At Creativation this year, I met up with some friends from the DCC {Designer Crafts Connection} group that I used to blog hop with. It was great seeing them and I realized that I hadn’t created a project with them for some time. It was time to get hopping again. This month’s project supplies were […]
Sweet Boho Animal Boxes
What do you get when you start with a versatile, self-closing box and add cute little animal faces? You get my sweet Animal Boxes by Sizzix of course! They are so simple to make and can be embellished to be used without the faces but the magic happens when you add the various eyes and […]
Travel Journal Page
I am more of a “wanderer” than a “traveler” so perhaps I should be creating a Wander Journal. The difference is that the eventual destination is more random in spite of pre-planning. But this hasn’t deterred me from starting a journal {which has been difficult to just decide what kind of journal to start}. Gathering […]
Last Minute Father’s Day Gift
Here’s a quick, last minute Father’s Day gift idea that costs very little. The inspiration came to me when I saw my coworkers pinning photos and drawings on their walls. I thought that there must be a better way to highlight the rotating gallery of art and photos without putting holes in the original pieces. […]
Thank You Notes of Gratitude
I hope people still appreciate thank you notes. It seems a bit of a lost art. I enjoy making and giving handmade thank you notes because I sincerely feel gratitude for the thoughtfulness of others. I made a handful of these little cards and it took me longer to write the sentiment inside than it […]

DIY Custom Gold Sizzix Lettering Tote
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. Between work and the holidays, I have been busier than usual but the fact is… a Makers Gonna Make no matter how busy. I’ve had a few days to relax and unwind so I decided to create a fun tote bag using my Sizzix Alphabet script dies and […]
Bindable Dies by Sizzix
They say that necessity is the mother of invention and so it goes with my new Bindable dies that I designed for Sizzix. These dies create edges so that they snap into the binding of various planners and notebooks. I created a quick video to explain how it works because words cannot describe the simplicity […]

Embroidered Felt Flower Pillow
This month’s Designer Crafts Connection theme is Favorite Designer Products. As it so happens, my Home Décor Ampersand die from Sizzix has just been released and is currently my favorite designer product. I’ve already shown a project I made using the large Ampersand here so I wanted to show the versatility of this die set by […]
