How I Stay Organized

I never create just one card.  Whenever I create a collection, I make at least twenty of each card.  There are five different card designs in each collection.  Since I love to use embellishments on all of my cards, that equates to hundreds of pieces to keep organized. When it […]


I’m All About Using Retired Stampin’ Up! Products

I used to sell all of my retired stamp sets and paper and embellishments.  It was important to me to always show new products when I held my classes.  I stopped holding classes a few years ago when my girls were in the throws of high school.  They had so […]
