It's a brand new month with a brand new release over at Unity Stamp Co.!

2026 Christmas Card Count = 20 + 3 = 23

I am loving this new mixed media background floral stamp from Unity Stamp Co.!

 Absolutely LOVE colouring right onto a rubber stamp with my distress watercolour pencils!

2025 Christmas Card Count: 6 + 4 = 10

 With another set of swimming lessons complete, I wanted to whip up some thank you cards for the boys swimming instructors.

 I had such a fun time putting these cards together! I took my crafting supplies out to a party and pulled some little helpers to play around with the inks too. They had a blast creating backgrounds and then making them into cards.

 Closing off my 2024 Christmas cards with Mr. Frostie!

Christmas Card Count: 32 + 8 = 40

 A friend asked if I would host a Christmas card making class and I couldn't resist making it cocktail themed with this incredible set from Spellbinders!

Christmas Card Count: 23 + 3 = 26

 It's our baby's 4th birthday today! I was given a lot of requests for this card...unicorns, rainbows, ice cream, blue, volanoes...I managed to fit all but one in!

 It's a special little girl's birthday today and she happens to love ice cream, so I couldn't help but make up an ice cream for her to celebrate!

 It's Harvey's birthday today! This summer we listened to the audio book of the first Harry Potter book, then watched the movie, and now we're reading the book and Harvey is just loving it all!

 Harvey had a birthday party to go to this past month and I couldn't wait to take out my Build-a-Castle set for it. I am linking up with the Lawn Fawnatics "all things birthday" challenge.

 It's my crafty friend, Tammy's, birthday this week and I couldn't wait to make up her birthday card!

 Harvey has been in swimming lessons for the past few weeks, so with it ending this week I wanted to make up a card to thank his swim instructor! 

 It's back-to-school this week and our son Harvey is off to 1st grade! We have been reading lots of picture books about going back to school (including this fantastic new read from the fun crayon series) and I wanted to make up some cards for his friends and new teacher.

 Good morning! I am up on the Studio Katia Blog this morning getting a jump start on my Christmas card stash. With all of the Christmas in July inspiration out this month, I decided to take out one of my favourite Studio Katia Christmas sets: Merry Poinsettia. I tried out the following technique so that I could make four coordinating cards all at once.

Harvey really wanted to make some Christmas tags with me this year for Chris and Alex.

 I am loving playing around with these mica sprays! I made a tag the other day and loved it so much I wanted to make some cards.

 Let these be my most intricate, time-consuming Christmas cards of 2022! I don't know why I do this to myself! These cards took FOREVER! Though I am pleased with the results :).

I started out by wanting to create a pinkish winter sky with the Stencilscapes Winter from The Greetery. I had seen something similar from Angelica Conrad on the design team and chose my own colour palette of Saltwater Taffy + Tattered Rose + Cracked Pistachio + Pine Needles + Ground Espresso + Lumberjack Plaid distress oxide ink.

 It's my baby's 2nd birthday today!

*update* I am thrilled to be featured on the Lawn Fawn blog this week!

 Our little friend had to do something really brave recently, so I made up this fun mermaid slider card to send along with her. I wanted to create an "under the sea" theme and started making my background with Uncharted Mariner distress spray. This was my first time experimenting with it!
