on a roll...

With each new catalogue release, Kelli & I have been getting together to CASE (Copy And Share Everything!) some of the examples so that we have new samples to display for our customers. We pick an example to CASE and then make 2 - one for each of us. The last couple of times we've done this, Kelli has managed to pump out oh, 4 or 5 (so 8-10) cards to my 1 or 2... it's pathetic, really. But not tonight. Tonight, I was on a roll...

it's a ruff life...

what's your word?

Your Word is "Fearless"

You see life as your one chance to experience everything, and you just go for it! You believe the biggest risk is being afraid and missing out on something amazing. Sometimes your fearlessness means you're daring. You enjoy risky activities. And sometimes your fearlessness means you're courageous. You're brave enough to do the right thing, even when it's scary.

What's Your Word?

Valentine's Day...

is 'just around the corner' (by the Card Maker's Timeline), and it's so nice to make something other than a Christmas card for a change!




These are just a few things I've been working on for some upcoming workshops and classes...

(another) snow day...

these were actually taken the other day at the dog park, but you wouldn't really be able to tell - it looks like this every day now!
