This past week, I got a request for one of my creative team members to create a kit for her so that she could document her and her husband's yearly trip to the bluegrass festival. It dawned on me that OMG, why haven't I EVER created a kit based on Summer Festivals! Growing up, music was a HUGE thing in my house, and when me and my husband met, we spent half the day sitting at a park-and-ride after our lunch date sharing our playlists. Music is a HUGE pastime for many people,

Hello, Creatives! Having a happy weekend? I know this weekend me and my husband will be refinishing our deck for the Memorial Weekend, and probably be doing yard work. I've had so many requests this year already for a Gardening Collection, and even though I'm not much a gardener myself, I've really explored my green thumb this year by adding lots of plants to my house. As a kid, however, tomato sandwiches on toast were some of my favorite. Or lining fresh-picked veggies up i

Hello, Creatives! wow, I can't believe we are already halfway through July, it seems the summer has just flown by! I walked into Target the other day and already have seen back-to-school signs, and school supplies. This August coming up I'm planning a much-needed trip for my husband and my anniversary. And so with summer winding down, I'm starting to get those feels of coffee shops, books, and having lunch in a small bistro. This summer has been somewhat food fancy, and we al

Hello, Creatives! There have been so many wonderful things going on this summer, and more and more every week it seems to be getting back to "normal". With gatherings this year, backyard BBQs, drinks with friends, yard games, and being by the fireside, it inspired my newest kit. The Backyard Collection is new in the shop this weekend with elements, papers, journal cards, and an alpha set. And I hope will inspire your to document all of those backyard memories. You can snag th

Hello, Creatives! Wow already mid-way through June, and Summer really feels like it's here. We've been having a lot of rainy weather and storms here lately, and it's been super Muggy Here. It's even hard to snag a few days just to mow. This past week was my first venture out without a mask on. I kinda felt naked. Like as though I was going straight from Fall clothing to Summer, aka exposed. But, I've been trying to get in the summer groove lately. Which inspired my newest kit

Hello, Creatives! YAH! Three Day weekend for most of us, who are off work for Memorial Day, and with pools opening up, and people getting ready for BBQ's things seem to be getting back to normal for fully vaccinated people! And so it inspired my newest kit in the shop this weekend! The Summer Splash Collection - is new in the shop this weekend with mixed elements, papers, journal cards, and an alpha set! And I hope with inspire you to document all those splash-able moments, t

Hello, Creatives! Is the weather getting any better where you are?! It was absolutely gorgeous outside for weeks in the spring here, but the rain has caused us to be inside for weeks! I've been trying to get spring cleaning done, but it still evades me. I've surprisingly gotten most of the closets cleaned out and the new office cubicles in place. I even went to Joanne Fabrics and picked up some fabric to cover the cushion for the office slipper chair. This past month I bough

Hello, Creatives! S0, how is everyone's Spring going? Is anyone still having cold weather? It's been warm here, and then rainy...so meh. But lately, I've been getting back into the swing of things with the self-love list that I created back in January. Maybe it's all the warm weather, or maybe it's just time to start on that list of intentions that I created on new years. A couple of years ago I dropped over 80lbs on Weight Watchers. I ate low carb and worked out almost every

Hello, Creatives! Wow, June is almost over? I can't believe it! With small holidays around the corner, summer continuing and the 4th coming I couldn't think of some better inspiration than a good old fashioned bbq! The Cookout collection is new this weekend with elements, papers, and journal cards. And Cookout is just that, a kit perfect for your small summer get-togethers, nights in the backyard, cooking on the grill, and kissing the cook! I added lots of Silhouette and cut

Hello, Creatives! How is everyone's summer going? Mine has been pretty busy actually. My husband and I have been busy redoing our yard, landscaping, and getting a contractor to upgrade a few external things on our home. Our little home was previously a rental, ugh, but we got a really great deal on the land and really are just feeling blessed in the decision that we made. Slowly over the past couple of years, like any couple, we have been going through our house painting, fix

Hello, Creatives! How is everyone holding up? While life seems to be speeding up again for some of us, I am still playing it safe at home. Summer this year is soo different from years past, but also in good ways too. Lately, my husband and I have been enjoying nights out on the porch when the humidity lifts, days in our yard landscaping, and buying new toys to get things done, like a new pressure washer to do the front deck. But, when I'm by myself, or up late at night with a
