This oyster shell ornament uses a lizard stamp from Stamp Francisco, acrylic paints and a shell with a hole punched in it. Before you do anything else, you will need to clean your shell. I also left mine out in the sun for about six months, but if you’re grabbing fresh shells off your date’s […]
I was looking for a strawberry stamp to use on my jars of strawberry jelly (those berries are coming out my ears!) and came across a company I’ve never seen before - Papertrey Ink. How perfect is this stamp? You can read about the actual project this design was used on at Papertrey’s blog, Capture […]
When I saw this scrap of sheet music, I couldn’t resist making a quick little ATC using it and one of the crayon backgrounds from one of the previous Technique Tuesday posts. As you may have noticed, I’ve fallen in love with the Stampsmith image of the Victorian girl and am using it again here. […]

This is the cutest idea for an expectant mom. I must admit that the colors a bit too bright for my taste, but the idea is just adorable. It’s especially nice for someone who’s almost due and probably feeling a teensy bit blue at the thought of missing Mother’s Day by a few weeks this […]
Fun Foam is all the rage with crafty kids right now, so it is easy to find on sale. I decided to experiment with a box of shapes and my iron. I covered the shapes with waxed paper so they didn’t stick to the iron. Then, I heated them up until they melted and curled […]
I can’t believe they’re calling for snow in mid-April! Well, if spring won’t come, we’ll make our own artful flowers. This simple card design is super easy for kids and lots of fun. I made this one with help from a three year old and a five year old. We tore paper into petal shapes, […]
