Wow! A lot changes in a year! I cannot believe it has been that long since I have posted. We have moved to a storefront since I have last posted! Wow! What a dream come true! It is so much fun doing what I love to do. It doesn't feel like work at all. I confess, it isn't easy to keep up with all the demands of running a storefront, maintaing a full time interpreting position and being wife, mom, grandma and guardian. So unfortunately, the blog tends to get placed on the back burner. But here I am on the cusp of Christmas with a post for you! And guess what?! I have no store links. Nope! This one is just for pure enjoyment. But if you do want to shop, the link is here on the page under my profile when you click the menu lines on the top left of the page. So let's get started! I created the simple form of this gift card holder while live. Here's the link to that video with instructions: https://youtu.be/lvw2dbNONAk Here is a picture of the simple form inside and out:...

Hello everyone! It's been a bit since I posted. It's quite the juggling act to launch a business and hold down another full time job, but I couldn't resist sending some fall inspiration your way! Fall is my favorite season for a number of reasons, but mostly because the air changes and the mood changes and everything seems to shift from a summer, dehydrated brown to vibrant colors. Here in the midwest the change in temperature is welcomed after a long, hot summer. Sweaters and everything pumpkin spice get me in the mood! Not to mention that visits to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard along with bonfires and hayrides are the best memory makers! I love scrapbooking those adventures! But today I have a card that features elements from a variety of companies, but the show stopper is from Sunny Studio Stamps! The Autumn Crisp Stamps and dies are BEAUTIFUL! Here's a peek at what I created... I started out by inking up the background using Pinfresh Studio's Simple P...

Hello there, everyone! This is Donna’s BFF and faithful enabler, Lindy , coming to you today to share a project with you! I created this friendship flip book as a gift to my dear friend and as a way to show off some beautiful products over at Purple Pinky Promises ! All of the products are linked in the description and a full listing of products are provided at the end of this post. The basis of this flip book of sherbet-y, glimmery goodness is the Slim Ornate Banner die from Pinkfresh Studio. Just the large and medium sized dies were used to cut the pages and insets from white cardstock. The last, and largest page is the full length of the largest die. Each successively smaller page was cut to be one inch smaller than the page before. The pages and insets were inked with a brush using Catherine Pooler inks in the colors of Party Dress, Orange Peel, Shea Butter, Seafoam , Juniper Mist and Royal Treatment . For the pages, ink around the edges with your desired color. The insets a...

 Sometimes a sympathy card is difficult to manage. Especially if it is for someone close to you. Today I am featuring some awesome products from an awesome company. Steve and Cindy from Dare 2B Artzy are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Cindy’s designs are absolutely stunning and incredibly meaningful! The Butterflies paper I used for this card is from the Fields of Joy Collection. Her dies coordinate with the paper and cut out some of the butterfly images as well as the stamped butterfly image in the stamp set. If you are not a person that likes to color images, you aren’t confident in your coloring skills, or you just need a quick image without the time and fuss of coloring, this is a coordinating set just for you! It makes card making simple and quick! I’ve included a link to watch how I put this together. Thanks for stopping by and leave me a comment to let me know what you think or just that you stopped by!  Dare 2B Artzy stamps, dies and paper: https://purpl...
