About me
I’m a wife, mother, daughter and friend. I believe in a loving and merciful God and strive to live my life in accordance with his word.
I’ve always loved crafting and have found particular satisfaction in paper crafts. There’s something very satisfying in creating a card you love, but it’s also very satisfying to look at something, decide you really don’t like it, and throw it in the trash – after all, it’s just paper! I get a lot of pleasure from sending a card and having it make someone a little happier…and I find special pleasure in helping others realize that they too can be creative.

Can you please send me a template of the snow globe you used to make the snowman card? It is adorable!
Thanks!
Hi There,
Love your site!! All of your cards provide inspiration.
Awhile back, I requested the template for the snowglobe that was a demonstrator perk. Apparently, I neglected to provide my e-mail address (another senior moment !)
So, can we try again, please?!

Thanks so much.

hello! Can you send me the template you used for your card–please. Thank you!
Hi,
Your ideas are so cute and creative and I would like to subscribe to your blog.
Sincerely.

I love your custom background. I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this. Someone sent me a link to you blog from my post in the blog forum on SCS. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=473433&goto=newpost
I get as far as adding my image and can’t figure out how to add the html code.
Can you please help me?
Hi Anne-
I just joined stampin’ up on 1/5/10 and I’ve been looking for ideas for my first workshop. I really like your chapstick holder. Do you have the dimensions of the base card and instructions on how to cut the section that holds the chapstick?
thanks! kylie
Hope it’s not too late, but I was poking around for ideas for my Christmas cards this year and saw the snow globe template. Are you still able to send copies????
Hello Anne…
I’ve been following the RemARKable Holiday blog and just love your sight (I love Maui also, we have 2 timeshares there)
I just LOVE the little chapstick holders that you made (January 2010 post). Can you tell me where I could find the template/measurements for that little project. I just ordered “FALL” chapsticks from Avon (check them out…they were only 69 cents, but I think that they are .99 now, still a deal! I saw that they had chapsticks decorated for halloween also, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they have some for Christmas too!)..
I appreciate any feedback on the chapstick holder…and thank you for sharing your wonderful projects

Dear Cliffie,
I hate to admit it, but I kinda free-handed the chapstick holder. I was running late and just wanted a little something for my club members and I winged it. Since I’ve given them all away, I don’t have the original to measure, but they are VERY simple. Here’s a tutorial from Stampin’ Addicts – scroll down in the challenge post for the “How-to” : http://www.stampinaddicts.com/forums/3d-challenges/2791-3d025-9-07-09-chapstick-holder.html
WARNING: Her chapstick holder is a “more is more” version. Mine was super simple. OK, I just looked at Splitcoast and their resource gallery is down. Here’s an approximation of what I did:’ My chapsticks were just under 3” tall so I made my cardstock just a hair over 3” tall. I cut it 3” x 5 ½”. I scored it at 2 3/8” and 3 1/8” across the widest part of the holder. I creased the score marks and made 2 parallel cuts through the “spine” and partway into the back of the holder. This created a little tab that I could pop out to hold the chapstick. Decorate as you like. I used a mini glue dot to keep the chapstick from sliding out, but that was because I was lazy and didn’t feel like measuring my cuts exactly. (Did I mention I was in a hurry??) This is a TERRIBLE description and I apologize. If I can find a better tutorial later I’ll forward it to you, or if I can figure out better instructions I’ll send them. If you are short on time, do what I do: get some scratch paper and start cutting and folding. Once you have the dimensions set with scratch paper you can start on the real deal. Good luck, and thanks for your comment!
Aloha, Anne

Greetings Matasci Family (Anne, Ray, Carol, Sara, and Matt),
Thanks for the Christmas card, letter and picture of the family. It is great to read everyone is doing well. We will be in Mexico, Cancun this summer 2011 at the wedding, so we will miss our vacation in Maui next summer. The sunsets are amazing, and we miss being there having left only months ago. We hope you all have a very blessed 2011. Lovely picture of the family.
Love to all of you,
Bart, Pavna, Brandon, and Lauren Sloan

What size SU oval did you use on the owl multipication? TY
Hi Jacalyn,
I used the scallop oval for the wings and the 3/4 inch circle for the “feathers” on the front of the owl. Does that answer your question?
