TLC380 ~ Either/Or, but Both is More Welcome, friends! It’s my turn to host this week’s Technique Lover’s Challenge.   I completely struggled with what I wanted to do.  Not that I had NO ideas, but I had too many ideas! So, this week’s challenge is to do either a triple easel card (I’ll give […]

Hi Ya’ll! I’m going to just put this out there…. I don’t make cards for St. Patty’s day.   I should be ashamed, too.   After all, we ARE the Clan McMillen! However, I found a tutorial recently on how to make shamrocks out of felt and well… they were just too darn cute!  You […]

Hello, Friends! Well, we have successfully celebrated another Christmas here in the McMillen household.  Our motto this year was “It’s not what’s under your tree that matters… it only matters who’s around it”.   My boys genuinely embraced that attitude.  For Christmas Eve, we had a nice spread of finger foods and several of the […]

Hi Friends! After several days of listening to the roofers *bang bang bang* the day away, I finally had some peace and quiet this afternoon to get some crafting done. It was not without obstacles, though.   My project for this week’s Technique Lover’s Challenge (to decorate a (gift) bag, incorporated some items that were […]

Howdy friends 🙂 Is it spring?  I’m confused.  Saturday it was 81 balmy degrees and Sunday never got out of the 30s with snow and wind.   Everyone in the house is sneezing and blowing and coughing.   Not good!   I’ve decided to ignore it and hope it just goes away :). So, in […]

Hi friends! Oh my.  It’s been an amazing day here in Colorado.  Highs near 60.  Sun shining like nobody’s business.   I hit a massive sale at Hobby Lobby (everything I bought was 50% off!).   Yet, I spent the better part of the day in the studio.   I’ve made quite a few valentines […]

Hello, Friends I will warn you right up front…. this post is going to be long and picture heavy.   I’ve been a busy girl today.     I hit the studio at about 8am this morning and finally emerged at 4:30 pm.   Um, pizza anyone? LOL   Sorry family, dinner was not on […]

Hi Friends 🙂 I have so many people in my life that need prayer right now.   A friend with a sick child.   A family member in crisis.   Another family member battling the effects of aging.  And yet another who is battling cancer.   These are just a very few of the people […]

Good morning, friends! Back in December, I posted a project (~ pretty packaging ~) that was a drawer box with monogrammed cards.   I had such a wonderful response to that project both here on my blog and on Splitcoaststampers.com.   A couple months back, Beate contacted me to do a tutorial for Splitcoaststamper.com.   […]
