I loved this quirky little set the minutes I set eyes on it – after all who doesn’t like chickens? So today I wanted to share this fun card that Jackie gave me in my recent swap.
Every time I look at it it makes me smile – how about you? Who could resist this fun little chick peeking out from the picket fence.
I thought you might enjoy learning how to make these quick and easy picket fences so you can make this little card too – so today’s video tutorial shows you just that!
Quick & Easy Picket Fences Video Tutorial:
What did I tell you – these are soooo easy to make! And Jackie simply cut a slit with her personal trimmer in the fence to tuck her chick into.
I’ve given you the supply list below in case you wanted to know the other supplies too.

Here is my alternate idea for the bag – I wanted a bit more room. So I simply cut down on the top flaps to close the bag flat and make it into a little box.

Dragonfly Dreams has been one of the most popular bundles in the Occasions Catalog. And when you see the lovely cards it can make you’ll know why.
This card uses a wonderful watercolor wash background created with our reinkers and Aqua Painter. The simplicity of this card is just wonderful I think.And I fell in love with this background as soon as I saw it – teals and water colored tones are some of my favorite colors so I was thrill when Cara shared with me how she made this background on her swap. If you would like to see how to create this background too I’ve made a quick video for you.

You know me, when I ran across the cutest post it note pad for Valentine’s Day I couldn’t resist making a little treat with it! And since it made me immediately think of the new Sealed with Love stamp set, that is what I grabbed during my recent Team Retreat to create with.
Here is what I came up with.
So what do you think? Cute?
And I love that this little post it note holder holds these cute little pens I found at Staples. I know you want to see how I made them, so here you go my latest tutorial.

Do you have a hard time keeping those double case stamp sets together? Don’t like keeping track of the rubber band that come with double case sets? I know mine always get lost on in my crafting space.
We’ll if you want a quick and simple tip for keeping those cases together wait no more! My friend Lorraine shared this easy trick with me and I thought it was so great I wanted to share it with you right away! (Yes, I know – this is one of those videos I found cleaning up my computer. LOL!)
Check out my video tutorial below – it’s quick and easy!
How cool is that? All you need to get organized is some clear packing tape and your set!

Don’t you love the combination of Sweet Sugarplum and Soft Sky used in the Fancy Frost Suite of products found on page 36 &37 of the Holiday Catalog? Well I do – these soft colors call out to me, but then to be honest I’ve loved all the products in this suite!
Want to see what I did with them?
I’ve created a shaker card – soooo much fun and so easy to do with the Foam Adhesive Strips (141825)!
And of course what did I fill the shaker card with? Our beautiful Fancy Frost Sequins (142519) of course! Added a cute little bow made of our our 3/8″ Glitter Ribbon Combo Pack and I’m ready for the holidays.
Want to see how I did the Shaker Frame? Check out this quick little video I made – How to Create Shaker Frames.

I love to make gifts and what could be more practical than a post it note holders – I don’t know about you, but I have a ton of these little pads laying around my work spaces at home. LOL! Who would have back in the 80’s thought these little pads would become so every day! Don’t you wish you had invented them? I digress – so any way without further adieu here it is
I really love the way these turned out – so much so I’m making them for the Bazaar I’m doing this Saturday. So why not stop by this Saturday at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Mission Bazaar in Gainesville and say hi? You can find more information about the event HERE on my Calendar of Events.

Caring with Cards & the Ronald McDonald House
Last Saturday I was able to drop all those cards we’ve stamped together at my Caring with Cards events into the basket at the Atlanta On Stage event. Thanks to all those new and seasoned stampers who joined me in making a difference!
Almost 200 cards were stamped between April and the event. Wow!!! It was great to see the basket over flowing! These cards will be distributed to the Ronald McDonald Houses across the nation so that those families who are staying there can use them during their stay as a need arises.
Would you like to help make a difference? Why not join me at my next Caring with Cards event – it is free and all the cards we stamp together will be donated to the RMH and the Red Cross Holiday for Heroes programs!
How can you join in the fun? Just stop by the Clarkesville Library on November 15th between 2 and 3 pm. You can see all my events HERE on my Calendar of Events.

Next, I realized this weekend I hadn’t shared anything about the Fall Day Retreat and there were some cute items I made for it. And I wanted to make sure I shared this with you since I have some video tutorials to go with the projects! Anyhow, I love pampering each and everyone of you at these events! And I had a lot of fun making treats for the event to make it special – so to begin I’ll share with you the goodies that everyone received during their day of crafting.
Here is a photo of not only the items they received in their “goodie bags” but also the little treats throughout the day.
I’ll get to the video – But first, check out this cute little stand up guy!
I couldn’t resist this quick little treat and since I just love the Cookie Cutter Halloween Stamp Set (142252/142255) and it’s coordinating punch (140396) I couldn’t resist making this fall themed treat for everyone. I’ve put a little butter rum candy between the two images. Who wouldn’t love seeing this little guy at their place setting on Thanksgiving? Adorable, right? this little scarecrow just makes me smile.
And here is one of the little treats from the day – I call it my Acorny Treat Pouch! I find myself reaching for this fun fall set and it’s punch! Quick and easy and when you team it up with the fun fall paper from the Holiday Catalog – it makes a great treat!
Of course, the chocolate doesn’t hurt, right? LOL!
Why not check out this quick little video – they are so easy to make!

I’ve got the complete supply list for you below. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Stop by tomorrow when I’ll share another video tutorial with you – and hopefully some of the photos from this past weekend’s Stampin’ Up! event too!
