I want to be the type of person who chronicles every day in a scrapbook or planner or journal. Reality check…I’m not. I might do it a few days, then miss a bunch, then do it again, but by March, I am usually so far behind that I never pick it up again. But what I [...]

Art journaling is all about capturing moments for me. And sometimes, I want to get the date in there. But there is a catch. I generally dislike my handwriting so I’ve created a stencil that solves this issue for me, the Never Ending Calendar stencil in 4×4 and 6×6 sizes for StencilGirl. Plus, I have [...]
What am I sharing for this week’s Let’s Play link party? Plop, plop, but no fizz fizz, but oh what a relief play is…okay I might be a little slap happy from the play…As I was playing with a little Gelli Plate® and a stencil, I got the most wonderful thrill plopping it right on the paper. In [...]
Ever since I saw Maria McGuire’s Butterfly and Butterfly Duo stencils I wanted to make a book out of them. Well, I finally did it! And along the way…made a few Oopsies but one totally pushed me to use a tool in my studio that I try to avoid at all costs! You can see [...]
What’s my play for this week’s Let’s Play link party? It was inspired by a little Black Friday shopping when I impulsively bought some ribbon on super sale. And some clear glitter. This is the season for glitter! But when using glitter, you need a way to make it stick. But I am impatient and [...]

It’s Tuesday and that means a new Let’s Play link party for all of us to share what we’ve been creating! What play have I been up to? I’ve been making a plan and then not following it. The plan came about while I was checking out the all the fun stuff shared in last week’s [...]
“Can I go over to Christi’s house?” “Can Maria come over?” As a kid, I was always asking to go to a friends house or to have a friend or two come over. Now I am an adult and I still want to play! So I am interrupting my grown up day for a little play! [...]
I am absolutely addicted to the fineline applicator. Why? Because it lets me write on just about anything in any color I want. The way the tip is designed, it doesn’t clog which is critical for me because I am not willing to clean. Not one of these has clogged on me yet. Beth Figiel [...]
Want to print words on a Gelli® print? If you’ve ever tried it, you might have learned the way I did…with a great big Oops! Text is reversed on a Gelli print®. If you’re using a stencil with words that just means flip the stencil over. But what if you want stamped words. Stamps don’t flip [...]
