When I saw this design on Susan Campfield’s website, I was in love! I have played around with this Flying Seagull design – at first because of the name and my love for all things beachy.

This Bunny is Dancing in the Rain!
And it is not raining men – it’s raining flowers! What could be better? What is that saying? “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.” And if this little guy isn’t a good example, I cannot imagine who could be. Our bunny is dancing READ MORE

A Rustic Harvest Easel Display…
It seems like Stampin’ Up! is always offering at least one “border print” in each season’s Designer Series Paper collection. For this fall’s Rustic Harvest, there is a beautiful confluence of chrysanthemums that are printed on a black background. (Is that like a “bevy of beauties”?) They are gorgeous – and they make a beautiful READ MORE
Pretty Flower Pots filled with Hues of Happiness
You may not recall seeing a picture of all the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Hues of Happiness DSP that I fussy cut a while back. Fussy cutting is one of those soothing activities of mine for in front of the TV binge watching a series – or a movie. I find it relaxing…but many READ MORE
