June 12-14 Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Retreat

Debbie — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 04:18:09 +0000

OK, I have a question. How do all of you that have blogs, keep them up to date? You would think that I would have had a couple of free hours in the past six weeks to actually update this blog that I wanted so badly right? Right. It’s not like I don’t have enough self-imposed guilt in my life…but now I have to add not updating my blog regularly to that guilt trip too. Please, tell me…HOW DO YOU DO IT?????

It’s for reasons just like this that I often feel the need to get away…to run away from all of the things I have to do and just pretend that they don’t exist. I know…it’s called "denial"…and I’m very good at it! I just returned from our last scrapbooking and cardmaking retreat out in Canmore this weekend and it was FABULOUS!! The ladies had such a great time and we are soooo looking forward to our next retreat. Here are the details once again:

New Feature – Color Combination of the Month

Debbie — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 06:24:21 +0000

Thought I would try something different to start off 2009. I always hear from my customers how they seem to get stuck using the same color combinations over and over again. I used to be the same way and have really started experimenting with colors that I never thought I would put together. Here is my January card using a great color combination that is very popular in home decor and fashion right now.

This card uses Really Rust, Chocolate Chip and Baja Breeze cardstock, along with rub-ons from a Level 3 hostess set coming out in the NEW Spring/Summer 2009 Idea Book and Catalogue. Don’t you just love this combo?!
