Roses and pinecones…it reminds me of a lovely Christmas bouquet or centerpiece. And the geometric pattern from the paper turns this floral image into a classic. The floral image from the Christmas Rose Stamp Set is quite large and detailed. I really wanted to make sure I got a good crisp image, so I used my Stamparatus. And boy am I glad I did!

Wednesday nights are yoga nights. Some weeks I’m excited to attend, and others, like last night, you almost have to drag me there. Kicking and screaming (metaphorically, of course), I went last night and it was hard! I mean, really hard. The instructor’s mantra all night was, “How much is enough?” And I kept wanting to…
Simple yet elegant. Today’s card is a great example of #SimpleStamping using the Christmas Rose Stamp Set and Christmastime is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper. A quick sentiment on the front with festive font, and on the inside, a few pine boughs in the top left and bottom right corner.
I seriously love this card. Pinecones and snowflakes. It reminds me of the white Christmases from home. This card says, “Christmastime is Here” to me.
Christmastime is here! Well, at least it is for crafters. And look what’s arrived right in time for your holiday crafting. The Christmastime is Here Suite arrived just in time for last week’s retreat, but I didn’t get a chance to use it. Today though, I spent all day crafting and working with this beautiful…
It was so good to craft with you live today. After being in Facebook Jail all week, I didn’t know if I could do a Facebook Live video for you today. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised, dare I say shocked, to find out that I could do so without a single problem.
Whether you call it fall or autumn, one thing’s for certain…the colors are magnificent! Due to late summer/early fall drought, I doubt we’ll see many colors here in NC this year. So…let’s craft something pretty using fall colors. Introducing my fall color challenge!
Sometimes, weekends are for catching up and sometimes, they’re about getting ahead. This last weekend at retreat was definitely a “catch up” weekend. I wrote tutorials for classes and clubs and designed this Christmas Gleaming sampler for September’s Christmas Card Club. I wasn’t really that far behind. I’d had to mail out the September Christmas…
After months of planning and preparation, the 2019 holiday Stamping in the Mountains Retreat is finally over. Goodie bags were passed out, cards, candles, frames, and memory albums were created. But best of all, memories were made with old friends and new.
I’m home and happy to say that the Stamping in the Mountains Retreat was a HUGE success. With 22 women (and a few husbands), we spent the whole weekend crafting, laughing, and eating in the mountains. Being in charge of the weekend, I don’t normally have a lot of time to craft. But this time,…
My dear friend, and fellow Stamping Bee, is a breast cancer survivor. I met Britton Banning-Arndt last January. A survivor of an extremely rare form of breast cancer, she’s one of the bravest, most courageous women I know. So when she came to me about holding a fundraiser for the UNC Lineberger Cancer Center, I jumped at…
