Butterfly Prints for Case this Sketch and Color Throwdown

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. Hope you all had a great weekend. I did. The weather was amazing and I got to spend several hours over the weekend in my crafting room.

AGAIN! Hey. What can I say? I'm addicted to butterflies right now and inspired by the ones we see in our prairie. None of... Read more →

Gorgeous butterflies for Paper Players #309

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Nance's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great sketch for us. Yesterday was a day when I needed inspiration and found some across at Just Us Girls where they had an amazing photo inspiration.

Artsy Leaves for Addicted to CAS Challenge # 94

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Doni's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and she has a great code word for us: I had a new stamp set called Artsy Leaves and realized that this was a great set for this challenge as the leaves are just silhouettes. I decided to go with a more masculine and neutral color scheme. I used three different shades of warm gray for the colors on a soft gray background and used a pop of teal/turquoise for the sentiment. I love the soft color scheme, but realized it needed... Read more →
