Hoppy Hoppy Birthday!

March 7, 2018March 18, 2018

When I was a kid living outside of Buffalo, NY, we had an in-ground pool, and every summer, my dad had a "game" with a local frog. He'd go out to the pool, find the frog swimming around, scoop him out and throw him over the fence. The next day, the frog would be back, … Continue reading Hoppy Hoppy Birthday!

MFT: Somebunny I love

February 26, 2018February 26, 20181 Comment

I thought I would wait a couple of days before sharing my next card, but I wanted to play this card in the MFT sketch challenge (#373) and what do you know, it closes tomorrow! Oh darn, I guess I'll just have to go ahead and share it now 🙂 Here's my card: For this … Continue reading MFT: Somebunny I love

For my favorite human

February 13, 20181 Comment

My husband and I are silly people. We refer to our dogs as our friend beasts. We spent a road trip casting an all animal production of Hamilton that we called Mammalton. So naturally I needed to make him a Valentine that captured our special relationship. I used the More Monsters set from My Favorite … Continue reading For my favorite human

Mermaid to be friends

February 11, 20181 Comment

Hi friends! Today I have a quick post to share a card I made for the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Sketch challenges are always, well, a challenge for me. I guess I'm just too free spirited for sketches, haha! (If you knew me for any length of time, you'd know that's totally not true) … Continue reading Mermaid to be friends

A chapter of scenic bookmarks

January 31, 2018

(I have no idea what the collective noun for bookmarks is, but I'd like to think it's a "chapter".) I have to apologize in advance because I've had a lot (alot) of caffeine today and I'm a little wired and chatty and, you guys, I am SO tickled with how these bookmarks turned out. If … Continue reading A chapter of scenic bookmarks

Mama Elephant: Little Things with Agendas

October 1, 2017October 1, 20171 Comment

Hi friends! Can I tell you a secret? Ok maybe it's not that much of a secret, but still. I am obsessed with all the Little things with their respective agendas. You know, that series of stamps from Mama Elephant? Crazy about them. I have all of them. They all kill me with their adorableness. … Continue reading Mama Elephant: Little Things with Agendas

Lawn Fawn: Claw-some Party Mashup

September 3, 2017September 9, 20171 Comment

I was pretty excited to get my crafty mitts on  the You're Claw-some set from Lawn Fawn when it was released. I have yet to use it as is, however. I keep mashing it up with other Lawn Fawn sets. Some more successful than others. I made this card, filling the claw machine with bananas … Continue reading Lawn Fawn: Claw-some Party Mashup

Rainbow Maker: Die-cuts and Watercolor

August 17, 2017September 9, 2017

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). For the first card, I used my Copic markers to color a rainbow onto some Neenah Solar White cardstock. Then I diecut the stars using … Continue reading Rainbow Maker: Die-cuts and Watercolor

You know how when you are shopping for gifts for a really good friend who also happens to be a card maker and you let a few things fall in your cart for yourself too? That's how I ended up with the Octopi My Heart set from Lawn Fawn. So flippin' cute. Today I have … Continue reading Lawn Fawn: Octopi My Heart

Hi friends, today I have a card for the very first challenge for Where Creativity Meets C9. The theme is celebration! And it's a great excuse (as if I needed one) to play with stamps from Concord & 9th.

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.
