20 in 20 — Texas style!

Posted on August 10, 2016November 3, 2016by Lisa

Hey hey y’all! I’m over on the Studio Calico blog today with a fun (and easy!) mixed media technique video using gesso + the Texas stamp! It’s still my fave stamp from the last release, and it’s perfect for my new project: documenting 20 things I’ve learned in the 20 years we’ve lived in Texas. […]

Today is the start of something new.

Pocket Scrapbooking // Everything will be OK

Posted on May 22, 2014May 22, 2014by Lisa

Pocket scrapbooking is turning out to be just what I needed right now. It’s so therapeutic. I try not to talk about it much because I don’t want to bring anyone down or be a complainer, but I’ve been having problems with my left leg for going on three years. Is that crazy or what? […]
