Beautifully Baroque

I have a new set of cards up for sale on my Storenvy shop. I used the Beautifully Baroque stamp to create these lovelies. Check them out:

This stamp looks fab in any color. It's easily one of my favorites; I'm so glad I added it to my collection!

Beautifully Baroque in Baked Brown Sugar reminds me of a henna tattoo. Gorgeous!

***Just a reminder: You only have until Monday 3/31/14 to get your free Sale-a-bration products. Hurry over to my Stampin' Up! store and place your order before it's too late!

Good morning! Just a quick note - I now have some Easter/spring-themed nail decals over on my shop at Storenvy. These nail decals are great to give as gifts or to put in those plastic Easter eggs instead of candy! They are so cute and easy to apply. Head over to my store to find out more:

Fix The Parts

I don't know about you but I do my best thinking in the shower and this morning was no different. I currently have a relationship with someone which is in need of repair. For months I have had an internal dialog with myself on how to do that. I even get into yelling matches with myself at times. Well, today I had an epiphany of sorts. I was dialoguing with myself when suddenly I heard: "You cannot repair the whole until you fix the parts."  I'm pretty sure I had similar thoughts over the last few months but for some reason this voice in my head today was much louder than most. I believe I have my answer on how to fix this relationship - I must first fix me.

May your relationships run smoothly,

So I have this amazing electronic cutting machine called a Silhouette and I finally got around to using it this week. I also figured out a way to use digital downloads from Stampin' Up! with the machine. It's magical! I have so many things I want to do now. Card making and scrapbooking just got taken to a whole new level! I can't wait to get my craft room set up so I can really start doing some damage!

Anyhoo, I tried making some nail decals using Stampin' Up! digital files which I cut with my Silhouette onto vinyl. A-mazing! I played around with several designs and here's what I have so far:
