I’m “dipping” into Lily Pond Lane today. It’s my first time to even take a close look at this fun pack of paper! It’s a 6″x 6″ pad and one thing I love about it is that most of the sheets have a back side that pairs perfectly with the…
Yay, our new Catalog is up and running! I’m sure, if you follow other blogs, you have heard that our 2024-25 Annual Catalog went live yesterday. If you haven’t seen a catalog yet, I have a digital copy on the right side bar of my blog. If you are reading…
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Sale-A-Bration. We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.…
We are starting November off with a sketch challenge! I love this sketch! I decided to go very monochromatic on this one, since my last few cards have been very colorful. I’m calling it Fawn in the Woods. It features the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.…
I’m sending Inked Botanicals on a card to say hello (obviously!) This is a great pairing ~ Inked Botanicals and the Sending Smiles bundle. I’m eagerly awaiting my Inked & Tiled Stamp Set to arrive, but these really look like they were made to go together. I’m also attempting to…
Greetings! Today we have a color challenge at Create with Connie & Mary ~ Boho Blue/Copper Clay/ Basic White. Two of our new In Colors that are so pretty together! I’ve pulled out another sheet from Fresh As A Daisy (I love this paper!) to send “a little hello!” Here…
I’m entering the Tic, Tac, Toe Challenge this week with a cheerful wreath-clad window! Here is the challenge board ~ I went with the middle, horizontal row: Design Paper, Scoring, and Wreath. Stampin’ Up! is gearing up for the new Annual Catalog, beginning May 2, 2023. Whenever a new catalog…

We’re back with another Thursday sketch challenge at Create With Connie & Mary! This is a great sketch that will lend itself to many different ideas. I chose this sweet Designer Series Paper that just makes me smile 🙂 Well, Hello, Happy Forest Friends! Isn’t it cute? This would make…
It’s a Sketch Challenge for CASEing Coast to Coast this month! Rosanne Mulhern from Pennsylvania and I, a California girl, collaborate once a month in our blogs to bring you a couple of different takes on similar designs. This month was Rosanne’s turn to pick a theme or card to…
While on the islands in Greece, we saw lots of cats! Mostly feral, I think, but they were pretty tame – or just used to tourists handing them snacks! You cannot sit and enjoy a fish meal without a little buddy sitting at your feet in anticipation of a handout. The…
I don’t know if the flowers in this Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper are poppies, but they look a bit like them, so I’m going with it and pairing it with Poppy Moments Dies! This beautiful red poppy is actually two colors, but they are very similar so you might…
Wow, May already!!! I’m always surprised by how fast time goes by. When this goes to publishing, I’ll be exploring Greece! But thanks to technology, these weekly posts should come off without a hitch (fingers crossed!) My friend and I have been planning this trip since before Covid, and have…
Is it a card? Is it an envelope? Well, actually it’s a card to look like an envelope! I’m using the Sale-a-bration double item, Friendly Hello Stamp Set + Designer Series Paper to decorate my “envelope” card. Isn’t this a fun design? Basic Borders Dies provided the “envelope” flap. I…
Pick a daffodil from the garden! I used the Sale-a-bration designer paper, Daffodil Afternoon, for the background on this happy Spring card. You can get this paper FREE with a purchase of any current Stampin’ Up! products of $50 or more. It’s a full pack of DSP, 12 sheets of…
