Hi Crafty Friends! Today I'm sharing one of my favorite projects, a pair of samplers. This is a gift for dear friends we visit every summer who have a lakeside cottage. The idea for these has been floating around in my head since last summer. They tell the story of a very wonderful place!

The bottom layer of white cardstock is 9" x 9" and the Pool Party cardstock layer on top of that is 8-1/2" x 8-1/2". Each…

This project came about because of the Spring sampler we made earlier in the…

A Spring Sampler with Stampin' Up's Parisian Blossoms Suite Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. I love when we take the dog for a walk around the neighborhood and all the pretty flowers are on the trees. These products and this sampler celebrate that special time of year. OK, I know there's no Eiffel Tower in my neighborhood, but this die is so pretty I had to use it. And I am dreaming of seeing it in person one day. Measurements: Whisper White, 9 x 9 Basic Grey, 8 1/2 x 8 1/2…
