The perfect card for your graduate!

   I'm one of those people who carefully reads every card they receive and saves them. No lie, I think I probably still have just about every card I've ever received ... and then some. I don't know what I plan to do with them, even though I have included some of the cards we got for our wedding in our wedding scrapbook, but I just can't seem to let them go.    And, then there are those people on the opposite side of the spectrum - like my sister. I have quit making her cards because I told her once that I didn't get her card made, and I would mail it to her. She told me not to bother as she would just throw it away. I suppose I should have made and sent her one anyway, to maybe give her at least a moment of joy, but I didn't want to after that remark.    I'm also one of those people who will spend a very long time reading every card in the store, or looking through my stash, looking for just the perfect card. Sometimes I find it, and sometimes I sett...

Hand-made cards anyone?

   I'm sitting here trying to motivate myself to go work out - not sure how typing on my blog is supposed to do that, but I have high hopes.    As soon as I get done working out, I have big plans to go downstairs to my crafting "cave," as my husband loves to call it, and finish the 25 cards I started at my Close to My Heart meeting on Saturday, and maybe even make 25 more before I have to go to work. I know that sounds ambitious, but actually, I have a handy dandy workshop that someone in CTMH has designed that makes it super quick!   You  may think that 50 cards sounds like a lot, and I would agree that it does, but ironically enough, with all the cards I make for others and to sell at B Inspired!, I don't have any stock of my own. And even after I make up this stock I probably won't want to use them because I am of the mind that for each person's birthday/anniversary/graduation/etc. I need to make a special card just for them. So most times I'll end up...

What's in a Name?

   Are you proud of your name? Would you like to show it off? Or do you need something to decorate your walls or give as a baby gift?    I have a project for you! This versatile project is good for any person or name! I first saw this project when a fellow consultant posted something like it on the company bulletin board. Then, I made my friend Sonya one for the birth of her baby boy. Isn't this Animal Cookies paper just perfect for a baby boy? After that, I decided I liked them so much I made one for myself. And just recently, I finally hung it on my wall! I love the Emporium paper !    And now I've made them for all occasions. I made one for my father-in-law for Christmas that said "Wright Racing." It had stickers, racing paper and stamped racing images. I also made a couple for friends for Christmas, using their last name. (hopefully I'll post pictures of these soon).    These wonderful projects are quite easy - pick a...
