Photos by Creative Juice Photography!
It’s always a bit of a scary thing to get photographs taken of yourself. I had put it off long enough though and recruited Creative Juice Photography to come and get a few shots of me. With all the new designwork and classes I’ve got my fingers in these days, I’ve needed bios and pics [...]
If You Want To Know…
…the chat last night was so much fun! Super crazy, but a blast! My kids decided to get up for it, my power went out and my computer had to restart, so I spent the entire hour completely behind! lol. Thank you for attending and we hope you liked the free kit we gave out! [...]

CHA Summer 2009
CHA is in Florida and I won’t be going. In fact, I’ll be headed the opposite direction in a couple of days for a vacation with my family. So, to celebrate CHA, Jen and I are doing a little chat on 2peas today. Come join us in the CHA Summer Forum at 2peas for scoops [...]
Just Another Monday
It’s just another Monday and my family is still recovering from a weekend at Bear Lake. We’re also recovering from a lingering virus that managed to take captive the last two members of our family this weekend (Felicity and myself). I managed to get over my fever and aches after a day, but Felicity has [...]
Double Dessert Night
Just as Siri, Felicity, and I had finished whipping up the vanilla pudding for our Puddin’Pie, our next door neighbor left this lovely green thing on our porch. I just looked at it and said, “Well, I guess I’m making zucchini bread.” For you know, that this is all you can do with a zucchini [...]
Silhouette Example
I got an email from someone who did the Photoshop Silhoutte Tutorial and I wanted to show it off here! Jessica Taufer is the owner of Utah Baby Guide and said that she didn’t do the trace option at the end (something you may not be able to do unless you have Illustrator CS2 or [...]
Fabric, CHA, AND a Chat
Yes, this is it. The big news! I recently signed a fabric deal and you will be able to find my designs in fabric in early 2010! Unfortunately, I have to be very vague about the release because we haven’t even begun first rounds of strike-offs (I will be sure to keep you updated!)! It’s been [...]
The Sofa Post
It’s Favorite Friday, but I couldn’t limit myself to 5 on this one. It’s my sofa post. Yes, sofa’s I love and links to find them:). It’s taken me two weeks to consolidate this post:). I’m a little ga-ga over these sofas, and although I won’t be buying one anytime soon, it’s always good to [...]
My Cauliflower Soup: Yummy Summer Soup Recipe
My newest kit came out yesterday at 2peas, Sproutlets! The Collections Team have put together some fantastic layouts for this kit so go check them out here. I wanted to share my Cauliflower Soup recipe. It’s really good…packed with vitamins and a bit of fat. I love using fresh herbs in this. It makes the [...]
Feast Your Eyes on This! Photo Extravaganza at Park City
Josh and I spent the weekend in Park City. I was doing a site check of a property (The Canyons). Talk about a wonderful (and very full) weekend. We had dinner at Lookout Cabin on the mountain. The weather was delightful and the seven course dinner wasn’t bad either (they certainly take care of you!). [...]
It’s Another Thursday…
I’ve been meaning to post this link for some time now, but have managed to forget with all the craziness (and loveliness) in my life! The winner of the PhotoCuts Giveaway on my blog posted some layouts using the Overlays on her blog called http://paperscissorsandglue.blogspot.com. You can check out she uses the overlays there:). The [...]
4th of July Photos
4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. In Minnesota, we always went to Bunker Beach during the day and landed in Stillwater for the spectacular firework show over the Croix River. Since we moved to Utah over a year ago, we are still trying to “find” our 4th of July tradition. This year, [...]

The First Steps to Becoming a Designer
I get asked alot “how to become a designer.” There’s really no straight answer to a question like that. I think people are so interested because creativity is an essential part of all our lives. Trying to figure out ways to channel that creativy into a career seems possible by becoming a “designer.” With a [...]
Sproutlets
My Friday is feeling a lot like a Saturday:). Working on some designs today—specifically finishing a mega kit I’m working on called Sproutlets…It’s like 6 kits or more wrapped into one big kit! After I’m finsihed submitting this to 2peas today, I’ll be all set for a fun-filled, laid back 4th of July weekend! I [...]
Side Bar Upgrade
I finally got around to upgrading my sidebar. I’ve been meaning to add these easy links for a while now, but just managed to squeeze in making the icons and putting it all up this morning! I still have to make some adjustments to the posts themselves (so some things can be downloaded directly from [...]
