Did you set a New Year’s Resolution this year? I’ve learned to set “intentions” in lieu of a resolution, simply because I’m not always so good with the resolve. Life has a way of getting in the way…But one of my “intentions” for 2022 is to STOP HOARDING DESIGNER PAPER and USE IT UP! Live Life and use the paper!
Of course, this New Horizons DSP is a paper that truly is a test to my HOARDING tendencies. Nothing like facing a challenge at the outset. It’s absolutely gorgeous and sends shivers up my spine to think I might run out “someday”…so here’s what my compromise was for this card…use only a schnibble of paper. ok, it’s not exactly in the “spirit of use it up” but lets talk reality…baby steps…I used only a 3” x 3” piece of designer paper for this sweet and simple card.
Grassy Grove is a lovely stamp set that pairs well with this New Horizons paper. One of the perks of reaching the Million Dollar Milestone is collaboration on a stamp set. This could very well have been “my set”. My guys are serious outdoors/nature kind of guys and this sweet doe and fawn are perfect for birthday card for anyone of them. So I’ve got a stamp set here that I love and I still get to help design another one. Hot Dog!
If you have outdoorsy types in your family, this will be the ideal set to add to your collection…and don’t forget to add a pack of the New Horizons Designer Paper…or 2.
If you’d like a quick recap of the card and more inspiration with the New Horizons DSP, this is the replay of the Facebook Live I did for Coffee Klatsch on 1/10
I have nary a drop of Irish genetic DNA but I identify as Irish come March…and while I love to travel and have MANY wonderful memories, one of my all time favorite trips was our horse back riding trip to Ireland many years ago. My love of all things Ireland started with my first sip of tea on Irish soil….the people, the scenery, the everything…I left a little of my heart there in Sligo.
Since I’m thinking we still won’t be traveling anytime soon, I felt I should bring a little of Ireland to Waukesha and decorated my tiered stand for St. Patricks Day
and then whipped up a fun little card to celebrate…”Cheers To You!” I used the Heart Punch Pack to make my shamrock. It pairs beautifully with the Oh So Ombre DSP from Saleabration. Don’t miss out on your chance to get this as a free item with a qualifying order! Seriously…It’s so cute!
Here’s a list of items that I’ve used to create this card and a video showing how quickly it goes together.
This was a stinkin’ cute card that we did last week in my Take Three class. I’ve paired the stamp set from the Simply Citrus kit with the Jar of Flowers to make Lemonade. It’s fun, it’s summer and a sweet little thank you card.

Because who doesn’t just love their pets?!? Even when they’ve dug up the flower beds, rolled in something stinky, brought home a trophy mouse prize, hacked up a hairball on your new carpet…and the list goes on and on, and so whether they are a much loved companion or a integral part of the family, we have just the suite for you….Playful Pets.
It’s great for scrapbooking and stamping and just plain ol’ cute…and it’s for dog people and cat handlers alike…I prefer to call them handlers instead of owner’s because we really know who’s in charge. Ask any “pet owner” with a cat asking to be fed at 4am or one with a dog that’s looking to chase squirrels…let me know how that ‘ownership’ is working for you. And, if you are a hamster, gerbil or ferret kind of pet people, we’ll need to work on that just a little bit…
I used the Playful Pets Designer Paper to make a little Diva Birthday card this past week for my Rewards Club folks. Please contact me if you are interested in details about the Rewards Club!
I used the Label Me Lovely punch to make the dog bed. Make sure you watch the video to see how that’s done.

This is a great little fun fold and I’ve adapted this card from one that was included in my Welcome Easter class kit. I’ve used this little piggy stamp set to show the flexibility of these fun folds from the virtual online class. Registration for this class is open thru April 30th. Order your kits here. Contact me if you wish to add This Little Piggy Set to your order!
Seriously, this class is Stinkin’ Cute and what’s even better, is that it is an online class.. so its completed in the comfort and “safety” of your own home in your pajamas if you prefer!
I hope all are staying well and encouraged during these unusual times. I’ve been dividing my time in the studio and house /yard projects. I’ve been using the nicer weather to clean out flower beds and get the garden prepped for springtime planting. In the studio I’ve been trying to come up with classes that can be done on line and in the safety of your own home. This fun folds class would have been a few of the cards, we would have stamped at some of my in-person events. I’m looking forward to the day we can meet up again!
My hat is off to our Mukwonago teachers that have risen to the challenge and instituted virtual learning. They are doing a great job and Ella has been enjoying this change of pace and so, I’m going to follow the teacher’s’ example and step out of my comfort zone and do some virtual classes. I have been doing some Facebook lives on a regular basis and hope that you would jump in and follow along.
Here is my first on-line class for April. I hope to have our spring art collage class as the next class on my schedule . I know so many were disappointed when that one had to be rescheduled. I am hoping to still have an in-person make update but will also offer a virtual option. But I digress.
