I’m sure we’ve all had someone lend a hand or offer to help out at just the perfect time, right? Like the neighbor that shows up just when you need them, or the friend who’s right by your side when life gets a bit tough. And sometimes you want to offer a little more than…
Hello friends! Summer, also known as my “brightly colored project” season, is almost here! I have another quilling idea for you today – but it’s a little trickier than my last post with quillwork. I didn’t want to add in too many flowers on this one since the central piece takes a bit more time…

Some days you just need to remember to breathe…. A special friend recently went through a difficult time, so I created this to remind her to just “breathe”. I started with Pop-Tone Cardstock in Razzleberry (my favorite), Cotton Candy, and Pink Lemonade. I stamped and die cut the Classic Roses from Heartfelt Creations. I inked the…
Oh nelly, today is the SECOND day of summer break at our house, and I’m in the “adjustment period” – the first week (or two!) of getting used to having the kiddos at home. It’s a bit stressful, so yesterday while the boys were at a short camp, I decided to do some watercolor painting…
We just got done with school for the summer. The end of the year is always crazy busy but we like to treat teachers to little treat during teacher appreciation week. This box is perfect for a few little pieces of candy. I really think the presentation is just as important as the little gift….

Here’s one of them. By using the Pop-Tone card stock it made these cards come together quickly. Better yet, it’s on sale…
I saw a really great Pinterest post for a photo backdrop using faux boxwood plants and silk flowers and thought it would be perfect for my best friends bridal shower and wedding, but decided to go with paper flowers instead of silk. I have seen so many posts on Instagram about paper flowers and templates…
As the school year comes to an end, it’s nice to send some good cheer to our hard-working teachers. My project today, features a card with a coordinating envelope that is perfect to pair with those end of the year mugs and gift cards. I started off with a 5×7″ notecard created with Basis Cardstock…
Every once in a while we have a project that’s too good to only share just once! Today we are revisiting some envelope art created by the super talented Annie… If your dad is anything like mine, he’s happy with a card made of printer paper and a handwritten sentiment…but that doesn’t mean you can’t…
Happy Friday my crafty friends! Father’s Day is around the corner. Let’s make some cards to celebrate the important fathers in our lives. I start off by choosing a few masculine colors from my Basis cardstock collection. By the way, this cardstock is on sale this month at Cutcardstock. Prepare the cardstock into A2-sized note…
Happy Wednesday friends! We are getting down to the nitty-gritty last days of school. It’s always a chaotic and emotional time of year for me.
