Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Claire's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a fun tic tac toe board for us. I was inspired to use a set from Stampin' Up! called Inked and Tiled. Here's a sneak peek: And here's Claire's tic tac toe board. I went straight down the left hand side. Leaves, Orange and Monochromatic. I really do love this Inked and Tiled set and decided to really embrace the orange and go with Cajun. It's the perfect color for fall. I added two different Cajun DSPs for the focal point and... Read more →
Happy Saturday. It's my turn to host the Addicted to CAS challenge this week and I decided to use a code word that I don't often associate with my card making! It was the perfect excuse to ink up a set I got from Stampin' Up! called Rock Star. Here's a sneak peek: Mind you, it's not that this set couldn't work for either gender!

I decided that because it was a clean and simple challenge - and yes, this time I remembered!!! that I would use some left over butterflies that I had die-cut for a Create and Connect class I did with Pinkfresh Studios. It was also the perfect excuse to bring out my stamp quartet die again! Here's a sneak peek: And here's Ann's challenge theme: This card came together really easily, especially as I already...

Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Vicki's turn to host our Addicted to CAS Challenge this week and she has a great code word for us. I was inspired to bring out a die that I bought a few months ago from Alexandra Renke called AR Post fur Dich. I love that you can use it anywhere on a piece of card stock to make it look like the old franked letters! Here's a sneak peek: Love that little pop of pink with the grey and white! Here's Vicki's code word: I thought the just a note theme was perfect for... Read more →
