Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. I can't tell you how glad I am that we are at the "hump" part of the week! I have two cards for you tonight, both swaps that I received at convention using the Perfect Blend set. The first one is from a fellow demo in Washington named Luci. I couldn't find a website for Luci so cannot give you a link. I know you will appreciate her card though!

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday night. I have some card eye candy for you tonight: a card outside, inside and a matching envelope!

So, every 20 cards with envies, gets you one draw entry. If you submit 100 cards, then you get 5 draws. Cards should be sent to me and I will sort all of the cards, put the OWH... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. The fabulous LeAnne has a great sketch for us at the Paper Players this week. I LOVE this sketch and knew immediately what I wanted to do with it! Before I get to that though.... It also happens to the be fabulous LeAnne's birthday! Happy Birthday, my friend. I hope your special day on Sunday is amazing! One of the first sets that I wanted from the new 2013/4 catalog was Gorgeous Grunge. However, we heard that it was going to be one of the sets included in our package at Convention. So, I held off...
