Hello. The sweet folks at Ranger asked me to be part of their Great Pumpkin Challenge. We all started with a plain pumpkin and used Ranger goodies to turn it into a fall decorative piece. Here’s mine… Here’s the scoop: I tore lots of strips of Sticky Back Canvas. White heat embossed Hero Arts images [...]
Hello! Today I am joining my fellow Paper Crafts Go-To Gals for a fun Card Making 101 Blog Hop. I actually didn’t do a card (I broke the rules!), but instead did a video showing how to create a fun paper heart garland. Please forgive the quick video – I was short on time but [...]
A few years ago, owls were all the rage. Remember that? Hero Arts had several adorable owls. I used them lots (and still do) and got a bit of teasing for it from Mr. Tim Holtz. See, I tease him for always creating “dark cloud” projects and he teases me for creating “bags of Skittles” [...]
Hello! Awhile back, I shared the invitations I created for Colin’s 5th birthday… which had a Super Mario bowling theme. (Interesting, huh?) And I am just not getting around to sharing the favors I created for the kids I invited. Bad me. We had quite a few kids at this party as I invited all [...]

Welcome back. I have received many emails from folks asking about the Let Your Heart Shine Frame I did for the Ranger Perfect Pearls CHA Designer Challenge. (You can find more on this challenge HERE.) So, I thought I would share some info about it here. People also have asked what I am going to [...]
Hi! Before sharing some cards, I gotta share with you a few comments people left on my blog yesterday. I had mentioned that I had spent a lot of time with my son on his class Valentines and ignored my cleaning and laundry and such. Many of you left comments relating to this choice I [...]
Hope your day is wonderful. I spent most of this afternoon working on Valentines for Colin’s classmates – love it. Colin and I initially intended to create these together – having him do all the coloring. But after he was up all night with a double ear infection (and 3 hours at an urgent care [...]
Hello! Just got home from our fabulous vacation. I have a lot to catch up on, but wanted to pop in and share a bit. Colin and I are trying to decide what to do for his Valentines this year. In the meantime, I thought I would share here what we did the last two [...]
