Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's sketch week! This sketch was the perfect one to use two of my new die-cuts called Paper Goods and the other called Crafty Hands from MFT and an old favorite called Pretty Postmarks from The Greetery.

Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Claire's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's color week. I have to admit... these colors are so not me.... BUT.... in the end I loved them. This challenge also gave me a chance to play with some new goodies that I got in the Crafty Hands Card Kit. You can buy this set of dies separately, but I got them as part of the kit. Here's a sneak peek: I'm guessing you realized that green and blue were two of Claire's colors :-) I'm also entering this card in the... Read more →
