length 17 min. 56 sec.
I received a swap card that was a very nice focal but the base it was put on did not work well, so I took off the focal element and had this green and yellow gate fold base floating around in my stash since, oh last July. I bought the stamp set All The Good Things during the one day 30th birthday sale because I liked the color management that the DistINKtive style of production creates....
Having so few supplies really makes one think outside the box. When I was narrowing down what type of card to make my father-in-law for his birthday, the stamp set I chose was an easy choice. I think I own 12 sets of stamps and only so many of them are masculine birthday "capable".
I went with the Waterfront stamp set from the Occasions catalog. Then I thought of the cool plaid DSP that...

My first Stampin' Up! re-stocking order has arrived! I sent it ahead of us to my mom's and it actually arrived the day after we got into town. I am not set up to video yet but was determined to capture this once in a lifetime moment. I am not sure what the statistic is of people who lose everything and get to start over with a clean slate.
Certainly in my crafting world I have learned a...
I finally gathered just enough supplies to finish a project. I made a birthday card for this week's Creative Cat Crew color challenge #40. Colors for this challenge are: Sweet Sugarplum, Powder Pink, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I used a stamp set from the new Occasions catalog "Southern Serenade".
I currently have very little space for supplies as we are staying at my in...
