This time of year is a bit of a whirlwind of holidays for our family – all three of our birthdays, and our wedding anniversary, take place within less than a month. That keeps me busy making cards! So I thought I’d share with my readers a copy of the card that I designed to [...]
Transitions
April 11, 2012 by
For what seems like the umpteenth time in the last two years, our family is undergoing a major transition.

April 9, 2012 by
As I’ve mentioned in a previous post about a card I made for my husband, for the past 15 months I’ve not been able to mail him anything that had glued layers on it (or really any attached layers at all). As a scrapbooker who likes to make cards, this has been challenging. Or at [...]

Behind the Scenes at CHA Winter 2012
February 25, 2012 by
I always get lots of questions about what it’s like to attend the Craft & Hobby Association trade shows. So I thought I’d take some time and give you a peek behind the curtain at my life during my trip to the recent CHA show in Anaheim, California. The primary word that comes to mind [...]

February 25, 2012 by
I seem to spend so much time lately just in awe of my little girl. If you follow me on Twitter or listen to Paperclipping Roundtable, you may have picked up bits and pieces of the fact that our family is facing yet another new challenge in the past few months (and I also mentioned [...]
My CHA Winter 2012 Favorites
February 6, 2012 by
Walking the floor at CHA always is exciting and frustrating at the same time. It’s exciting to see all of the new products that will be coming out for my future creative play. But it’s often frustrating as I see more products and inspiration than I know that I will ever have time to use, [...]
