Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you are all having a great start to your week. As promised, I have a couple of cards to share with you this week as I managed to get some quality time in my craft room and got my fingers inky:-) Many times I need some inspiration - especially when I am a little distracted - and I go looking for some challenges. I saw a sketch across at Freshly Made Sketches (but missed the submission deadline!) and this gorgeous photo across at Just Us Girls. I decided to combine the two challenges. Here's... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a corker of a sketch: Now, there are so MANY places you can go with this sketch that I really couldn't make up my mind what to do. In the end I realized that I could have some fun with a new SU stamp set that I just HAD to have... really, I couldn't resist it:-) I actually made another couple of cards with this set today, so you will be seeing more of it over the next week! I... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.

It's been a very tough few... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Ceal's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and she has a great code word for us: I was originally going to go with trees... but realized I had this fabulous Altenew cardstock that is woodgrain - and it's a pink color and realized that it would make a fabulous Valentine's/love you card. We also welcome our new guest designer at ATCAS - Jen. Not only is Jen really talented, but she has the coolest named blog ever:-) Magic Flying Boots. Hopefully you will be inspired to play along with... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Nance's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great color challenge for us... oh... and... I'm obsessed with the photo she chose for the inspiration! That pale robin's egg blue with the copper, pink and grey is a stunning - and very unexpected - color combo. Fabulous :-) I decided to go with a floral for this and had this idea that I could create pink and grey flowers and then use my copper Kuretake metallic watercolors to color in between them. Ooooooopss..... I then found out... Read more →
