Happy Sunday It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's sketch week. I thought this sketch was a perfect showcase for some DSP.

Happy Saturday It's the fabulous Raga's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and I used her code word as an excuse to ink up my just arrived Brewed for You. I've seen so many great cards made with this set and I paired it with a stencil from the Stamp Market. The stencil gave me my grid and also acted as a ground for the focal elements. I finished off the card with a stitched frame and popped the beers up on foam tape. I thought of my folks the minute I saw this set. Although... Read more →

They are tremendously easy to put through the post and can be as simple or as complex... Read more →
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Claire's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's color week! The colors inspired me to create a whole lot of super hero themed cards for kids! I used PaperRose.com.au Super Hero and Stamping Bella's Superbella. Here's Claire's colors: I used similar elements for all of these cards. I used the Paper Rose for the younger kids and the superbella for the girls that were a little bit older. I also colored them with different skin tones and hair colors - I mean, not all super heros are the same, right? Here's... Read more →
