How blessed I am to have such great stampin’ buddies!  Today a small group of us got together to *stamp*.  Ok, it was mostly to chat, very little stamping occurred.  Joy and Daisy just got the brand new Cricut (a demo model) that will be available in June at eclectic Paperie. They brought it over and […]

As I was going through my card stash looking for something to mail to a friend today, I came across a card I made last year that I really liked that was made with a Kaleidacolor Pad.  I have a fairly extensive collection of K-pads and SU Spectrum pads and have always loved them, but […]
