Hi Everyone. happy Sunday. It's my turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and I have a sketch for you.

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. This is my second post for today. If you are interested in my Just Us Girls card - you can check out this link It's the talented Carolyn's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and she has a great code word for us: Now, there are some days when coffee is a MUST have - as opposed to a nice-to-have. On those days - the sentiment from the Altenew Coffee Talk and Coffee Love sets. I paired it with the Coffee stain stencil from Tim Holtz to create this card: Sometimes... water... Read more →
