Thrifty Stashy SNAP Swap Box via SewWoodsy.com

In 9 days I'll be on my way to Utah (for the first time) to attend SNAP! Johnnie from Saved By Love Creations and Amy from Plucking Daisies organized a fun pre-SNAP! meet and greet called Thrifty Stashy SNAP! Swap. Basically, you raid you craft stash and then go to the store for whatever else you may need and send a box of supplies to your partner. My partner for this SNAP! swap was Chrissy from Hoot Designs! Chrissy and I met at Haven last year and have also chatted via twitter. Chrissy has … [Read more...]

Birthday Paper Doily Tag

February 27, 2013 By Katie 12 Comments

Today is a very special day... it's Mr. Woodsy's birthday! We typically don't exchange BIG birthday gifts and sometimes we don't exchange any gifts at all. This year I decided to splurge and get Mr. Woodsy a GoPro camera. He has been eyeing that camera for years, and well I finally made his dreams come true. I wanted to give him the camera before our cruise (last week). It just so happened that the camera and accessories arrived at our mailbox last Monday, and I was off work. So operation pick … [Read more...]

DIY Monogram Stickers For Cards

December 13, 2012 By Katie Leave a Comment

The other night I received our Christmas cards from Minted.com. I knew I was going to be in a mad-dash to get these babies, sealed, stamped, and out to the mailbox. My goal was to get them complete in one evening. I have a super large family on both sides. Most years we send on average 75-100 cards. That's a lot of stuffing and stamping if you ask me. And in past years (because I was crazy) I would write a message in each card and sign. Not this year--I went with the double-sided "pre-signed" … [Read more...]

Card Making is as easy as 1-2-3!

September 20, 2012 By Katie 12 Comments

Each Saturday, I showcase a hand made card. Card making has been a hobby of mine for quite some time now. I think it was how I really got into making so many other crafts. I'm glad that I decided to finally to start showcasing the cards I make on a weekly basis. Friends and family always are impressed and think that card making can be so incredibly difficult. It's not. Well, it can be as complex or simple as you make it. That's why I love the new David Tutera Paper Crafts line. It is as … [Read more...]

{Card Making} Tropical Party Card

August 4, 2012 By Katie 2 Comments

I am loving the bright pop of color on this tropical "party" card I created recently! I found the cut out purple flowers when I was cleaning my craft room one day. I know for a fact I never bought these... I'm sure I some how inherited the flowers. All of my friends always give all their leftover craft items to me. These flowers are thick and have tons of texture to them. I think a card like this is perfect for a summer birthday OR inviting friends to a summer pool party... hence the wave like … [Read more...]
