Lots to cover today — let’s begin with the card I made this afternoon for this week’s House and Home challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room.  A fun challenge requiring the use of soft blues, creams, whites and browns and/or a house image.  Here’s my try: All items used are available at The Stamp […]

A Color Challenge – As I say time and time again, color is my personal favorite for a challenge!  This week’s colors are Green and Yellow, with either White OR Ivory as your neutral, and adding a little Black to make it POP is always a favorite of mine!  I think we’ll see some striking […]

A CAS Sketch – Today I prepared a Clean and Simple Sketch for you to follow.  I love to see the different looks achieved by using the same basic sketch — and that said, you can go CAS if you prefer OR you can dress up this basic sketch as much as you like!  It’ll be fun to […]

— plus a sale on Ribbon by the Spool and Spellbinders dies — but first my card for this week’s Challenge at The Shabby Tea Room.  The challenge was to create something showing how we like to enjoy Fun in the Sun.  Well, I’m not exactly what you would call a real active outdoorsy type […]

Give it a Chance! – Today we are going to dig into our drawers, boxes or bags of those rejected or unfinished pieces — I KNOW we all have those containers.  Gosh, I have WAY too many of them.  Pull out a piece you started at some other time and for whatever reason you just […]

Gone Askew – Today’s challenge is something I like to fall back on if I’m in a super hurry to make a card because it’s just so easy — place your focal image askew on your card — no trying to center it or mat it perfectly — just place it askew.  I love this […]

Much to cover again – a card of comfort for a serious illness done in a style to fit my ongoing SIMPLICITY series of cards, a sale on ALL Lace sold by the spool, and an update on my Dad.  Let’s start with my card: Today I needed a card for a man facing a […]
