    Last two Goodbyes

    Live Your Life Like it Matters This one is not back tooo far, from March. Did I tell you that I gave the sign away?? Yup! Love that she keeps it in her studio! Nooo, not all of the dies are retiring. The letters in “Life” have been retired for a whole year already. The rest are only available for less then a week if they are not already gone…. do you need them?? Hurry up! No worries however, the Poppy’s are going to be in the new catalog. However these are the 2018-2020 In-Colors and those also are in short supply! Did you forget to order them?? Now what…

    A Look back..

    Here is a retiring stamp feature… Beautiful Day. Want to take a peak back at the post… Link. This “watercolor” technique and Birthday cards were so fun to create. Thank you again Korine for letting me use your stamp set!! Retiring… Love What you Do! Ohh, I am sniffling just a bit over this one. I can promise that this one will NOT be in the BOGO sale next month! This “tag” has been issued to a few business owner friends as a “Free Class Pass” and will be honored once again once thing get back to “normal”. Check the original post here.

    Here is where I left you yesterday… I am going to be SUPER honest…. Truly, I was stumped! I know it was a crazy day yesterday. I spent most of the day on the computer. However, I learned a bunch of new things!! After all was said and done, I was tired and overwhelmed. Could that have been it?? Apparently NOT!

That was certainly working. hummm Wait until you see!! Paula, you have no idea how…

The left is where I started. The right had more impact. Did you know that the retired Large Letter dies are on the clearance rack?? For LESS then $60! Snag those puppies quick! In addition to those dies, grab what you need of the 2018-2020 In…

    Magnolia Lane, Hello Beautiful

    Where do you find inspiration?? Well, I know that I find it in strange places some times.. AND at weird times too! How about you?? I found the inspiration for this card in an antique store a few weeks ago. Joe and I were out on a date and like to stop in local shops. In other words… SHOPPING! This was in one of our usual stops … Just “hanging” out for me to see… Quick to snap a shot and then try to figure out HOW to pull this off… with a little help from a friend, this all came together. Thank you for your suggestion my friend! The…

    Sampler part 1

    So, I do not forget…. I want to thank, once again, Sugar Shack Bakery in Plymouth for her beautiful flower cookies that matched very well!! Thank you Stephanie, the ladies though they were super yummy!! I was super excited, my mom (left) joined us for her very FIRST class. She said she has a super time and enjoyed the other ladies that came too!! Starting off with all the punches… phew, there were almost 60 punched out pieces per sampler… mostly the new medium Daisy (b-151118 punch-149517). Ten total daisy flowers, three per flower. Want to view the full sampler close up…link. It was sure fun to share this with…
