PaperCrafts
Insider vs. Outsider
In the car on the way to a scrapbook retreat, my friend Amy asked me if I would ever consider speaking about crafting on a podcast similar to the Paperclipping Roundtable discussion we had been listening to… and I told her that I wasn’t really qualified to do so: that I wouldn’t want to sound […]

I was recently thinking about “out of the box” ways to use the scrapbooking supplies that I have on hand. One of the popular things I’ve seen lately is to create cards using the Sizzix Scallop Die… so I thought I would see what would happen if I tried that concept on other dies I […]

Pink Cupcakes
