Okay…I know that I used the same stamp set and materials to create my card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge as I did for the What Will You Stamp challenge and the SUO Challenge, but I LOVE the colors and the stamp set! Once again, we have a great sketch to work with from Pam Staples… Read More »
What Will You Stamp challenge blog invited me to be a guest stamper this week with the Totally Trees stamp set. This is a fun, graphic set of trees that you can use for all seasons.

Who can resist such a great sale? I took advantage of it and I love this new Presents and Pinecones paper! Isn’t that… Read More »
This week over at The Paper Craft Crew, we are having a fall card challenge. Any fall themed card works for the challenge!!! My goal with this card was to make a fall card using the scraps of papers sitting on my desk! I have little squares and rectangles of left over papers all over! I really love… Read More »
I was excited to see that the new SUO Challenge #159 was a Holiday Paper challenge. Here is my crack at the challenge: I was delighted that I could create any card that I wanted as long as I used Stampin’ Up!’s holiday papers. I can keep my card clean and simple that way. Some of the challenge… Read More »
I have not played with the Halloween stamp sets enough so far this season. The Halloween Cookie Cutter set and the Jar of Haunts has really kept me occupied! Today I played with the Spooky Fun images. I’ve been using the sentiments from this stamp set because I didn’t think the other sets had enough fun sentiments for… Read More »
I have a confession. After participating in the Mojo Monday sketch challenge last week, I browsed the Verve online store to see what kinds of goodies that sell. I found a fantastic stamp set called Autumn Blessings that had a coordinating die set called Autumn Thanks. Of course I purchased the bundle! It came within two days with… Read More »
When I checked out the Retrosketch challenge for the week, I realized that it’s one of my favorite card sketches to use for holiday cards. Needless to say, I created a Christmas card that would be easy to mass produce and it would also be easy to mail since it doesn’t have a lot of embellishments that would… Read More »
I’ve spent the last 7 days immersed in being creative in my craft studio (aka…my basement where the crickets and spiders roam). I can’t believe how much better I feel today than I did a week ago. There is nothing like allowing yourself time to just create. I really believe that it heals your soul! I haven’t felt… Read More »
I enjoyed revisiting using the Faux Border technique a few days ago, so I decided to use it in a couple of cards today. I’m participating in two challenges with my card today. One is a color challenge and one is a Clean and Simple embossing challenge. For the CAS on Sunday Challenge, the challenge was to create… Read More »
As you know, I’ve been participating in a lot of card sketch challenges lately. I’ve tried sketches from all different websites and I have used quite a variety of new sketches in the last two weeks. I’m having fun seeing what I can come up with using someone else’s sketch and then seeing how other stamper’s interpret those… Read More »
I decided that I had to try the sketch challenge from CAS(E) this sketch this week. The simplicity of the sketch was irresistible! I also wanted to use the Faux Mat technique that I haven’t used in a while. I used a couple of fun techniques to create this single layer card. Yes! I said it’s a… Read More »
It’s a good idea to refresh your browser at least once a day! I missed the closing of the Just Add Ink Add Wings challenge yesterday, but discovered that they had a new challenge up today! This week’s challenge is a color challenge and I had fun with it! My hands and desk are a complete mess, so… Read More »
