Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!!  It is crazy how fast time is flying by.  Lots of changes happening, I recently got engaged (yay me!), so once again, my blog has fell to the side. 

I've updated the list of PDF inserts I've created.  The new occasions mini catalog & sale-a-bration catalogs should be coming out soon.  So those will be next on my list.  I've been spending a lot of time working on stamp set inserts for all of you wonderful customers.  It's been fun seeing all the stamp sets that I've forgotten about over the years. 

All of my craft room supplies are boxed up in a storage unit right now.  We're hoping to sell our current home (a little condo) and move into a home with a yard and some privacy.  So posting craft projects will be slim.  Before boxing everything up, I used an retired simply scrappin' kit I found for Christmas cards this year and birthday cards.  Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of all the cards together.  But I surely love those kits!  I've still got 1/2 a kit of each, so when I make the rest, I'll be sure to take a picture first BEFORE mailing any out.  ;) 

I hope you are all well and ready for this new year!!!!

Imagine The Possibilities

Imagine the possibilities!!

I've always loved the stamp set Eastern Blooms, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to sell it.  Add a little bling and you've got a bright fun card!!

Birthdays :)

Sometimes I think about sitting down and making a bunch of birthday cards (using the one-sheet-wonder method) for the entire year of birthdays I send cards for.  But after all these years I still haven't.  

Would it be simpler?  Yes.

Would it be quicker?  Yes.

Would it be as personal?  No, I don't think so.  

I may still break down and do this for next year, since my new year's resolution was to have birthday cards sent BEFORE their birthday.  I've done...okay...but haven't succeeded every time.  But when I look at the personalized cards I made for someone, I just think...this card is "them".  

Below are a few birthday cards I've made, sorry the first one is kind of blurry.  Enjoy!!

PDF Inserts Updated!!!

Wow!!!  I have been so blessed with orders that keeping my blog up to date has been impossible.  You all rock!!!

I now have my list of available PDF inserts updated, but if there is something you need that isn't listed, don't hesitate to ask me.

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer!!!

I'm always looking for inspiration in my card making, wood crafts, etc.  If you haven't found Pinterest....I'm not sure how to respond to that.  ;)  But really, it is an amazing place with ideas for EVERYTHING!!

Okay, I don't know about you, but I just realized that Christmas is 6 weeks away.  S I X  W E E K S!!!  How is your holiday to-do list coming along?  Me...I haven't even started.  EEK!!!

This is card I made last year, and I just loved how it turned out.  I found many different styles on Pinterest, so its hard to give credit to just one for the inspiration.  But please note, this isn't my original idea.  I tweaked it for my style, as I always do.

Almost all of the supplies I used are now retired, but I can't get rid of them.  I still use them and love them all.  I'll try to list the supplies as accurately as I can for you below.

All supplies from Stampin' Up! (most are now retired)

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, Silver Glimmer Paper

Stamps: Believe (Snowflake Soiree Stamp Set), Some Things Have To Be Believed To Be Seen (On inside of card, Just Believe Stamp Set)

Embellishments: Glimmer Brads (Black)

Tools: Dotted Scallop Border Punch, Texturz Backgrounds #1, Big Shot

Stamp Set Inserts Added To List

Don't see a particular stamp set listed that you need an insert for?  I can make an insert for it.  I started my list with what inserts I needed for my stash.  As people have asked me for other stamp sets, I've added them to my list.  So if there is a stamp set, or multiple stamp sets you need, and don't see them listed.  ASK!!  If I am making an insert for a SU! stamp set, the price is 6 files for $3.50.  These are not considered custom inserts.  So don't hesitate to get your craft room organized and updated with inserts to show what you have.  I'm always happy to help.  I look forward to hearing from you!!
