Actually this post is not about a creative block but about lots of creativity in block form. Today I have a new ScrapBLOCK release and also a fun wall art tutorial for the CLASSroom featuring square BLOCK canvases.

Here’s the new Scrapblock…

Calendar Year Scrapblock

I can’t wait to show you some fun ways to use it. A couple of the projects I made with it were picked up and I’ve been so under the weather that I haven’t managed to create some more.Hopefully soon!

Family Wall Art

Here’s a project I had so much fun creating for the CLASSroom. As you may know, I’m on a bit of a home dec kick right now and thought this would be a great project to play around with. Tutorial and step outs can be found here.

We have a busy weekend planned working on my craft room. I can’t wait until I can move in!

Have a wonderful weekend!

With American Thanksgiving around the corner, I thought today would be a great time to have a being thankful challenge. I know that Canadians, me included, have already celebrated in October…it’s good to be thankful all year. This challenge doesn’t necessarily be Thanksgiving related…feel free to make some thank you cards or even a thankful journal. Play along with the challenge here.

Time 2 Give Thanks

This card is also a sneak peek at tomorrow’s Scrapblock release, Calendar Scrapblock. I has blocks of all twelve months on it making it perfect for a birthday list, scrapbook layouts, even birthday cards. This card is a bit of everything collaged together.

Baby Dear

Coming Soon

I just couldn’t resist doing a vintage design with this little stork image and some Jenni Bowlin goodies. The soft yellows and greens make it perfect for either gender.

Fresh From God

Truly…the button and the paper on this card DO match. I’m not sure what is up with how the light was hitting that button!

Sorry so short but I’m still on the mend!

Take care!

I’m back stamping! And I’m so excited to share a sneak peek of my latest stamp set with you. I have to admit, this one is my favorite. I’ve been wanting a vintage baby set for so long and then actually had the opportunity to design one myself. This set is near and dear to my heart. I love being a mom and I love babies. There is just nothing like them. I’m probably going to sound a little over the top when I say this but designing a stamp set is a lot like giving birth. There’s joy and pain and effort, time and so much patience and if you want to create great set, you put your heart and soul into it as well. This set is my last for the moment and it’s definitely a labor of love. Hope you like. Here’s a little peek…

Rock a Bye Baby

Have a beautiful day!

It’s just one day till Halloween and I wanted to have a little masking fun. I didn’t dress up and I didn’t even create a Halloween project but I DID create my own custom magnetic reusable mask and make another Christmas card. I’ve written a tutorial for the CLASSroom today and I hope it will make you take a look at your dies and punches and think of new ways to use them. You can find the tutorial here…

Happy Friday!
