Snow Day!

I love snow. That's really my only complaint about living in Arkansas---not enough snow! So even a small amount brings joy. It is snowing like crazy at my house right now :) I just had to go out and get a picture. This is when the snow had just started. Hopefully we'll get a sizeable amount, or at least enough to make snow cream!

After I took my pic, I decided to share it with you on a page I made using My Digital Studio. It is such an easy scrapbooking tool! Pages come together much quicker for me digitally than otherwise. I know some of you really want that Scrapbook to hold in your hand...and I like that too for some projects. But I find creating digital scrapbooks allows my pictures to find a home faster. I can always print or have them printed and if I want I can embellish them further after I print.

I hope you get a chance to enjoy the gift of snow that God has given us today. And if not, just be sure to thank Him for the other multitude of blessings you have recieved!

Get ready to Sale-a-brate!

Just wanted to remind everyone that Sale-A-Bration starts on January 25 and goes till March 31. This is Stampin' Up!'s biggest sale event of the year. For every $50 you spend you earn a free Sale-A-Bration product of your choice. Host a workshop of at least $300 and earn a free Sale-A-Bration product, in addition to the generous hostess benefits you already recieve. And the free options just get better every year. This year, in addition to stamp sets, your options include a paper pack, a ribbon & button pack, a digital content CD, and even decor elements! I love free stuff!


With February just around the corner, I have been working on some Valentines items. Here's a peek at something you may see again at my next workshop.





This project uses the Greeting Card Kids stamp set. And if you think she is sweet, wait till you see what's inside!


Let me know if you are interested in hosting a workshop during Sale-A-Bration or you would like more information.

Big Shot Rag Quilt

I spent this holiday weekend making a rag quilt for Christina's dorm room. Originally it was going to be for a little girl, but my daughter liked the fabric so much, I decided to make it for her. I cut all the fabric with my Big Shot die cut machine using the scallop rectangle die. The Big Shot will cut 8 layers of fabric at once. That made it possible for me to finish this quilt in just a couple days. I am very pleased with how it turned out, but most importantly, Christina is too. I'd love to answer questions or show you how easy this is to put together if you're interested!
