As you read this, think of me, as I returned to the classroom today. The creative burst that I had for the last few days will drastically decrease again, as my life will be overcome with grading papers, meetings, lesson planning, inservices, covering additional classes, and all of the other less important…but needed to be…

Enjoy Life
The stamp set that I’m featuring today is called Enjoy Life and it has a great masculine feel to it. The first creation was a card that I created for one of my cards workshop and then recreated for the card swap at Convention. You can read more about this creation on this post. Inside…
Rosy Regards
Ok…here’s another stamp set that’s going to be retiring at the end of the month. It’s called Rosy Regards. It’s been almost exactly one year since I created the card below and I still love it. I can’t put my finger on it. Is it the pleated ribbon? The way the flowers are cut? The…
Diverse Background
Well, I’m feeling a smidge better today….and I mean a smidge. But it definitely feels good to get out of bed for awhile. After checking some of my “go-to” sites, I discovered one of my favorite things…a new “Clearly the Best” videos from Close To My Heart. It’s actually great timing, as the first two…
Heartfelt Treasures
I had hoped to post some more projects using soon-to-be-retired stamp sets, but I rang in the new year sick…and NOT with a hangover. I started having a scratchy throat last Thursday evening and pretty much felt like I had a minor cold up through Saturday night/Sunday morning. But since then, I started getting worse….
Kick Back
Over the last two days, I shared with you two of my absolute favorite stamp sets that will soon be retiring, Remarkable Wreath and Simple Memories. However, there are some more projects that I want to share with you that use some of the other wonderful stamp sets that are retiring soon. Today, I’m going…
Simple Memories
Continuing on with looking at some projects using soon-to-be-retired stamp sets…today, I’m sharing with you projects that I made using another one of my favorite stamp sets…”Simple Memories” This card was created for last year’s Crazy for Cards workshop and then recreated for Convention swap cards. The labor into making this card was low, but thanks to…
Some of my faves…
As I was going through the list of retiring stamps the other day, several of the stamp sets on the list tugged at my heart a little, as it’s kind of sad to see them retire. Several of the stamp sets have become my favorite and in some cases…my “go to” stamps for various projects….
Out with the old and in with the new….
FedEx delivered the new 2013 Close To My Heart Spring/Summer Idea Books to me today. I’ve spent the better part of the day joyfully making my wish list. I’ll spare you…and my husband…the total cost. 🙂 If you love new crafty goodies like I do, then I’m sure you are eager to see what’s new…
It's that time of year again…
As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ll be heading to Texas next week for Close To My Heart’s Annual Convention. I’ll be arriving on Tuesday, even though the General Session doesn’t start until Thursday. One of the most anticipated events on Thursday will be the release of the new Fall/Winter 2012 Idea Book. At lunch, you will…
