I’ve been seeing a lot of glimmer paste showing up on the old Instagram of late (this card caught my eye, and this one, too!) and thought I would give it a go and create a simple Valentine’s Day card for the hubs. There is no rule that says you can’t give a man a shimmery card, at least not … Read More
Pixel to Page: Blast from the Past Hybrid Scrapbook Page
I have been starting the very initial stages of Marie Kondo-ing the crap out of my life. While I have only seen one episode of her new Netflix Series, it has inspired me to begin in a logical place: my closet. And let me tell you this: I have only just begun to clean. That said, one thing that lives … Read More
Peace & Love: Distress Ink Painting + Real World Color Inspiration
Are you ever stumped for ideas on color? Even as a person who has worked in design for, oh, 28 years now—yes, I’m seasoned, ladies—I have always been challenged by choosing color combinations. Usually, my guide is the color wheel and that’s it. If it doesn’t make sense on the wheel, I don’t try it. But then I saw this … Read More
Scrapbook Your Year 2018, a walk-thru video of my finished album
My year-long scrapbooking project, Scrapbook Your Year, has yielded another volume of memories and is now in printed form. It’s always so cool to get the 12 x 12 book in hand because for most of this project, it’s just me and layered templates and photos. There is such a joy in seeing it all come together in printed form. … Read More
Pixel to Page: Love This Story (fun with Distress Oxide Sprays)
I’ve been feeling the scrapbooking groove of late, especially when finding ways to combine supplies I would normally use for card making on my scrapbook pages. Today’s said product: brand new Distress Oxide Sprays from Tim Holtz. Now if you know me, I’m not exactly know for splattering on my layouts, but cardmaking has emboldened me to try things I … Read More
Fit 2019: My February Update
I have committed myself to posting each month about my self-care process with all of its upsides and downsides for 2019. If you’d like a recap from 2018, it goes this this: about half-way through, I sort of gave up. End of story. I gave up so hard last year that I was not going to offer my Fit e-course … Read More
Pixel to Page: Currently (scrapbook page + process video)
Two things are true: 1) I love scrapbooking, and 2) I hate proofreading. It’s been a while since I shared a new layout and today’s page is making me all kinds of happy. At least it was until I was taking photos of it and there it was: a typo in the journaling.* But if you know me, you know … Read More
Honey Bee Stamps Blog Hop
Today I’ve got a sweet yet calorie free card treat to share with you featuring a really fun wafer thin die set from Honey Bee Stamps called Cupcake Builder. Say it with me: oh, for cute! This little cupcake builder die set has so many possibilities! I kept it pretty simple, using some of my favorite Distress Oxides of late … Read More
Valentines Two Ways: Simple & a Bit Stepped Up
I’m challenging myself in 2019 to do more with the supplies I have and one way I can do this is to show multiple cards that are created with essentially the same products and supplies. I can’t promise you I’ll do this every time because holy crap, apparently it takes longer plan out and film two at a time. (Still … Read More
