We want to show you new ideas and products from other countries and let you find ways to incorporate them into your…

working again

Looks like Google Analytics is working again! Woo! I am sorry for all of these posts, but I had to test my new “supplies” graphic too! Paper: Ink: Stamps: Etc: Thank you so much for visiting! Have an amazing day,

Grrr to Google Analytics

Just realized that if one changes their layout in blogger it deletes the google analytics code! oops! Just a warning for anyone who changes their layout and wonders why no one visits their blog anymore! jaja! πŸ™‚ Have an amazing day,

This is only a test.

It’s a Small World After All!

Don’t these flowers remind you of the Small World ride at Disney? It is my all time favorite ride because I absolutely love the art so much! Once I saw this stamp I had to get it because it reminded me of the ride!
This card is for the Hero Arts coloring challenge. Jennifer McGuire talked about coloring with colored pencils on kraft card stock, and I just had to try it. It seriously looks…

Please excuse blogger’s funkiness with the photos. It won’t cooperate with me!

So today was one of those days when I just felt blah. You know what I mean? Well, for me, the best way to clear the blahs is to craft. So I thought I would make the brightest happiest card I could think of. I decided to combine two challenges. This one at the American Crafts blog:

Meaning I comment on about 7 of your entries at once! This happens because life gets so busy and all of the wonderful blogs I love to read pile up. Well, I shouldn’t let this happen because I was pretty late in realizing I…

BBQ B-day

Here is a guy birthday card. So hard to do! I made a version of this for Father’s Day, and I adapted it to a birthday. I just love those little weber grills! I am going to visit my parents in Chicago tonight. My Dad just had his second knee replaced on Monday. He is doing really well, and I am really excited about getting to spend some time with him and my Mom! I…
