Flora & Fauna: Glass Dome

September 5, 2017September 9, 2017

Hi friends! Today I have a card to share using the Glass Dome set from Flora & Fauna (btw, I keep calling it the Glass Door set for some reason. I have to correct myself every. time.) This was a test run sort of card. I've been wanting to buy this set but kept talking … Continue reading Flora & Fauna: Glass Dome

MFT: Fairy Happy

August 28, 2017September 9, 20171 Comment

Hello friends! At any given moment, it's likely that I'm borrowing some stamp sets from my CFF (craft friend forever) Denise, and she's usually borrowing something from me. For awhile, my husband was our connection (he worked with Denise), carrying supplies back and forth in what we called The Magic Backpack.  Unfortunately The Magic Backpack … Continue reading MFT: Fairy Happy

Waffle Flower: Tea for Two

August 26, 2017September 9, 2017

I love the stamps from the Big Bear and Bird collection from Waffle Flower. Those bears are so sweet. But today I have a card using the smaller stamps from the Tea for Two series. Maybe this is just the carb cravings talking, but those cakes and cookies really needed a card of their own. First, … Continue reading Waffle Flower: Tea for Two

Sending Hedgehugs

August 20, 2017September 9, 2017

Hello friends! You guys, I seriously can't get over these hedgehogs! I've had this set for quite awhile, but haven't made anything with it until now. I was looking through my stash for something to make a whimsical get well card, and I think these hedgehogs from My Favorite Things are really on point. I … Continue reading Sending Hedgehugs

Hi friends, I have three cards to share in a drive-by post! I'm heading to a card workshop at PaperSource - girls' night out with my CFF (craft friend forever).

Lawn Fawn Out of this World

June 18, 2017September 9, 2017

Hi friends, today I have a sweet card that I made for Father's Day using Lawn Fawn's Out of this World set.

Mama Elephant Lil’ Painters

February 26, 2017September 9, 20171 Comment

Hi friends! Today I have two cards to share with you using the new Lil' Painters set from Mama Elephant. I absolutely adore this set. The two cards I made don't even look like they came from the same set, actually, and that's kinda why I love it - so much possibility! Also, bunnies wearing … Continue reading Mama Elephant Lil’ Painters

Neat & Tangled: My Favorite Nut

February 18, 2017February 18, 2017

Hi friends! Today I have the Galentine's Day card I made for my best crafty friend. I was super lame and got it in the mail late, so she only received it yesterday! But any day is still a good day to get a handmade card in the mail, right? Right. To make this card, … Continue reading Neat & Tangled: My Favorite Nut

With love in my heart

February 13, 2017February 13, 20174 Comments

Valentine's Day is upon us. My husband and I have decided to give each other the gift of take-out for dinner and catching up on our stories (The Expanse, likely) or watching hockey. I will probably knit. The dogs will snuggle with us on the couch and most definitely start snoring. Idyllic, if you ask … Continue reading With love in my heart

About me

I am a craft and art enthusiast. My first love is knitting, but a blog about languishing WIPs is hardly interesting. I started making cards about a year ago (and about ten years after I gave up on scrapbooking). Being creative is my outlet and my zen. Monkey and Oliver are my cats and craft buddies.
