My love for all things Spellbinders (TM) is pretty evident. I would be using their product even if I was not on their design team. I mean, come on, genius right? Well, add my friend, Claire Brennan , to my favorite die templates, and the level of creative brilliance hits all new heights! Claire recently started her own line of stamps called, Waltzingmouse Stamps . And the genius is, that a couple of...

The idea for this piece of pie has been floating around in my head for quite some time. From the moment I saw the triangle box at Michael’s, that was its destiny! LOL! And it was a great project to turn in to Spellbinders (TM). To make the crust on the top, I cut/emboss the Eyelet Petite Borderabilities ® from Spellbinders (TM). The edges and embossed parts all were distressed with ink. Using...

This is the first tree i saw planted in my park 2months ago. Don't ask me how to pronounce that word. It's Latin why can't scientific names be in proper english? Because of the FOunder The common name for Gnetum Gnemon is the Belinjau Tree. The starchy seed from this tree is used to produce the slightly bitter keropok used to garnish gado-gado. This species can grow to about 20m high & has a cylindrical...

Good morning! Here is another Spellbinders (TM) project that I can share with you. I love this card because what inspired it, was the patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket (Girl Friday). I wanted to mimic the flowers on the paper in a larger size. I was also able to mimic the vine, by using my new favorite dies, Classic Paisley. :) Simple, but fun to cut out all the layers. Its also a great way to use...

Feminist Law Profs Blog and The Faculty Lounge put up two great and funny posts on ways to look productive to your colleagues. It was written for law professors but most can easily be applied to our lives as social scientists. The first list, from Fem Law Profs, gives specific tips on how to "act like your being productive": What good is your inner, clandestine productivity if your dean,...

Well, this just seems silly with winter approaching! :) This past summer we bought the little man an inflatable pool, with an attached giraffe slide. It provided many hours of fun, for both of us! After his initial hesitation (he is so cautious), he literally raced up and down the slide. This layout is a Spellbinders (TM) project. I cut five Classic Circles Large Nestabilities ® from cardstock....

Today Pink Persimmon and Get Sketchy are joining forces! Check out the great sketch over at Get Sketchy and have fun playing along! When I saw the “hill” looking part to the sketch, I knew I had to run with the idea. I flipped through my Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly pad and found the two papers you see. I tore the snowflake paper and then glittered the top before adhering to the 5x5 card...

was contemplating hard 45minutes before the last paper ended to leave the examination hall or not. brain squeezed dry only because it could not absorb anything anyway yesterday post-osce-that-finished-at-6.30pm before today's paper, making it the most unprepared paper. sitting for another 45minutes will only prolong the agony. adrenaline must have ran out since yesterday as i was not freaking out although...

The little car on this card came from a pile of left-overs sitting on my desk. I had cut more than one half of my Spellbinders Nestabilities die templates© Label 9 shape off for something else and when I looked down, I thought, hey it looks like a little car! It worked perfectly with the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s Everyday Button Bits , so I naturally grabbed buttons to make the wheels....

P-Mac reports news that his employer couldn't find. Starving people. Sherrie Tussler is complaining again. She's an anti-hunger activist in a poor town, so this isn't unusual. Thing is, she's right, again. Hungry Milwaukeeans are calling hotlines and getting nowhere. This time, state government is to blame - an illuminating turn. ..."The state is providing actually worse service than Milwaukee...

You know, I really don’t know how this card came together… :) I guess the starting point would be the darling brown patterned paper with the birds on a wire. Its from Cosmo Cricket’s new line, Earth Love. CUTENESS, but a large piece of it just wasn’t working for me. Continuing through the pad of paper, I grabbed the cloud-looking blue paper and figured it would make a much...

Way back in August we went down to the Children's University in Bedford for a week of rainforest-themed drumming. It was a great week for all involved, the children were given opportunities to do art, journalism, paper making, drama and even hold a variety of slithery rainforest inhabitants! Our sessions gave the children the chance to learn the basics on a variety of drums, mainly the African djembe....
