Happy Sunday and Happy Easter. May this joyful season fill your heart with renewed hope, love and peace. Greetings from Sri Lanka! Today the fabulous Ann has a wonderful tic-tac-toe for us across at the Paper Players this week. I love tic-tac-toe week as they generally get my creative juices running and get me out of a rut.

This time I pulled out a set of... Read more →

Happy Saturday and greetings from Chan May in Vietnam. It's another Clean and Simple challenge across at Addicted to CAS and Toni is our hostess for this week. Her code word was one of my favorites and inspired me to bring out one of my (very few) betterpress plates - Pressed Bouquet from Spellbinders. Here's a sneak peek: And here is Toni's code word for our challenge this week: Considering I used an awful lot of florals to make the cards before I left on my world cruise - you can see how I would have been excited about this...
