Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. It's the very talented Sandy's turn to host our Paper Players Challenge this week and she has a great color challenge for us. I decided to use a new stencil as the colors of Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow were perfect for it! Both of these colors are made richer and creamier with the addition of the Very Vanilla. It took me ages to mask off each of the elements, but I think it was worth it. I added the sentiment layer and decided it had just a... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Friday. As some of you were very kind and encouraging about my first art journal page, I decided to share my second one with you. This was another page that was a labor of love for me and on where I learned how little I know about different mediums and how they should be used!

I backed that with some cardstock that I ran... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you all had a great fall weekend. I know we did. I got to play along with Casethissketch this weekend and use some of my Simon Says Stamp November card kit DSP.

Let me start with the sketch: I really liked the fact that the mat layer had a gap and the double sentiment layer. I realized I could use some Gold Embossing and tie that together with some of...

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. I managed to spend a little time in my crafting space today... well, actually I spent a few hours in there. The first time since before we went on our cruise. It felt wonderful to just dedicate the time to just being crafty with very few interruptions. The only interruptions I had were from Lou who needed help wrapping our arborvitae with burlap. We didn't do that last winter and the deer were pretty rough on the smaller ones and the larger ones that they could reach. Luckily the snow was so deep last year that... Read more →
