It's just a couple days into March and the dear CS members are just receiving their Sonoma kits, not to mention the Sonoma goodies just went online in GHM today!! We had such a fun pre-March scurry here at CS to make up a couple projects using the brand new collection. I enjoyed creating these little projects for the Scrap Rap so why not do a March/Sonoma themed blog. The first Sonoma

Hello Club Stampers! Have you checked out your Feb. Club Stamp kit yet?

Here is the Long Stitch Album, a done project on top of an undone project, it's always fun to see the transformation.
This stitched book allows for one of my favorite things, chunky pages!!!! Shells, coins, little bottles, Scrabble tiles, dimensional flowers, beads, anything that is chunky can be used as an embellishment on

The Olympics have been on the TV at my house every night since opening ceremonies. Wanting to be near my family and all of the Olympic action, I decided to create some Whirligig cards on the table in front of the couch rather than in my overstuffed craft room.
I brought up my trimmer, a binder of stamps, ink, my ALCM Idea Deck, adhesive, Scor-it Board and a few other odds and ends. (Sticking with

I know its been some time since I blogged...but I've been very busy (in a good way!) with our 17 new Crafters, PSL (go 'Bossers!), and more. Even though I'm coaching a scrapbooking team on PSL, lately I've been enjoying instant gratification making cards. The past Scrap Raps are just loaded with tons of inspiration and awesome techniques...I've just been dying to try them!
Here are a few of the

So glad I got the chance to put together a few layouts using our new Michael Strong Whirligig Collection. What can I say, the colors are great and the designs are great, just an all around great combo.

I put the above layout "Mosaic Fun" together using the Retro Whirligig Collection. By where I live, we have this cool little shop that is within walking distance that has ceramic painting, mosaic

It's been a fun month at Club Scrap. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all of the gorgeous Castaway materials. I got to make some pretty cool projects with Kay, and I also got to take some techniques for a test drive.
CS Member Hetty Sanders proposed a fun technique that is created with the use of bleach. I've used bleach before, but typically when I do a load of whites. And I also got to

but I just can't help myself!
Here I am. All alone at the printer's, in my own little corner, in my own little chair at the far end of a pretty substantial conference table (you're not feelin sorry for me, are ya?). I'm working my little heart out, doing whatever I do to help make papercrafters everywhere happy. My mission? Press checks. That's designer/printer lingo for camping out at the

Last November, my Grandparents celebrated their 55th Wedding Anniversary! The family all got together to celebrate and obviously lots of pictures were taken. My Grandma put some pictures in a scrapbook album from their 50th anniversary and just continued to add the pictures from the 55th. A couple weeks ago I was visiting and saw it. I told my her it needed some color (it was just the

I had the privilege of running a half marathon last fall with my husband, brother and step-daughter. It was Amanda's first half marathon, and it's a pretty extraordinary moment to cross that finish line for the very first time. The event photographer snapped this photo as they were about to complete their 13.1-mile journey, and we couldn't order the 5x7 fast enough. Once it arrived, I
