Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Raga's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and this is her code word Well, it was hard to get inspired by "rain" as we haven't seen much of that this year and we don't have any in the forecast either. It's amazing how much I miss it when we don't have it! However, the code word was a perfect excuse to bring out one of my old Stampin' Up! sets called Beautiful You. It's another one of those staples that is never likely to leave my craft room. I stamped the... Read more →
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week - and it's sketch week. I don't generally create cards without a sentiment, but one of the agencies that I'm sending cards to wanted bright patterned papers with no sentiment.

Ha ppy Saturday.

This time I went with a very clean and simple version and kept the whole card to 3 elements - the two pinwheel circles and the large sentiment. Here's my card: I hope you will join us and play along this week. We would love to see what you make with this code word. As always, the... Read more →
Happy Sunday It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and this is her theme: I decided to go with both stars and stripes! It was a great excuse to bring out my new Tartan Builder stencils from The Greetery and I paired it with the Let's party stamps and dies. I created the tartan in blues and greens and had such fun. Seriously, this stencil set is so easy to use - and so versatile! Here's my card: I hope you will join us and play along with Anne Marie's challenge - it... Read more →
