Merry Christmas, Keisha! I have been a follower of your blog ever since China. Your style is great! I have a few slice questions: what cartridges do you have in your collection? Which one(s)you use a lot? What's your favorite and why? I love your slice die cuts but don't know which you use when you post your work. Please tell which with a layout/card/craft. Thank you so much!

Hey Lori...Yikes, let's see I have 22 cards...I have all the Christmas cards & Halloween cards; I love the cards with words & expressions. And if it has cool butterflies, I HAVE to have it-Paper Reverie, Vintage Findings, Jungle, Just Chillin-all have the best butterflies and are my top favorites. Paper Reverie also has leaves that I LOVE. Paper Reverie & Vintage Findings have a great BEE shape that I love to use. Noteworthy & Wedding I use most for flowers-Wedding has great letters & words too. Fall Back To School is a top card-great letter/number fonts and shapes. Mix & Mingle has lots of letter/number fonts. 

I use Paper Reverie, Vintage Findings, and Just Chillin most of all-and if you see a butterfly, bee, bird, leaves or words on one of my pages-it was done with one of those cards.

Hi Fran...my large craft table with the shelves was made when we lived in China-a Pottery Barn knockoff.

Keisha, I simply love everything you create. Your style is so pretty. If I may ask, can you please show us some of your storage ideas on things like how you store unmounted rubber stamps?? That would be so cool. Also, how do you store your bulky scrap layouts? Love your blog, def one of my top favs.

Hello Janice...I keep my clear/unmounted in a canvas storage basket. And I plan to keep my bulky/odd sized pages in a linen storage box from Restoration Hardware. Right now I put them in clear plastic bins.

I'll try to post a photo of the stamp storage later this week, thanks!!!!!

Keisha, everything you touch is gold! These tags are so pretty! Will you decorate your studio with them?
I'm sorry to hear that you have a creepy stalker, those are never fun. Just know they're stalking you because they're jealous of you. You have a beautiful home and family, their life is probably empty and miserable. Keep up the wonderful work here. Your fan club far exceeds the haters!

I love your tags. Do you create them to get your mojo going? Do you plan to add them to your pages later? I really like the embossed ones.

The tags are lovely and have given me some inspiration to get back into creating! May I ask please what your "go to" colors are? Any trio or pallete of colors that you find yourself inspired by over and over again?

Admitted long time blog stalker here. Keisha's scrapbooking and decorating ideas are a HUGE source of inspiration for me. I just love all the pretty soft colrs you've been playing with recently. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with all this lovelyness! :)
