I’ve been getting a head start on autumn and Halloween decorations lately, so when I saw this awesome haunted house SVG kit from SVGCuts.com I had to try to make my own version. I planned it for a day that the husband was away and I’d have the house to myself because I thought it would […]

Silhouette Stamping Kit Card
When I heard that Silhouette was coming out with a Stamping Kit, I was beyond excited…but, naturally, still a little skeptical. I mean, how could I possibly get use out of a stamp that wasn’t “deeply-etched red rubber” or the “highest quality photopolymer”? I got a pretty good deal on my kit from an online […]
Early Autumn Wreath
It’s not technically autumn yet, but once the school buses start rolling around here, I always decide it’s time to take down the summer decor. Since it’s too early for my Halloween decorations, I opted to make my own fall-inspired wreath using my Silhouette Cameo, some cardstock and ink, and burlap ribbon: Using designs I […]
Frosted Moroccan Window Card
I was very excited to get my August Card Kit in the mail from Simon Says Stamp because I haven’t used a lot of stencils in my card-making.

Circle Sketch Challenges

Embossed Die Cuts
I thought this technique would look great on a very intricate die cut…and with so much purple in this week’s color scheme, what’s more intricate than grape vines? This is a file I purchased from the Silhouette Online Store (design # 8116) and cut from very thick white cardstock using my Cameo. Since it was […]
Card Camp Week 2, Day 1 – “Circle Card”
I rarely make shaped cards, so I definitely wanted to try out sketch #1 today. I also needed a birthday card for my nephew, and when I saw the color scheme for this week I couldn’t get Granny Smith apples out of my head…so I just went for it: I designed this apple-shaped card in […]
Homemade Garden Tags
I made these tags for my garden a few months back before I had to blog to share them on. It was a beautiful weekend where I am, so I spent a lot of time enjoying my garden today. Every year (even when I lived in a fourth floor apartment) I plant tons of tomatoes, […]
