It’s been mighty quiet on this here blog of mine. Meanwhile, it’s been a blur of designing and cutting and scoring and readying over in this here studio of mine. Last week left me with the satisfaction of having completed two big work projects. The first being this wonderful 50 page photo album for my [...]

Two-year-olds are a wealth of fantastically funny quips and quirky bits of knowledge and so naturally we parents like to jot down these little jewels when we get a chance. These baby journals are really the same screw-post albums that I’ve been making over the past year or so. They’re filled with upcycled ledger sheets [...]

This screw-post album-making would have made a nice tutorial, but I didn’t really think of it until after the fact. This is the one shot I took of the cover boards, but it was after I already cut and covered them. Next time, okay? It really is a relatively easy project, although it does take [...]

One of the projects that fits nicely into my card design repertoire is album-making. Photo albums are big, time intensive projects that when complete, feel especially sweet and rewarding to me. I recently was hired to make a photo album for a 40th birthday celebration.For my past 4 albums or so, I’ve been starting with [...]
I am Heather
I'm a letter writer and card designer. I'm a dancer and dreamer and putterer of all things crafty. I'm a mama of two and a grower of certain things. I especially like berries.
I'm here to celebrate my love of correspondence, share my crafty endeavors and explore the edges and depths of that which makes me authentically human and (sort of) perfectly flawed.
