This week for my Project Life video series with Two Peas In a Bucket, I show you how I mix a 12×12 print from Persnickety Prints and photos that I print at home. I use Photoshop to build the collage and walk you through the process. Incorporating memorabilia each week is something I enjoy doing, so I made sure to squeeze some of that in. Read More »
Made a little video showcasing some fun techniques for the Studio Calico blog. Digging these little videos and thinking of doing some more. If you’ve got some ideas of what you would like to see, would love to hear from you!
Delighted to be a part of this new video series at Two Peas In a Bucket. Each Saturday there will be a new Project Life video from one of the Garden Girls. In the first video of this series, I show how a spread of a trip came together. I used photos printed by Persnickety Prints, Design E and Design A of these Project Life Read More »
There are times when I get new supplies and the sudden urge comes over me to drop everything and just create.

Since step outs using just photos would probably not do the products justice, we set up a table and tripod outside in the Read More »
Today I am excited to show you another video tutorial that we recently put together. As I said before, I am by no means a great cardmaker, but sometimes it’s fun to make something quick and easy. For this card, I really wanted to play with the new Hero Arts’ Shadow Inks – they’re so much fun! Plus they pair rather nicely with the watercolor Read More »

Actually, I should probably rephrase the title. It should be “how I write on instagrams”. There are likely numerous ways of doing this, but since I get questions whenever I post one of these photos, I thought a little tutorial was in order. And because I only know of one way to do this using a free app, you’re getting all this knowledge for one Read More »
Thanks for all your sweet comments about Sketchbook, my colorful Project Life, and every other random thing I post. Have I told you lately how much your comments brighten my day? Well they do. So thank you for that. Some of you asked how I made the collage of my January photos. It’s super easy, and I have Elise Blaha to thank when years ago Read More »
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you already know that my addiction for sewing has made it’s way from clothing to paper. It’s therapeutic and adds a unique, personalized touch to layouts, cards, and pretty much anything you can make. If you’ve wanted to learn the easiest way to get create this look, check out the DIY stitching-on-paper tutorial on the Hambly Read More »
One of my fondest memories at the start of my company over 7 years ago was when my mom first showed me how to chain stitch. I got a little obsessed with it and began stitching on everything.
