I remade a project from last month to create a pocket for my Buckeye Inklings gift certificates. The original project had a slot for a gift card (photo below, click here for gift card post). That slot, cut with a stem from the Everyday Jars framelit collection, is too short … Continue reading
I love to pair a big greeting with a designer paper background. Throw in a few accents, and you really can’t do any more because, quite frankly, you are out of space! The big greeting and pretty background do all of the work for you. I particularly like this big … Continue reading
This sweet little favor has been popular this fall – in classes and at my craft show. This is a pouch that holds a hot cocoa packet, and there is a chocolate-dipped peppermint stick tied to the outside. This isn’t a new design, and it isn’t my original. I am … Continue reading
My thoughts and prayers are with students, staff, responders, and victims at Ohio State after yesterday’s terrifying attack. I am thankful that none of our family and friends were directly involved.

Truth be told, the punch art on the Grinch is a little fussy, but the gift card holder itself is not. I make a lot of Gift Card Holders at this time of year – they are great sellers at Craft Fairs, and I use quite a few myself. These … Continue reading
I was at Sam’s Club the other day, and I rolled right past this display of sleepers at first. But then my mind caught up with my actions and I had to back up. The color combination grabbed me. I used these colors with a throwback (retired) stamp set, and throwbacks … Continue reading
