Crops – A fun way to spend a day

Posted: Wednesday, October 31st, 2018 @ 8:49 am in Projects | No Comments »

I attend many of the crops in our area (Erie, PA).  These events, often usually held at churches or halls, are a fun way to network, get some scrapbooking or other projects done, and get away from the cooking etc. at home. This month, I am still working on some pages from the 1980’s – […]

I have been seeing cotton everywhere in stores for fall decor.  And the Country Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up! is right on trend.

Fall color is all around, and what better way to copy nature than with stamps, paper and ink.  The Falling for Leaves bundle is perfect for fall and Thanksgiving cards.

Peak color is this week in my neck of the woods (Erie, PA) so it’s time to share some leafy projects. Tip:  The Soft Suede panel is raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  This card is so simple – cut, stamp, glue. This second card was made from scraps – otherwise I would have matted the vanilla […]
