Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Sandy's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a theme challenge for us. Now.... this is the second time in a month that I have wished I had looked ahead at the Paper Players challenges before making my card. For challenge #195 I made this card, which was a clean and simple floral card. Challenge number #196 turned out to be a clean and simple floral theme and I had to make this card. If I had looked ahead I could have created a different card for challenge... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Thursday. This is going to be a quick post tonight! I saw a great sketch across at annabelle stamps and decided that it would be ideal to use with the elements from the Traveler stamp sets.

It's full of great sentiments and, as I needed a wedding card, I decided that I would use this sketch - and the Hello Love set for my card. I really wanted... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are ready and prepared for this long weekend. I know I am! It's the fabulously talented Vicki's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week. She has a great code word for us. I spent a fair amount of time thinking about what I would do for this challenge. Texture can take you in so many different directions. In the end, I settled on texture from stencils and then paired it with the smooth texture of card stock, a button and some silver cord. Before... Read more →
