Video: Studio Calico + Shadow Inks… and Kit Giveaway
Hey there, fellow addicted stampers. I just wanted to share a video I did for Studio Calico. I used their awesome March kits, along with Hero Arts Soft Shadow Inks and Mid-Tone Shadow Inks. Here is the video… Here is the layout. A giant photo of pregnant me in the water. Boy do I wish [...]
Studio Calico Video
Hello! I wanted to share with you a video I created for Studio Calico. It shows using stamps in a not-so-normal-way and covering wood accents. (Each month, I will be doing two videos for them – one using their online kits and one using their products sold in stores.) I adore using these kits. For [...]
Resist Layout
Hello! I am in full recovery mode right now… trying to recover from the whirlwind of Stampaway! I love that this show is in my neck of the woods and that I get to see many of the same stampers year after year. My Shari was in town staying with us so we could teach [...]

Scrapbooking? What is that?!
Hi! Hope you all had a good weekend. Did a ton of catching up and a bit of falling behind. Seems that is the way it works. Thought I would share a few old scrapbook pages for kicks. This one was in a CK article on coloring. Those hearts are embossed with embossing folders and [...]
Sometimes you heart skips a beat…
…when you stumble upon an old scrapbook page filled with favorite photos from years ago… Boy. What a great feeling that is. (And yes, I have always loved buttons.) (And yes, this makes me want another baby.) Happy day.
