You should have seen my face when I read the Creative Crew challenge! I need to make a mini-album out of WHAT? You have got to be kidding me? TOILET PAPER ROLLS? How in the world can you make a TP roll look, well, nice?? Of course, I am sure that they thought this ...
Daydream Medallions sure packs a punch! I absolutely love the raised layers made with the coordinating framelits. I am entering this card into the Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge this week. It's a very fun sketch so get into your craft room and play ...
I Like you! Of course, I really DO like you but that's the name of a new hostess stamp set and it is so pretty, don't you think? This card is my very first attempt using the Blendabilities so you can see that you can make a beautiful card with no experience! I ...
The Stampin' Up! demonstrators who coordinate the Splitcoaststampers Creative Crew are such a great group and they sure know how to keep me on my toes! This week's challenge was: "DSP/Color Focus: daffodil delight, island indigo, gumball green, smoky slate - Use a ...
This is probably my favorite stamp set ever! Simply Sketched is a classic to me - it can be left stamped or watercolored, heat embossed, fussy cut - you name it, it will look great! I am so sorry that it is leaving Stampin' Up! but I doubt I will ever be able to ...

Welcome to the May Pals Blog Hop. This is the first hop on our new day - the 2nd Wednesday of the month. Before we celebrate the release of the new Stampin' Up! catalog next month, we want to take time to say goodbye to our favorite retiring products. This month ...
It's a beautiful day in Michigan and on top of that, Mother's Day is in full swing. My family doesn't make a big occasion out of any holiday but Mother's Day does not go unnoticed and for that I am grateful! Today will be breakfast in bed and then an early and ...
Mother's Day is this Sunday! It's always a special day in my house. I always get woken up to breakfast in bed and a wonderful cup of coffee. As I try to focus my eyes, I read the wonderful cards that my two beautiful kids and fantastic husband have chosen to ...
It's baby season, have you noticed? I cannot believe how many women are expecting right now. If you are in the situation of needing to make a really special baby card, the Baby We've Grown stamp set from the Celebrate the Everyday catalog is the perfect set to ...

Welcome!
It's the Families First Pals Blog Hop for April 2017. We appreciate you stopping by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are featuring projects that are all about our families. This is a great time of year to think about ...

We had so much fun with the great sketch challenge and the gallery had wonderful inspiration to show for it! Our next challenge is "baby, baby! - use baby critters on your card," which is my favorite type of challenge, because you can really be creative. ...

I gave myself some craft therapy (and even some craft retail therapy) over the last couple of weeks and April was a great month to do it. It is a busy birthday month for me so I had a great time thinking of those people I love and making them a birthday card. ...

I have been making up for lost time in my craft room this weekend. Life sometimes has a way of throwing a curve ball at you just to make sure you're not taking anything for granted. My craft room has given me the therapy I needed and you will see some of it in the ...

First, I have to say that we got the greatest cards for our last challenge! If you haven't seen them, I hope you will hop by the Retro Rubber blog to see them all. The design team had such a hard time choosing ONLY five Top Pick cards! Now we have a ...

It's apparently baby season in my area because I have three baby cards that needed to be made pronto! I have two to show you today and the third will be posted next Tuesday. Moon Baby is a stamp set in the Occasions Catalog and I just received it in my last order. ...
