Filled with Lots of Treats | My Favorite Things

I’ve been trying to keep up with manufacturer challenges to use my stash of stamps.  I also find that some of my sets are retired, Top Dog + Peek-a-Boo Trio Die-namics.  I go through my stamps + dies on a regular basis so if I have it, I love it. I know, I’m using that

Your Sparkle | Spellbinders

My friends at Spellbinders sent me the February 2019 Small Dies of the Month – Spring Flutter! Here’s how I was inspired: I adore this die!  It’s so delicate!  I cut it twice and used the smaller separate dies too.  I’ve been a bit smitten with the pink and coral color combo lately.  The sentiment

Interactive Birthday Cake | My Favorite Things

So evidently I’ve had this MFT Twice the Wishes Card Kit since July 2016 and this ‘might’ be the first time I’ve used the dies (good grief).  I’m super thankful for Jennifer McGuire’s YouTube HERE.  I watched it several times.  The card on the left was my first card.  I have a second card but

Have a really, really great birthday | Lawn Fawn

When I saw THIS project by Megan on the Lawn Fawn blog I was thoroughly inspired.  It actually reminds me how little of the newer Lawn Fawn stamp sets that I have.  I do have the Reveal Wheel Lawn Cuts so I decided to challenge myself to design a co-worker’s birthday card.   Here’s how I

Congrats, it’s your birthday | Mojo Monday

Masculine cards are tough for me, how about you?  I’m either designing cards with cute critters or coffee.  So this is as close as it gets: I work in an office with 17 employees.  We’ll be celebrating two February birthdays and I’m the official card maker.  I went through my stash and thought I might

Best of Luck | My Favorite Things

Happy Monday!  I’m beyond grateful that I have self motivated kids.  I’ll always call them my kids, even when they’re in their 40’s, for now they are 21 + 23.  This month, the oldest, my girl, started a regular full time position with the Seattle biotech company that she was contracting with.  I literally whipped

you got this!

Whew, I gotta tell you.  I must have been a mechanical engineer in my previous life because I so don’t have that ‘thought process capability’ now.  Mechanical things always throw me for a loop and that relates to crafting how?  Crafty dies with many pieces…scares me every time, just like the ikea bag ‘o nuts
