If you know me, you know that I LOVE plants – especially tropical ones. Monsteras are my favorites, and I have 4 in my apartment (with plenty of room for more!) As you can imagine, I was thrilled when I saw the latest Essentials by Ellen release – specifically the Tropical Foliage stamp and die […]
What’s the one kind of card you always find yourself needing more of? For me, it’s birthday cards, and it just so happens they’re my favorite kind to make! If you feel the same, you’re in luck – the April 2023 Essentials by Ellen release just went live today, and it’s alllllll about birthdays, cake […]
Back when I was living in LA, my friends and I didn’t do very much entertaining or hosting. There were so many places to go that it just seemed odd to hang out in our apartments.

I truly cannot believe that it’s December, nor can I believe how fast time has been flying these days. That said, this girl is more than ready for the holidays. Today I’m super excited to be participating in Day 6 of the Ellen Hutson 12 Tags of Christmas, with a tag inspired by the song […]
The holidays are right around the corner, and with that comes gift giving. I’m not sure about you, but I get a LOT of joy out of the process of preparing gifts of all kinds, from handmade ones to the kind that are carefully thought out and shopped for. While ideas always seem to be […]
May might be best-known in the card making world as the month of Mother’s Day, but did you know it’s also Mental Health Awareness Month? I don’t know about you, but crafting has been a HUGE lifesaver for my mental health over the past couple of years. Whether it was during the long, dark COVID […]
Earlier this week I shared a bunch of holiday gift tags created with the recent Pigment Craft Co release, and today I’ve got a little non-holiday, any-time-of-year set to share. I don’t know about you, but if someone were to give me a gift with a tag that coordinates with a card, I’d be thinking […]
