Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and the challenge also fits with the Festive Friday challenge #84 When I was creating my card I realized that I had nothing that had polka dots on it.

I hope you will join us and play along with our... Read more →
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a great theme for us: This was great inspiration for me as I made cards for the Bearly Art card drive. I found this fabulous Hero Arts dragon set at Joanne's on a buy 2 get 1 free promotion and I paired it with the film strip from My Favorite Things. I just love these little dragons - especially with the sentiment. Here's my card: I hope you will join us and play along - we can't wait to see what you... Read more →
