Just released TODAY... Stampin' Up created a card-making application, and it is called Simply Sent! This iPhone app allows customers to create an e-card-from a template or completely on their own-and send it via e-mail or post it on Facebook. And it's free! While it is not My Digital Studio on a mobile device, it will certainly give you a very small taste of all of the fun and creative

Life has been kind of crazy for me lately. My blog posts have been few and far between, but I am back on my game now and plan on posting more regularly again.  Thanks for your patience! I return with a Wonderfall card that I created for my boss.  While he has been as busy and as behind as me, he is still wanting to send thank you cards to the awesome people that made donations for our

Although paper trimmers are a common crafting tool, this trimmer was designed exclusively by paper crafters for paper crafters-and because it was made by Stampin' Up!, you know it's a cut above the rest!

I wanted to share another one of my fun little projects I made to sell at my November vendor event.  If these are a hit, I plan on making some Christmas ones for a craft show I am participating in on December 1st.  Let me know what you think!! I found these cute little hand sanitizers at Bath & Body, and was thrilled that they coordinated so well with our Orchard Harvest DSP.&

As promised on my last blog... I wanted to share another one of my fun projects for upcoming vendor events.  This one was fun and SO easy... AND it had tasty perks.  While making them, I "accidentally" tore two packs of Rolos, so my fellow croppers and I just had to eat them. A Christmas Greeting with something for Eating...  What?  Did I say Rolos???&nbsp

I have been so busy with work (my job that pays the bills) and getting ready for a vendor event with my fun job :-), that I have failed to keep up on my blog posts.   It isn't that I am not being creative and taking some therapy time for myself, I just haven't shared it.  Something I need to work on... scheduling and prioritizing. Well, I return today as a guest blogger on Mary

Welcome to day four of sharing my Bootiful cards from our Bootiful Occasions stamp set.  As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I can't see this stamp set without thinking of my beautiful friend in Dallas, TX.   She wears her boots like no other.  Here she is at an Eric Church concert.                &

For the past two days I have been sharing a card I made with the Bootiful Occasions stamp set.   So far, we have seen Halloween and a Rainy Day.  Today I wanted to share one of my favorites... Warm Winter Wishes. The pearls started because I felt that there was too much empty space under the words... but they quickly became a necessary addition to the boot laces, an addition that

Yesterday I posted the first of four cards I made with the Bootiful Occasions stamp set.  I finished all the cards up today, my last full day of vacation in Branson.   As my second card share, I decided on this one, my husband's pick of the four.  This one really tested my patience at 11:00 Friday night, but mainly because I am a perfectionist, and had to have just the right colors

While I am having a beautiful and relaxing vacation with my hubby, I decided to play with my Bootiful Occasions Stamp Set.  For the next four days I will showcase a card with a different boot each day!  Hope you enjoy, and are having a Bootiful Weekend!!!                                    Since

Hope you are having a great week.  I know I am!!!  My hubby and I are vacationing in Branson, MO.  So far, we have went to the Butterfly Palace, Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, and did the Branson Zipline Canopy Tour on Thursday!!!!   In addition, I am getting lots of crafting done, while Brad is out taking nature pictures. Speaking of which, I finally got my 2nd project

One of my projects on my "to do" list this week is a baby card for my friend Amanda.  She just had a beautiful baby boy last week, and I didn't get it done before leaving on vacation. It was so much fun working with my Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies for the first time today!!  I can think of so many cards I can make with them, but for now, I think this was a good start.  Of

My second friend's share this week is a couple of cards that I made at a recent scrapbook crop.  These were make and take cards with Karen Herrmann.  You can go here to check out Karen's blog and projects. Karen used used some of our beautiful new DSP for the two cards that she designed for us to make.  While I made what you are looking at, they were inspired by her!!

My Therapy is a name that suits my paper crafting hobby well.  While my husband, and some others, have wondered about me using the name Therapy in my blog name, I have insisted on it.   Just today, an article was brought to my attention by a fellow Stampin' Up demonstrator.  It is called The Therapeutic Value of Art Forms, and I have included a small piece of it below.

While vacationing in Branson, MO, I am taking a couple of days to "play" and catch up with some projects.  My hubby is a nature photographer, and is taking advantage of our location to go out and find some great photo opportunities.  Like landscape and nature photography?  You can check out his work at www.bradmangasphoto.com Anyhow, here is my latest project...

While I am on vacation I thought it would be fun to showcase some great work by some awesome ladies. For my first "share" I would like to show you a couple of cute cards I won in a Quarter Mania from my upline and friend, Sherrie Gross.  You can check out more of Sherrie's creations on her blog...

I have seen tons of project made with our great new Halloween Paper, Howlstooth and Scaringbone, along with the fun Googly Ghouls stamp set, but this is my first card creation. The sketch layout, in the Pals Paper Arts (PPA143) challenge, was my inspiration. And I just had to show off my awesome new Witch Hat purchase when I photographed the card.  It was a great find at TJ Maxx last week

Did I mention how much I love challenges?  Not only life challenges, but card challenges as well!!!  I came up with a card this week, to work with two current challenges, in an attempt to get as many in as possible before I leave on vacation. I am just loving Naki & Nena's Double Dare Challenge, and this one is #5. They each a rule, unknowing to each other until it is announced.&
