What Lucky Bunnies

These bunnies are just the cutest and so lucky to be featured as our Stamp of the Month in March. This is a card made for me by my friend, Karen. I was so excited to receive this in the mail! It's funny how we live in such a digital world now-and I totally love all the tech and gadgets! But it was so refreshing to receive a beautiful handmade card in the *snail mail* from someone who cares about me and wanted to let me know in the sweetest way! Thanks, Karen, I love this card! Send someone you love a handmade card today and let them know they crossed your mind!

You can get Sensational Season for FREE with a $100 order anytime through the end of the month or at a significant discount with your qualifying purchase. In addition to that, any $25 order of stamps or more and you can get one of our most popular My Acrylix blocks-either a 3x3" or the 2 1/2 x 6"-for FREE! Karen used our new Pink Buttons Assortment, Neutral Assortment Embroidery Floss, some embossed Sweet Leaf cardstock, blush cardstock, the Colonial White Card & Envelope Value Pack and our fabulous Watercolor pencils.

Happy crafting and have a Sensational Day!

Warm wishes,

My budding artists

The healthy Fruit Salad

This morning I woke up to a plethora of art. (This Usually happens after 'Mom's Ladies' come over.) The kids enjoy craft night quite a bit and always want to help set up and make new crafts. The 'Ladies' are always very good to humor them!

Brook made me a card with something yummy and 'healthy'. (Because It has both fruit and salad on the cover it's TWICE as good for you!) This girl's gonna be the next Close To My Heart star, I tell ya!

Aidan's Picasso

Aidan's started as a tracing of the buffalo, Roam, and ended up as a Picasso of my scrapbook work. He says, "I drew the blue and blue, light yellow, pink, dark yellow and pink, dark blue, blue, brown, orange and the grey, grey and the black", when asked to tell about it. "It's your work, Mom." Gotta love my support team!

Last night's card class was a lot of fun and thanks to the Ladies, Ann and Anja, being such good sports. We zipped through the cards last night and ended with some fabulous chocolate doughnuts. Mmmmm!
Warm wishes,

It's a new month and there's a new stamp set in town! Sensational Spring is the new set on the block. The bunnies make it just perfect for Easter tidings and pages and it looks absolutely beautiful watercolored or colored in pencil. (Keep your eye out early next week for the super cute card Karen sent me which she colored in pencil.)

Saturday Crop

I was invited to Karen's house this weekend for a crop with the girls. Carma came as well and we had so much fun! It was really nice just hanging out with the girls at a place not my own (think cleaning!) We talked girls, shop, basketball and men and enjoyed lovely treats provided by Karen and Carma. I admit I failed there. Epically.

Karen also took us to lunch at my new favorite place, Dear Lizzy. It's a boutique with a cute bistro inside it, located in Highland. FABULOUS!! I was afraid to take pictures of their loot, but you can see a glimpse in these photos of the girls.

Carma and I

I was able to get 10, count them TEN, layouts done while there. I had some old club and Stamp Camp layouts that never got photos on them and they seemed to go quite well with the stack of photos sitting in the drawer! Add some journaling and shazam!! Sadly, I don't have many pictures left from my pre-kids years, but what I had I got scrapbooked! I am almost caught up to 2006 now.

Hey, you know, speaking of old paper packs, did you know you can still get them in Studio J, our online studio scrapbooking website? Check it out for free and play around! You can completely build a layout (or 10) without any commitment to purchase or any of your own dardrive storage space. So stop by, check it out and then call me for your membership before you buy to save you 50% on layouts, get free shipping, free sheet protectors and free jpegs - plus as a member, get your tenth layout free during February only.

Warm wishes,
