Happy New Year!
I’m popping in to share some of my favorite projects from 2015!
a HUGE Thank you to DieNamities, Blitsy, Craftwell, Chickaniddy, The Silhouette Challenge Team and Clique Kits for giving me the opportunity to create such lovely projects!

Hello! How are you? Happy February! How have you been? I’ve been knee deep in kindergarten homework and reading plans, craft projects, and other big family plans. So, forgive me if you haven’t seen me in a while, but trust that I’m getting a lot done behind the scenes and I look forward to sharing as soon as I’m able to (Really, as soon as I can come up for air)!
I wanted to pop in and share that I created a VIDEO! for Blitsy showing one of my favorite combos — white embossing paste on dark card stock. I’m also using fun elements from Prima’s Forever Green line! Here is peek:
Please check out the Blitsy blog and click the Discover Tab (top left corner) for the full reveal! (please be gentle, it’s my first video in a long time). Take care! xo, Tyra
Happy New Year (better late than never, right?). I’m sorry I’ve been gone for a bit! I had a lot of holiday time off and my family and I have been trying to get back into the swing of school, homework (in kindergarten — yes, they are busy these days!), snow days and work. I also used my downtime for goal setting and working with my husband on some big exciting family plans for later this year (I’ll share as soon as I am able, promise).
In the meantime I’m glad to get back into the swing of blogging! Thank you so much for your patience! While you are here, I would love to share a few crafty updates:
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! xo, Tyra
Merry Christmas to you and yours! If you are sitting on the couch relaxing (or recovering) from all of the holiday hoopla, check out the following features:
I’m over on the Clique Kits Blog where I share my December Journal:
I’m over on Blitsy, where I share my photo calendar:
And last, but not least, over at Chickaniddy, I created a fun mini-album using the Jolly Good Collection (this collection is also perfect for snowy and rainy winter-themed cards):
So once again, Merry Christmas! xo, Tyra

At first glance this tool might look intimidating, but after a few tutorials, that the Bow-It-All is perfect for the holiday season! Just think — bows on cards, wreaths, presents and decor. Here is my very first set of bows:
I started to walk around my house to see I what I could add a bow to. Um, how about everything? however, as I start, I added a pretty ribbon to this tote:
I like Big Bows and I cannot Lie!
(sorry, I totally couldn’t resist)To summarize, I have a list of Likes / Dislikes
