Celebrate Butterflies - for Paper Players #329

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. I hope you are all having a great weekend. It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a sketch for us: I wasn't sure where to go with this sketch and it's all because I have a thing about squares.... I don't know what it is.... something in my little brain, for sure! I rarely use squares on a card and, when I do, it's generally as a result of a challenge. Well, that's what challenges are all about - taking us outside of our comfort zone. I... Read more →

Hello Peony for Paper Players # 328

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's my turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and I have a clean and simple challenge - with a little twist :-) Isn't Nance's badge fabulous? She has also done an amazing job of modernizing and updating our blog header and badges. Amazingly talented lady :-) Tonight's card too me much longer than it should have. Why?

However, here I am... better late than never :-) It's the fabulous Anja's turn to host our first challenge of 2017 and she has a great code word for us. It's also the first challenge... Read more →

Rainy days - art journal page

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. I hope you are all having a great week. At the end of last year I promised myself that I would start to use all of the mixed media materials that I had purchased in the hope that I was going to - somehow - become an expert at mixed media! Couple of problems with that: I hate getting my hands dirty I hate getting anything sticky on my hands (including cake mixture) I'm constantly washing paint palettes, brushes - and my hands - and it gets exhausting going backwards and forwards to the sink every...

Celebrate You.... for Paper Players # 327

Hi Everyone, happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Sandy's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a color challenge for us: YAY!!! I was so happy when I saw this challenge as I realized I could use my new favorite color combo - black, white and silver! It was also the perfect color combination to create a card to celebrate the anniversary of my besties - Pam and John. So.... you two.... we hope you have a wonderful anniversary - this one is for you! I began with a piece of white cardstock that I covered... Read more →
