Mother's Day approaches

I love love love creating special cards for the superwomen in our lives! My mom has been there through thick and thin.  She had been there to dry my years and to celebrate life's milestones. Now, being a mother of three I understand all of the sacrifices she has made. Between all of the time and love she poured into our dinners and the strength she mustered up to get us through difficult times she is, and will always be, my hero. 

Giveback #sharesunshine

I can't wait to print these and start creating!!!  All proceeds from this initiative go directly to
The World Health Organization’s COVID-Solidarity Response Fund and/or United Way Worldwide’s COVID-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund. 

These are so awesome!!!! Stay tuned for new designs!!!

Out with the old and in with the new!

This is my favourite/worst time of the year.  The Stampin'up annual catalogue is coming to a close and as such things are retiring.  All of the Designer series paper is leaving and so are many stampsets, bundles, punches, ribbons and embellishments! 
Get your wishlist items while you can, these things are only while supplies last!

Kards for frontline workers

Wanted to make some kards to go with the ear savers! 

Sewing for Kindness -Saving Ears

So far I have finished 45 and given 20 to the a labour and delivery nurses! They are great and totally take the pressure off the ears from the masks. I'm so excited to drop these off to paramedic HQ but if you know someone who could use one of these let me know ☺️

Sewing for Kindness

This weekend I went through some things and long story short it ended in an ambulance ride. I'm ok. I have a pulmonary embolism but I am on meds and will get better. During my trip I asked thee paramedics what they need during this crazy time and after some discussion I discovered that they need relief from the masks they wear all day, everyday. So, I remember seeing nurses and posts about wearing a band with buttons on the back so that the mall attaches to that and not their ears. So, I got to sewing and have sewn over 100 and will drop them off to EMS Hedda quarters by Friday. 

Krafting for Kindness is the best kind of krafting!

Getting Ready

Tomorrow my on-line store will open and although I am super excited I am also a little nervous. What if they don't like it? What if no one byes anything? What if the store isn't ready? To all of these fears I say... Take a breath, you like it that's all that matters and everything that needs to be ready will be. 

I've been working hard to make sure there is a variety of kard kits to choose from and I think it's gonna be a great opening!  

See you there!

My new machine!!!

Okay, so after doing my BOGO sale and other sales I reached my goal and was able to buy my new brother scan and cut machine.  Introducing....Beatrice my cut machine!!! Yes, I do name my tools.

The first time I tried it, it was a major fail! The paper for stuck, it cut through the mat and it was a mess. So, I washed my Mat with warm water and dish soap and tried it again. This time I read and followed the instructions and it worked! After that, I was hooked. I learned how to cut in adhesive vinyl and thanks to my friend Jolene I also cut in heat transfer vinyl! 

This is only the tip of the iceberg, I can't wait to learn more. 

Personalized chair pockets...done!

Stamping to the rescue!

So, I have to share this! I'm too excited. This is a game changer!

Davis was freaking out about dressing difficult things like bunnies for his reading response today. So, instead of fighting we went down into my Kraftorium and picked out stamps that would work. 

Then, he stamped his picture... And we had a blast! 

Stamping to the rescue!!!
