Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. The fabulous Ann has a great Tic Tac Toe challenge for us at the Paper Players this week. I decided to go vertically right up the middle of the board.

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you are all enjoying this truly glorious fall weather! I have another card to share with you tonight. I saw another great color challenge across at dynamic duos and a fabulous sketch across at ART I didn't just do fulfil the color challenge at dynamic duos, I also managed to fit in the "dessert option" with wet embossing. I decided a masculine card was in order..... the crumb cake and black just felt masculine to me. Here's my card: I really love the sketch and think the color scheme is very sophisticated. I wanted...
