I’ve decided to try and post something every day this month. Lofty goals are always made on the 1st of the month or the start of anything. And if you all are wondering about #mileaday, I am already a failure. I made it to Day 7 and then on Day 8 & 9 it rained. I used the rain as an excuse a reason to Read More »
This little notebook was sent to me by one of my creative partners, Baum-Kuchen. It’s aptly named, Kangaroo Notebook, because all the pages are made up of pockets. Clever, right? Well the notebook is now available for pre-order (and these cute pockets for pre-order). They were so kind to send me the horizontal sample to play with in advance. I kept it simple and used new Read More »
It was brought to my attention that some of the photos in old blog posts aren’t showing up. Early on when I started blogging, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I thought if I copied a link to insert a photo, it would be there forever. Often I would simply copy the image link from Snapfish, and well, I don’t think those photos Read More »
We’re thrilled to be have our handmade fabric minibook featured in the latest issue of Mollie Makes. We were asked to use bright, rainbow colors for the Summer of Love issue. The friendship bracelets and colorful projects make me feel like I’m a teenager again. How wonderful it would have been to have had such a gorgeous magazine way back when. Thankful it’s available now Read More »
As a big fan of mixed media and mini books, I was delighted to have my Puerto Rico journal featured in Cloth Paper Scissors Pages 2012, available on newsstands now. This issue is full of creative mixed media projects, and since my book was already bound, it happens to be one of the more simpler ones. Many others have cool and complex binding techniques and Read More »

Thank you. Thank you. Feeling so overwhelmed (in the best way) reading all your kind words about Sketchbook. Paper crafters, scrapbookers and all around creative, supportive, encouraging types are just the best! Since we have to wait until next Tuesday for the full reveal, and the products don’t ship to the stores until March, I thought I would share some goodies that you can get Read More »
All of these books were created with the original Daybook (also known as the Hug Life Mini Book) available at Simon Says Stamp, Scrapbook.com, and hopefully your local retailers. There are tons of different creative ways to alter and customize them for any occasion, as seen here by some of the super creative Studio Calico team. A couple folks are using these for their December Read More »
Last year I professed I was doing it, and by doing it, I meant participating in Ali Edwards’ project – December Daily. To my surprise (and delight), I actually completed the project all the way through. Well, all the way to the 25th of December, which counts in my book. The plan is to keep much of what worked the same for this year. The Read More »
