Moments In Time Stamp of the Month

There's still time to get January's stamp of the month. This project is made using this fabulous set of stamps to make a hanging "tear-off" style calendar. You simply stamp each month on a 2x2 inch piece of paper and fix with some fastener like a brad or staple and each month gets torn off as time passes. I really hope Liz enjoys this gift she's getting for her birthday. Today is her 29th birthday - I love it when she catches up to me!

My Holiday Layouts

Yes, I'll be doing one for every month... Just like Joseph's book.

Christmas Already?

I know it's been awhile since I posted but I've been a single mom lately five days a week so I really haven't had much time for my paper crafting habit lately. I did make these simple Christmas cards though while I was trying to get inspired for my Christmas card workshop I'm hoping to hold this month or next. I hope you'll be there!!
