Love that video, makes me want to go away and stamp, baby!
And if I was SU, I would buy your talent if I could. You are talented! Thanks for sharing your creations on your blog :)

Put me in the drawing!! I love AC paper!
Love your card and absolutely LOVE the video! It is so fun to watch someone else create. (Especially when they don't feel like creating something.) Been there. Done that.
Thanks for making something to post for us when you didn't feel like it. It was worth it!
:o)
Love the video...it inspired me tonight! I keep thinking about starting my own blog, but then I visit yours and wonder why...you cover it all!
Cute card, love the polka dotted background stamp. I can't believe how fast you're able to rip the backs off the SU dimensionals...takes me a few tries.
Just recently found your blog.......and what fun
it is. Your work is beautiful and such an
inspiration to me. Thanks for sharing!
Love, love, love your videos! You make it all look so easy..... and make me wonder why I sometimes make it so hard! Your clean, uncluttered style is fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration!
This is a way cute card!!

OMG - this is the BEST blog! Here's my very first post. I've been reading your blog for about a month now, I've shared with friends, I've been inspired by your creations. THANKs for sharing! Now...I wish you were closer. Believe it or not, I don't even have a SU rep! It's unbelievable. Where are my invites to parties? Where are the business cards at the shows, expos and LSSs?!
:( This sad reality has been a pain for me for a while, though the pocket book breathes easily for now.
Keep it comin'!
Your clean, simple style is so beautiful! Love the card. The video is awesome -- entertaining and informative. I love your blog, always makes me smile.

I love this card!!!! Darnit, I just submitted a small order and was going to order the pink taffeta ribbon and didn't. Now, I'm kicking myself for not doing it.
Lovethe video! You make it look sooo simple!!!! I love your creative talents! Thanks for sharing!!! :O)

You're having WAY too much fun playing with videos now! ;-) It's fun getting a peak at the personality behind the creativity! Now if you'd only make a video on how you photograph your cards - simply stunning! Thanks for all you do!
I could park here and watch your video just for the music. But you are pretty neat too.
I love your little videos! And your editing skills are awesome (good timing on that music w/ the pauses for commentary!) THank you so much for the fun entertainment! :)
That card and video are the best ever!! I downloaded that song - love it and how you matched it to the video!! Cute card, cute video, cute blog - you must be a cutie pie too! The beginning of your video was very fun/cute too!
Your work is so beautiful! I would never have thought to use that set in that way and it is simple and clean without being too fussy.
Thank-you too for sharing your talent and ideas with us, I truly appreciate it.
Way cute card! I love that it's made in 5 mins. or less! I can't wait to see what you create next.
Fun video! and purty card too!!
Really great video, I hope you'll make more!
Thanks a lot for sharing!
oh oh oh another one to need 2 case
I XOXOXed watching your video of making a creation even when you really don't feel like it! It's like a freaky kind of rubber voyerism... anyone feel another addict coming on?! {grin!}
Keep up your FAB blog... I just can't get enough!!
You're hilarious! I hate the smell of Stazon...it's the only stamp pad I remember to close...the rest just leave little messes on clean paper. Wonderful card though...I love the beginning...watching the decision making process. Thanks for giving us a peek into your creative process.
Tooooooooooo cute card! And I LOVE the music ( of course I love ALL things Grey's)!
Hi, I don't normally leave comments, but I really love how you have been motivating me - that simple and elegant cards can be made in just short period of time. I love the videos that you have been posting. They are not only great tutorial where details of how you use simple little trick like a little tape to keep paper in place, but absolutely fun, entertaining and motivating! Thank you so much for SHARING!!!!
Great video, lovely card, still a super blog and a very generous blog owner. Might have to go buy the Grey's soundtrack now too.....itunes store here I come :-).
Thanks Kristina.

Colleen
thanks for another give away and the card is so
sweet
it's fun watching your videos! & I ADORE your cards! this one is quite cute! :D TFS
Wow! Pretty slick video; is there a reason you work on a cutting pad? I noticed you slipped paper underneath when stamping the background though. Hmmm....I also noticed you stamp the background the same way I do, basically "eyeballing" the placement. But I was surprised you took the time & effort to use your stamp placement thingie...you don't eyeball that too? Sweet card; thanks for sharing your video and the inspiration to stamp, even when I don't feel like it! :D Gotta hop off the computer and get stamping!

This has been such a hectic week and I was feeling just like you - totally torn - knowing that stamping always makes me feel better, but sometimes just not wanting to start! Thanks for the swift kick in the pants I needed! It's so gorgeous in Houston today that I might actually take my table outside and stamp in the sunshine!
I love your creativity, the music and your awesome and simple inspiration! Keep the videos coming! (When is the next one? I feel like the old Mervyn's commercials - OPEN OPEN OPEN!!)
Keep burning rubber! :-D

:) Erika
Dude!!!! You rock!!! I just LOVED your video! And seing half your face reminded me of Home Improvement's neighbour when we never saw his full face :)
I really think that SU! should pay attention to you and give you some kind of something to do! I mean you are so creative and your personnality sparkles! Or maybe you can start your own sitcom! Sorry for the long message, but you totally help me start the day with a smile! Have a fabulous Saturday!
Jacynthe
Your hair is so cute. Great video and the picture you took of the card shows it off so well!

Silke
I love watching you work!!! :)
You are just too adorable. Love your videos. Please keep them coming. And I do love the smell of Stazon also. Are we crazy?

Love the Video, the music and the card!
You are so Awesome!! Love your cards and videos!
Love, love love it!
Totally awesome video. How fun. You need to start your own video how to business. Great card.
How flippin' cute is your "hang in there" card!?!?! I've struggled with this set, but you've mastered it beautifully. Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome demo. I have been an SU! customer for years and I have just about every single thing they sell, but I saw a couple things here that I may have to purchase soon.
Cute card & vidio!! BTW....I love the smell of Stazon too. :)
I love that I have found your blog - I love the clean look of your work, the color combos, the relative lack of the distressed, grunged, whatever - which is why I also tend to love the crisp graphic look of American Crafts products. What I love most is that you take tend to use all the SU products which I have so much (too much) of - its really a directly inspirational style and always executed perfectly - so THANKS
I really really LOVE your video tutorials! They are just awesome. I like how you add the music and the little snipits of information. You really make card making fun.
I was just saying to my friends yesterday that we cannot have too much paper. It is our right to have as much as we want! LOL. Your video was FAB. Seriously fun and funny to watch. If I made that card it would look amateurish but you make it so professional. I even ordered some Thickers after seeing yours. Lord knows what I am going to do with those! LOL.
Great video! So wait, do you really use your stampa-ma-jig a lot? Do you buy extra sheets for it or just clean it off somehow? I have been back and forth about getting one. OH! You REALLY need to go to the Target $ Spot! They have The Office stuff AND several things that say "I [heart] Jim" I SO though of you and I would've bought a few for you, but I don't know where to send it! LOL!! But seriously, you need to go check it out! :-)
Oh no! I've missed out on some giveaways! Yet I check your blog like every hour! *lol* Guess I've been busy the past coupla days. I luuuuuuuuurve AC stuff. As usual, fresh, clean, inspiring design, Kris!
*hugs*
Cris
