Its all about the mittens….
I admit – I’m a mitten fan. I even have a pair of red ones! I know – gloves are so much more practical, but I love my mittens anyway (much better for making snowballs!). When I saw the current challenge over at the Impression Obsession blog – make something inspired by the song “My Favorite Things” from the Sound of Music (cue Julie Andrews!), I knew right away which stamp to use! I love this mitten stamp. I made my mittens red with Copics and colored...

Read MoreA Little Summer Break
We are taking a little family summer break. We are planning a few fun trips, a few family visits - and maybe tackle a few of those projects that have been hanging around the house forever! Possibly a trip to the beach is in order. I will be around to answer e-mail (and maybe sneak in a blog post or two…). But… Any orders placed in the store after Sunday, July 25 won’t be shipped until Monday, August 9th. I hope this is not too much of an inconvenience. I’ve...
Read MoreCan we have a cup of coffee and a chat?
Well…. it has to be virtual coffee…. So here is my cup of Joe, using the IO Latte Cup cling stamp and Basic Grey Koshi papers. I love this stamp. It was the one that introduced me to Leigh Hannan’s designs over at IO – and now I’m addicted (to the stamps and to coffee I think…) And that chat…. If you are one of my 4 regular blog visitors (Hi Mom!!), you might have noticed a distinct lack of posting recently. There are a mix of reasons. I hurt my...
Read MoreSpring is in the air….
I fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it! I just love how cheerful and springy it is. This is a cling stamp called Thistle Carden. I colored it with copic markers. I also added some copic glitter pen but its hard to see in the picture. The lacy border at the bottom was made with the Lace Heart edger punch – but covered the top part of the hearts. (The paper is from my stash – I think its from WR Memory Keepers??) I hope everyone is having a great week. It...
