ISS Blog Hop – Hello Spring!

I might be stretching the theme a bit, but I just had to play with this stamp set. Aren’t they the Cutest Crew?? In my defense, puppies and kitties and flowers and butterflies are definitely Spring related, right? I colored this with Stampin Blends and it was really simple! The animals are colored with the…

ISS Blog Hop – Fall in Love with Autumn

ISS Blog Hop – Fabulous Fun Folds

Have you ever seen a card design that was pretty unpractical but so cool you just had to make it? Those are the best kinds of fun folds. This card is too big for a normal envelope. It measures at 6″ x 8″ when closed. It’s kind of flimsy, and can be difficult to pick…

Tip: I measured the same…

ISS Blog Hop – Mom’s Kitchen… A Taste of Love

This month we were inspired by our moms and our stomachs. When I think of my mom, crafting is definitely something that comes to mind. She’s not just a stamper, she’s also a sewer, and she’s thrilled that I’ve finally started picking up her life long hobby. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, but…
