Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. I hope you are all having a great weekend. I have two cards to share with you tonight. It's my final stint as the Guest Designer at Sunday Stamps so thanks to Holly for having me along this month! The challenge this week is a sketch challenge and it's a beauty. It's the very talented Claire's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great theme challenge for us. Let's start with my Paper Players card. Here's Claire's challenge Now... I didn't have a stamp that had a "sweet treat" type... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Friday. It's Rebecca's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and she has chosen a code word that is perfect for this time of year.

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. Tonight's card was made for three different challenges. The theme from AAA , the sketch from casethissketch and the technique from justusgirls. Here are the badges: The theme of woodland animals was one I absolutely couldn't resist, especially as I had a stamp set from the 2015/2016 catalog that was on the very top of my wishlist. The image I used might be of a fox, but it sure reminds me of my cat Bailey! I began by diecutting a square and stamping the fox image in Memento Black ink. I then colored the image with...
