Holidays are excuses. Excuses to eat obscene amounts of food, to dress up in funny outfits, to get out of work, to travel all the way to Moosejaw or Leavenworth to see Great Aunt Martha. Well, maybe not that last one. But after the holiday you’ll have an excuse not to visit again for a […]
tiny treats
Every now and then I start hankering for a good paper maché project. The feel of wet newspaper between your fingers. The sticky gluey water that manages to make all nearby surfaces slightly tacky, no matter how careful you are to contain the mess. The final result of a lumpy, unidentifiable object that only one’s […]

SF Sound poster
An extra mid-week post to say, to Volume Inc.: Thank you for the poster that you sent me for saying thank you! Remember my fold-out card tutorial from a few weeks back? You may also recall me mentioning that I made that card for the Volume Inc. Thank You contest to win a really snazzy […]

fold-out fold-up cards
It’s like that old classic, the Duracell bunny: it keeps going and going and going… I started making this type of fold-up card a while ago.

ribbons & renovations
I grew up in a house that had character. Translation: a house that was constantly being renovated. My brother and I spent a fair amount of time trailing behind my dad on trips to the hardware store, more because my mom wanted us out of the house for a while than due to any particular […]
