Okay, confession time. This is not the card I had in mind when I bought these sheets of Christmas phrases. This card is actually better, but it took me awhile to get there!

Anyway, Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year to use rubber stamps. There are literally thousands of beautiful Christmas and holiday stamps available this time of year, so it's … [Read more...]
This morning on the Today Show, they were discussing if it is 'ok' to recycle gifts. (Here's the Today Show article, and their rules for regifting.) I typically don't recycle gifts, but I am guilty of recycling gift cards. This is the season for gift cards, so if you have stamping or scrapbooking supplies... this one is for you. Let me start off by saying that I'm not a bad person. I really appreciate someone giving me a gift card. Here's the issue - if I have a $50 Target card … [Read more...]
Your kids can help with this card idea - using a snowflake punch, 'make' some snowflakes that they can glue to cards to create their own designs for giving to friends, teachers, or anyone else who is special in their life.
