Robin and Wren for Case this Sketch

Happy Sunday, again :-) In case you missed it, you can find my Paper Players card on this post. I have a quick card for you that I created from the sketch across at Casethissketch. It's a really cool sketch and I decided to turn it on the vertical instead of the horizontal. I used my favorite The Greetery sets - Robin and Wren and Blooming Branches to create this little scene. Here's the sketch: I created a sponged background for my frame and used my nested squares to create the frame. I stamped and die-cut the birds and the... Read more →

Signed & Sealed - Just a Note for Paper Players #519

Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great Tic Tac Toe board for us. For my choices I went horizontal on the top line - Patterned Paper, Die Cut and Embossing. For my card I used some of my new favorite goodies from The Greetery: Signed & Sealed with a Kiss, Signed & Sealed and the Shiplap dies. Oh... I LOVE those dies!

12 cards of Christmas Day 5 - Christmas Selfies

Happy Wednesday. I have a few variations on the same layout - with the same set - for you tonight. Christmas Selfies from My Favorite Things is such a fun set. It was perfect to make multiples of for both SendASmile4Kids - and also for seniors to send out to their grandkids. So, I stamped up the images, did some very simple coloring, and add lots of glimmer and shine - but not with real glitter. One set of requests asked for holiday/winter themed cards but no Merry Christmas. On the other hand, another request was to HAVE Merry Christmas!... Read more →
