I have been wanting to get an inexpensive sewing machine to sew on my cards and layouts for a long time. (I would actually love to learn how to “really” sew someday too, but I just can’t afford another hobby at the moment.) I had heard that Janome’s Sew Mini was great for sewing paper…
I know that it isn’t Autumn anymore, but I just love this card. I wish I could take full credit for it, but it was actually inspired by a card by Yvonnne Wickham. The top panel is raised with some 3-D foam squares.Cardstock: CTMH Autumn Terracotta, Chocolate, textured White Daisy Stamps: CTMH Autumn Splendor, So…
This is a layout that I did a couple of years ago. (I will be 38 this May.) I am posting it because many of you don’t know me yet and I thought this was kind of a fun way to find out some silly things about me. Here are 35 “random” things about me…

I used Papertrey’s wonderfully thick cardstock and embossed a border using Spellbinder’s largest Rectangle from the Small Nestabilities Classic Rectangle Set. It is kind of hard to…
When I was using my Cuttlebug earlier today, my 16 month old daughter got so excited. She came right over, picked up a piece of my scratch paper and tried to do what Mommy was doing. Of course I had to drop what I was doing and grab my camera. I can’t wait until she…
