- A Birthday Card for a Boy
A Birthday Card for a Boy, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
At work, we’ve adopted 9 children from Kenya via Compassion International, a Christian charity that helps kids around the world. Recently, I just sorted through my card collection and pulled out a few select ones to donate to my office to send to our kids.
I realized [...]
- Scrapp’n Booty Time! (And no, not the one I’m sitting on)
Scrapp’n Booty! (And no, not the one I’m sitting on), originally uploaded by krisalis903.
OHHHH MYYYYYYY! So yesterday, I went out on a scrapbook shopping excursion with the gals. It’s the third one I’ve been on so far and as always, I had a blast. We went out to several different shops all the way out [...]

Mother, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
This is the Mother’s day card I made for my mom this year. Luckily I remembered to take a picture of it before I gave it to her
Can you believe I haven’t purchased a rubber stamp set since last Christmas? Believe it! I’ve grown so in love with acrylic [...]
- Using the Scor-Pal to Make Envelopes
Using the Scor-Pal to Make Envelopes, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
I LOVE MY SCOR-PAL! Probably even more now that I discovered how to make envelopes. There are a couple tutorials on their website here. And I found an A2 envelope tutorial using the Scor-pal here on YouTube. I’ve always wanted to be able to make my [...]

Color Inspiration Challenge #52 Happy Birthday, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
It’s been several weeks since I participated in one of these so here it is! At first I wasn’t sure how to work with this color palette. In fact, this is the 2nd card I made after the first one turned out boring. I definitely like [...]
- Like a Cat
Like a Cat, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
So I made this layout using some of the photos I took of Izzie a few months ago. While I love the layout it’s missing…something I’m not quite sure yet. Oh and by the way, I have enough of these Thickers Shoebox letters to last me a lifetime so [...]
- Waste Not, Want Not
Waste Not, Want Not, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
At first I was a little annoyed that All Night Media (a division of PLAID) made their dimensional pop-up dots this way where they left behind so much unused foam.
But then I realized you can actually make use of some of the unused foam as shown here. Basically [...]
- Love
Love, originally uploaded by krisalis903.
Ok, in this card I again tried to use some items I’ve had in my stash. Update: Sorry guys, I totally spaced out and forgot to list the supplies used. I started with a base of craft card stock. I embossed the swiss dots using the Cuttlebug A2 Border Just My [...]
- Save vs. Splurge: IKEA MACKIS vs. Making Memories White Wood Storage Desktop Organizer
Last week, Kristina Werner featured a Making Memories White Wood Desktop Organizer that she got for 75% off. She planned on using it as an organizer to hold her “new items” that she wanted to try out, which was SUCH a great idea because I often got new items and end up misplacing them or [...]
- When Can I Move In?
Each week at Two Peas, they have a warehouse walk video where they showcase new arrivals at their warehouse. Don’t you just want to move in there? I wouldn’t even mind the stark decor.
(BTW, I’m loving the Zinnia collection from Little Yellow Bicycle. I’ve never been drawn to their products, but I like the thermography [...]
