A card-making and papercrafting video blog
Hi All, I love this stamp set for hearts – there are so many! I used white embossing powder on white paper and then applied the ink (Stampin’ Up! using foam applicators). I also broke out the needle and thread, which I don’t do very often. The first version of this card I did without the outside white border. I hate to put too many layers on the card, but I felt like it needed just one more frame of {Read More}
Happy Wednesday! I went on a scrapbooking retreat this past weekend – so fun!! I completed 44 pages. It was so nice to just focus on being creative and not have to worry about cooking, cleaning, being a referee to kid fights, etc. I mean, I totally missed the kids, but it was nice to have a little break. Anyway… today’s card has an envelope on the front that I created using a hand-made template. OK, so my template is {Read More}
Hi! I made this card as a Valentine’s Day card, but you could really use it for anything. The background stamp is the “Friendship Definition” by Hero Arts.

Hi All! I’m teaching 5 classes between Monday and Thursday this week, then no Zumba for 3 days! I’m going on a scrapbooking retreat. I’ve only been once before and loved it. I can’t wait!

It really made me feel like I am doing something worthwhile. I mean, I liked {Read More}
It’s been kind of a crazy week. I’ve been sick, but I have continued teaching my Zumba classes. I started a fever last night, so I need to take a break! I’m trying to find a sub for tomorrow, but it’s not easy. I had an audition with SMU yesterday and it went great! As soon as I fill out my paperwork, I will be a sub there. There is a class in the Fall they want me to teach, {Read More}
Hi Everyone! This card can be used as a Valentine’s Day card or just a thinking of you/friendship card. I used the “I {Heart} Hearts” stamp set from Stampin’ Up!, which is my FAVORITE set right now. And, Stampin’ Up! donates $2 from every sale of this set to the Red Cross Haiti Relief fund. I used a gel pen to create some faux stitching, which I especially love on black paper. See supplies at the end of the video {Read More}
Thanks for visiting my video blog! I post a new video every Wednesday and sometimes an extra when I have time. Enjoy!
