Does it matter? I don't care if you have the creativity of a warthog, you still have the ability to make a beautiful gift.
Whether you want to give a thoughtful card, or share your photos and memories with your children, if you have two hands with opposable thumbs you can make these things.
Stampin' Up! provides stamps so you never have to draw, Designer Series paper so you never have to try to put your own colors together, and the most fabulous and easy-to-use tools.
Hundreds of blogs and websites exist to give you ideas, layouts, designs, and technique tutorials.
But most of all, putting it all together is my job. I am your personal coach when it comes to papercrafting, and I am awesome at what I do.
So I dare you to be the least creative person on earth. I can help you make projects you will be proud to give away - and your recipients will be touched to receive. It's not about how creative you can be. It's about making someone happy with your hand made, beautiful, greeting cards and scrapbook pages.
Easter and Mother's Day Class
Join me on the 23rd at 2:00pm at my house to make six simple cards. For April we will be using the paper Elegant Soiree, with its spring-like colors of earthy browns and cheerful blues. Perfect for Easter, Mother's Day, birthdays, "get well", or just "thinking of you", these cards will be great to have on hand.

June - Summertime and Picnics class
This month we will make four different 12"x12" scrapbook pages with a summertime theme. Each layout will be easily reproducible with other stamps and papers, so make four pages in class and more at home. I will also talk about scrapbooking for non-scrappers. Class fee will be $15 or a $25 catalog order. Please sign up by June 16th so I can order your supplies.
Celebrate May Day this year by surprising others with these cute May baskets. These little baskets are perfect for holding a handful of treats and leaving anonymously on co-workers' desks or neighbors' front porches.
This month book me for a private class and I will show you and your friends how to make this adorable basket and a matching card. These would also be perfect for a wedding or party favors.
Color Challenge
It's April - Happy Birthday to me and all my other April birthday friends! This month I chose a color combination which looks bright, happy, and energetic. Try making a project using Concord Crush, So Saffron, and Pear Pizzazz.
Here's a tip- always keep some white ribbon on hand, like this 5/8" organza ribbon (item #114319). When you need ribbon of a specific color, just dye the ribbon by rubbing it on a Classic ink pad, or color it with Stampin' Up! markers (shown here). Concord Crush ribbon is available, but I don't have any so I made my own using this method.
Birthdays, baby showers, and weddings are all good excuses to have cake. Now you can have this cake and eat one too! These mini cakes are fun as gifts, party favors, or table decor. They are made with an LED tea light, scraps of paper, and a 1-3/4" scallop circle punch. They can be ornate like this wedding cake, or quick and easy like the birthday cake.
Tip: If you want to make a lot of cakes, I suggest using a Simply Scrappin' kit. With patterned paper and matching decorative borders you can decorate an LED cake in a snap. To make the center hole, use a hand held hole puncher and punch several holes as close to the center as you can, to make one larger, centered hole. Ask me to demonstrate!
