Today I want to highlight a newer tool I’ve been using, one that was given to me as a gift. It’s the Xyron create-a-sticker tool. With the recent addition of a Silhouette Portrait in my life, it was hard to adhere the small intricate letters and shapes onto my cards without destroying them when using a glue pen or glue stickers. Double sided tape and sticky tabs just didn’t...
Yesterday was the Linden Hills Festival where I had my first outside table for raindrop paperie. The day was absolutely gorgeous, I couldn't have been any more lucky. I want to thank all of those who stopped by my table, all my family and friends who came out to support me and my passion for anything paper! I'm already looking forward to my next shows (for sure one...

Again, this is a fairly simple and quick project, one that kids can help with as well. All you'll need is brown paper bags, washi tape and scissors. This project works well on a hard surface, for example a table or hard floor....
Why do I love cards? Why do I love creating cards? Why do I think it's so important to let others know what you are thinking and feeling? As an ISFJ, I am a nurturer. I care for others all the time. I am always thinking of others and striving to make someone have a happy day, to laugh and to just feel good about themselves. Creating cards has given...
Recently I have been very inspired by paper in various colors and pattens in designing and creating cards. There are so many wonderful, vibrant and rich colors in the world, and so many different ways to combine them. I believe we so often get used to the way that colors work together that we become comfortable and routine with color pairings. We associate colors with certain items in society or...
