Hello Friends and welcome to the October 2024 Color Fusers Blog Hop. This month, our color combo includes Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, and Wild Wheat. It’s a combo I never would have thought of myself, but I ended up loving it! It feels very “Fall” with the warm orange and yellow tones. And to my delight, I discovered that there was a sheet of Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Papers (DSP)… Read More »
I have a new online class featuring the Changing Leaves Bundle. The class will be held via Zoom on Thursday and Friday, October 17-18, 2024 at 6:00 PM PDT. (We’ll make two different cards each evening for a total of four.) This is such a great bundle! The detailed images are gorgeous and the dies include great sentiment labels. My class will show multiple ways to stamp, color, and emboss… Read More »
Hi Friends! I wanted to give you an update on the Changing Leaves Bundle Online Class. The class is complete and ready to go. I’ve even cut up the supply packets. Unfortunately, I just checked Stampin’ Up!s Inventory Status Report again, and it now says the Changing Leaves Bundle isn’t expected to be back in stock until the week of October 7th. (That’s the fourth time the date has changed.)… Read More »
Happy Friday Friends! It’s time for a new TGIF Challenge. This week, we have the inspiration below. While it includes Fall colors, I decided to get a jump on my Christmas cards and gave it a holiday twist. There’s a lot going on in the picture, but the main elements I picked out were flowers, birds, and circular shapes in a collage. For my card, I used the Winterly Tree… Read More »
This month, our theme for Stampin’ Fancy Friday is Earth Tones. Now that’s something fun and different. I was pretty excited about this for a couple reasons. First, I think neutrals are seriously underrated, because I’ve see some gorgeous projects lately. Second, I have LOTS of guy birthday cards to make for September, so the timing is perfect! To see all the designers’ projects, keep an eye on the Stampin’… Read More »

Welcome to the September Stamping Sunday Blog Hop. This month, our theme is Unfold Funfolds. I have to admit that I don’t make fun fold cards very often, and they intimidate me a little. Lately, I’ve tried to push myself to create more and even focused a whole class on them a few months ago. I recently saw a video by Stampin’ Up! CEO Sara Douglass who demonstrated a couple… Read More »
Hi Friends! I’m a day late, but here’s my TGIF Challenge for this week. We have a sketch challenge that’s so cute!!! I love the background idea! I just got home from an AMAZING two week vacation in France and London with my daughter. That’s why I’m a tad late in finishing my card. I got home late Sunday night and have been busy all week trying to catch up… Read More »
Happy Friday! It’s time for a new TGIF Challenge and this week, our theme is “Let’s Go Shopping!” It’s a broad theme that could include any type of shopping. Stampin’ Up! has several market-themed products that could work, or a gift card would also work. I interpreted the theme as grocery shopping, based on the photo below, and picked the Simply Sparkling Bundle (an Online Exclusive.) The Simply Sparkling Bundle… Read More »
Hi Stamping Friends! I wanted to write a quick note about my next online class. I know it’s been a while … we’ve been enjoying Summer vacations and there’s still one more to come. As a result, my prep work has been delayed. I have three of the four class projects designed and ready to go, so an official announcement will come shortly after I return September 9th. My next… Read More »
Welcome to the August Stamping Sunday Blog Hop. This month, our theme is Joyful Moments & Timeless Treasures. That’s right, we’re celebrating memory keeping including scrapbooks, mini albums, Memories & More, or any other method of documenting precious moments! I’ve always loved scrapbooking, especially when my kids were small. I have lots of albums, and it brings me so much joy to browse through them or see my kids doing… Read More »
Happy Friday! For this week’s TGIF Challenge, we are focusing on “Back To School”. While I don’t have school age kids anymore, I do remember how important it is to have teacher thank yous on hand. Teachers play such an important role in our kids’ lives, and I believe it’s important to let them know they’re appreciated for all their hard work and thoughtful actions. I decided to decorate a… Read More »
This month, our theme for Stampin’ Fancy Friday is celebrations. I decided to make an anniversary card for my sister and brother-in-law who are celebrating 42 years of marriage!!!

Happy August Everyone! TGIF Challenges has a beautiful color challenge to start off the month, including Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight. Those colors made me think of flowers and the Unbounded Beauty Suite Collection starting on page 52 of the Annual Catalog. It’s a suite that immediately caught my eye, but I haven’t used enough yet! To jump start my project, I turned to page 22 of… Read More »

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop for July 2024. This month, our theme is Kaleidoscopic Depths — colors from under the sea. Our focus is on color and where we draw inspiration. When I think of the sea, I think of snorkeling and scuba diving. Some of my fondest memories are from trips to Hawaii, Tahiti, Turks & Caicos, and Cancun swimming in the ocean depths with brightly colored… Read More »
It’s Friday, and that means a new TGIF Challenge! This week, our theme is Christmas in July! It’s sooo hard for me to think of Christmas already. I LOVE Summer and the warm weather, even when it’s super hot like it has been lately. My pool was 91 degrees the other day when I went out to swim laps – heated only by the sun. Ha, while that’s not exactly… Read More »
