Recently I was shopping and really wanted a new die that would make trees. I’m really pleased with the one I got and used it to make a birthday card using it. I was going to make some Christmas cards with it, but this is what came out. I definitely think it’ll look great with…
Read moreGated Turkey Day
So since I’m on a mission to force myself to use more Crushed Curry paper, I decided I needed to make another version of the Turkey day invitation. This one was based off the CAS(E) this Sketch #53. When I looked at it I almost immediately thought of the cards that have folding sides, and…
Read moreTurkey Day Invitations
I finally got around to making the invitations for the thanksgiving day festivities. I used the Freshly Made Sketches #111 as my inspiration for the layout. They’ll be in the mail soon! If I don’t forget anyway… I’m finding it super hard to use the crushed curry paper and I think I may have gone…

Read moreChristmas Card 1
I was trying to come up with something with the peek-a-boo frames with this card, because I just don’t feel like I use them enough. I didn’t take into account the size of the card and that I was going to have to put on 3 of these suckers, so I ended up using the…

Read moreQuiet
It’s quiet now, i hear the wind. The crickets sing, the birds chirping. The cars still drive by, but it’s more of a restful sort of hum. Low and soothing, rumbling on. Finding center, coming back. Breathing deep and settling in. It’s quiet now, beyond the din.
Read moreWorking with SharePoint
After working with Linux and Unix for so long it’s been difficult to go back to the Windows world. It’s not that I’m anti-windows or anything, it’s just a different environment and not one that I adore. I’ve been trying to be fair to SharePoint and I don’t think that it’s necessarily a bad starting…
Read moreRockmelt on the Mac
So I decided to say what the hell and signed up for the “Rockmelt” beta. I was intrigued by the video and thought it might be a good experiment. Unfortunately, it really did not live up to my expectations. The interface is nice and the ability to add favorite friends and feeds is a nice…
