So anyway… if you’re feeling lousy and it…

EWE… a Pop Up Tutorial

EWE… a Pop Up Tutorial

That’s Ewe as in Ewe, not “ewwwww”… LOL! ๐Ÿ˜› Here’s my most recent contribution as guest designer for Sweet n Sassy Stamps…. This is a fun pop up card that I made using Sweet n’ Sassy’s “Adoption Day” & “Funny Farm” stamp sets. I love these little sheep! If I had some “puffy stuff” to paint on them, they’d be even more darling! Every family has an “oddball” in their family or has welcomed a new person such as an…

Studio Color Scheme & Enabler Alert: Michael’s Coupon

I had some fun last week in the studio & I finally decided on the new color scheme for the studio!!! YAAAY!

I love altering things and I love working in our woodshop. This weekend Brent and I spent all day Saturday working on InkStaks & RibbonStaks. We had a variety of 10 to build just on Saturday and it was a super long day. We left the woodshop at 11:15 pm and were just exhausted.
