Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. I hope you are all having a great week. I have a couple more inspiration cards for you tonight. I saw this stamp set at the scrapbook expo a few weeks ago in Minneapolis. I attended a paid card making session and, as part of that investment, we get to choose a free stamp set. After the session was over, I went over to the stand and started to look around at the stamps. I saw this stamp set and it was all over. I KNEW that I HAD to have this set. It made me... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Claire's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great sketch for us: As we were away when my August Simon Says Stamp card kit arrived, I decided it was a great time to open it up and check it out.

Just in case you missed it :-) Here's the link to... Read more →
Hi Everyone. It's the fabulous Laurie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a clean and simple theme for us. Now... clean and simple is easy for me, but creating "scenes" is not. Some people really have the knack of it - just check out the PP inspiration cards as an example! - sadly, I just don't seem to have the knack. However, this old set from Papertrey Ink had a ready created scene for me! All I need to do was stamp it and get out my Copic Markers. The background felt just a... Read more →
