Paper Doily Sizzlet!


Please don't let the NEW Paper Doily Sizzlet wear your patience. As with ALL Sizzlets with intricate design, it does take some time to get all the little pieces out of it. The end result is a magnificient piece of design and is well worth it. Your Big Shot will need a shim of cardstock. Remember all Big Shots are calibrated just a little different.

Catalog CASE!



I love to use the catalogs for inspiration and page 16 of the Occasions Mini is no different. The Simply Scored (item # 122334) is a nifty tool for making score lines on your card stock.

Heart Framelits


With the colder weather this weekend, I played with some of my new Stampin' Up! goodies, particularly the NEW Heart Framelits. Can I just say, THESE ARE THE BEST! My clubs will be using the Framelits in their upcoming stamping nights. I didn't think that the NEW Twitterpated was going to be my style, but I have to tell you, the patterns are fabulous.

Nature Walk II


Thanks to Julie for this layout for my December workshops. I don't have the Aviary Set, so I substituted Nature Walk and used the bird from Itty Bitty Bits inside the cage. As you can see, Sincere Salutations was used for the sentiment.
