Stay Strong for Inkspirational Challenge #139

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. The team across at Inkspirational Challenges have a great sketch challenge this week. It's very different and I was excited to play along. As soon as I saw the sketch, I had this idea spring into my mind. It took a little playing around with the elements to make them work - but it turned out pretty much as I had hoped it would.

I absolutely love this set and spent well over an hour... Read more →

Magnolia for Paper Players #352

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a color challenge for us: Now.... I am NOT a pink girl and this is a whole lot of pink and....I don't have any of the colors :-) Now, I have to say - the three colors are fabulous together - and I really enjoyed playing with them - but generally pinks are not part of the color wheel that I generally see :-) But, as I have said multiple times, the great thing about doing challenges is that they...
