Aloha, all! I can truly tell you that the vast majority of the materials in Robin's Craft Room are not only Stampin' Up!, they're also current Stampin' Up! products. But, hidden behind all that current Stampin' Up! stuff is a little stash of what I call my "Personal Stamping Stuff." Yup, that's the label on the … [Read more...] about Yes, It’s Retired!

Happy Summertime Anniversary!
Aloha, all! This week marks the second anniversary of my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. Their official marriage was June 30th, but they had a big formal wedding in Indonesia in December of their wedding year. I like to celebrate their official date as their anniversary. December has plenty of other stuff to celebrate (like … [Read more...] about Happy Summertime Anniversary!
I {Heart} Sketch Challenges!
Aloha, all! It seems that a lot of cards and projects that are being made right now feature Stampin' Up! stamp sets that are retiring. But today I found myself using two stamp sets and a Stampin' Wheel that are in the current Stampin' Up! catalog AND are going to be continued on into the new catalog that will be effective July 1st of this … [Read more...] about I {Heart} Sketch Challenges!
A Fun CASE for Valentine’s Day
Aloha, all! You'll recall the word CASE - I define it as "Copy And Share with Everyone." Well, today's card is definitely a CASE! Fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Tina Taves, featured this online this morning and I fell in love with the design! This card uses the Stamp Set, Valentine Defined, from the … [Read more...] about A Fun CASE for Valentine’s Day
Punch Parfait Potpourri
Aloha, all! How do you like all that alliteration in the topic today? Perfect for this post! The topic comes from all the "p" words that are appropriate for today's pretty project: Punch Potpourri (as in the Level 1 Hostess set) and Peach Parfait (as in the orange-ish color that's featured as part of the … [Read more...] about Punch Parfait Potpourri
Just a Bit More!
Aloha, all! Yesterday we looked at two different versions of the same basic card. Today we'll look at the final card I decided to make with this design. The operative word with this card is "texture." Aha, you thought I'd say "bling"! But bling is texture. And so is texture made by using some of the Sizzix Texturz Plates offered by Stampin' … [Read more...] about Just a Bit More!
Kick it Up a Notch!
Aloha, all! Yesterday was a "stamp-a-stack" session in Robin's Craft Room. The whole premise behind "stamp-a-stack" is that you can get a lot of cards done in a short time period. The idea is to have cards for the special holiday and not have to stress over them! So last week and this week, we completed a stack of Valentine's Day cards done so we'd have … [Read more...] about Kick it Up a Notch!
Happy Anniversary, Harry!
Aloha, all--and especially my darling husband, Harry! Today is our wedding anniversary and I'm looking forward to a nice dinner out. We rarely eat out because we have such a lovely garden and lanai (covered patio) and can eat dinner every night in one of the most beautiful settings we know of! So it's really a treat for us to drive into Hilo and enjoy being waited on. Of course, I … [Read more...] about Happy Anniversary, Harry!
