Happy Independence Day to everyone in the USA, and welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop for July! This month, our color combination includes Petal Pink, Poppy Parade, and Smoky Slate. I have to admit that it was a bit of a challenge for me. At first, this combo made me think of Valentine’s Day and I struggled to think what to do with it. It’s definitely not a combination… Read More »

My presentation featured projects designed with the Sweet Candy Canes Bundle and Sweetest Christmas Suite. (Both are in the new July-December Mini Catalog going live on… Read More »

Since I just attended Creativity Now last weekend, an online crafting event for demonstrators, I… Read More »

Welcome to a new TGIF Sketch Challenge! Today’s sketch is one I use quite often, so it wasn’t a big stretch for me. Haha! I think it’s my “go to” sketch. In fact, I frequently need to remind myself to do something different so I’m not too boring. 🙂 Because this sketch is so simple, it leaves a lot to imagination. So, I decided to really dress it up with… Read More »

Unfortunately, right before my plane landed, LMU lost and was out of the tournament. But, we got to spend a… Read More »

It also features the Mountain Air stamps and coordinating Majestic Mountains Dies. Typically, I try to limit scrapbook pages to one or two photos so they aren’t too busy. But more photos can work and I wanted to show an… Read More »

7 Days of Scrapbooking – Day Three. I have to confess that when I was asked to join this event, I thought it would be impossible for me to complete 7 pages in time. I don’t make scrapbook pages that often, so I feel like I’m sort of slow. But I seriously surprised myself. The more I did it, the more fun I had, and the more incentive I got… Read More »
7 Days of Scrapbooking – Day Two. Today, I’m sharing a page featuring the fantastic new He’s The Man Suite Collection and one of my favorite photos of my son. (Thank you Heather Jean Photography!)

But what’s… Read More »

And speaking of new In Colors, Stampin’ Up! has a great offer this month… Read More »
