Next month I’ll be celebrating 10 years as an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. Of course I’ve been papercrafting for even longer than that. However all my experience doesn’t stop me making rookie mistakes. This is exactly what happened this morning as I designed a Christmas card using the Joy To You Stamp Set. Despite my inevitable frustration, like most cardmaking mistakes this one was fixable. It just took a little patience and the spatula attachment on my trusty Take Your Pick Tool. ... VIEW POST
Winter Meadow News
Now I’ve scared everyone with a reminder of how quickly Christmas is approaching it’s time to set that aside for a while.

When you’re creating are you ever influenced by people you know? I definitely am. In fact yesterday’s beetle convertible birthday card attracted the attention of the person who inspired it. She loved it too, which was a relief! Today’s sneak peek project was inspired by the Stampin’ Up! artist who painted the designs for the Christmas Meadow 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP). One sheet in particular called to me, and I intend to make the most of every scrap of the gorgeous ethereal deer ... VIEW POST
