Quick & Elegant Note Card Set...
What? It's Friday already?? How in the world did that happen?? LOL! Anyone else feeling very unprepared for the upcoming Holiday season? I need almost hyperventilate just thinking about it... I guess there goes my big plan of being completely finished by the end of November! Teeheheee! I've got a very quick little note card set to share with you tonight. When I say quick...boy, I really mean quick! And at the rate I'm going on completing my Christmas gifts...this is right up my alley! LOL! I used some brushed gold cardstock to create a custom package for my note...

Thoughts & Prayers...
Hi! I'm back with another card to share with you. :-) We have some friends that are going through a major crisis right now. It used to be hard for me to write cards to those going through major struggles. I mean, I wanted to show them how much I care about them...but finding the right words proved difficult. After our own major struggle, I realized that it's not so much the words...it's just the knowing that someone cares! So, this card is going out tomorrow to hopefully do just that...let them know we care! At first glance, there doesn't...

Center of Attention Spotlight - Mini Binder Box...
Happy Monday! Today part of the Baker's Dozen DT is sharing projects created with the Mini Binder Boxes from Taylored Expressions! Not only are they perfect for storing your Taylored Expressions stamps, but they can be used for SO much more!! Because I love to cook & bake, I decided to create a recipe card holder! I chose some October Afternoon Paper to slide inside the clear protective cover and used the pie image (from Berries & Cherries), some Prima letters, a painted chipboard frame, and some rhinestones to decorate my box. Of course I had to add ribbon! :-)...

Gourmet Coffee Drink...
Hi! Are you enjoying your weekend? My youngest son is turning four on Monday, but we are having his party tomorrow. Sooo...we are doing all the "oh my gosh people are coming over so we better clean this place up" stuff! LOL! (How is it that even when you're gone the house gets even dirtier??) I wanted to quickly come and share a peek of a little project that I have posted over on the Verve Stamps blog for this month's Project Parade Challenge. The theme is "Home for the Holidays", which can include cards, gifts, or decor. Since I'm...

Weekend Sketch Challenge - Blessed by You...
Wooohoooo for Friday!! Do you have any big plans for the weekend? I doubt that we will do anything major. Sometimes not doing anything is a blessing, know what I mean? :-) For this week's Weekend Sketch Challenge card (can you believe it's week 106 already? :-), I decided to break out some of my much loved Kraft paper! Especially this time of year, there is just something so fitting about it's warmth and rustic-ness! I started by stamping the graph paper background stamp (from Waltzingmouse Stamp's Off Beat Backgrounds set) in Vintage Cream ink onto Kraft cardstock. After that...
