Stampin' With Michelle Pepper

The Alphabet Rotary Stamp has once again come to my rescue! I needed a farewell card for a Canadian family from our local Homeschool Group relocating to California. I know, right? Among the many options for a theme (floral or scenery with an inspirational sentiment, to cutesy with "Miss you already" or "You'll be missed"), I eventually opted for this adorable punch art sheep card, because after all, New Zealand is known as a land of sheep. So thanks to the Stampin' Up!'s Alphabet Rotary Stamp, I was able to create the perfect sentiment for the sheep card - "Baa Bye" - clever me! Here is what you will need to re-create this adorable sheep: 1-3/4" Scallop Circle Punch (#119854) 1" Circle Punch (#119868) 1/2" Circle Punch (#119869) Owl Builder Punch (#118074) Cupcake Builder Punch (#121807) Word Window Punch (#119857)  Whisper White cardstock (#106549) Basic Black cardstock (#121688) Silver Glimm...

The Large Number Framelits is another must have from the Occasions Catalogue. We all need numbers in our life, don't you think? :-) The first time I made my own planner was in 2013, and I loved loved loved it. For the last couple of years, after I have eventually transitioned to owning and using a smartphone, I guess you could say I became a digital planner. But I missed my paper planner. I found myself still reaching out for a piece of scrap paper - any piece of scrap I can find! - and pen to make a to do list from time to time, usually immediately followed by a sense of being in control. So I decided I need a planner this year. I just love paper too much, and making your own planner is a great excuse to buy and use pretty paper. Well, in my case, to use some of the papers I have in my collection! Besides the kind of bought planners I seem to be drawn to are spendy, easily carrying a price tag of $50 upwards. Making my own with what I already have seems like a very sen...

I am not sure how I feel about Facebook but I do like the fact that it notifies me when it is is my FB friends' birthday! Well, turned out that it was my neighbour's birthday yesterday, and I wished her Happy Birthday online, but that seemed to me to be so unfriendly because, well, you know, she is my neighbour!! So glad that I am in the business of card making and have all the supplies I need to make a card and a gift box to take to her and wish her Happy Birthday in person -with a hug. When you are pressed for time yet you want to create something beautiful, you can't go wrong with beautiful patterned paper from Stampin' Up!'s range of Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I can highly recommend the Wildflower Fields DSP, which is yours for FREE during Sale-a-bration time, when you spend $110. I am so happy to finally make one of these endlessly popular self closing boxes. It is honestly such a cool little box that has a generous capacity, room for all thos...
