Happy Friday - again! I managed to get some time in my craft room today and played along with a color challenge from Color Throwdown. I just loved these bright colors, especially on a dull day! I brought out my Waffle Flower Postal Collage Spring Breeze and used 3 of the stamps from the stencil set. Here's a sneak peek: And here's the challenge badge from Color Throwdown: The Postal Collage Stencils from Waffle Flower are so easy to use and I love that you can use the output as a whole sheet of stamps, or cut them and make...

Happy Tuesday. Greetings for a very warm (for the season) Minnesota. I got to play along with a challenge from CAS Colors and Sketches today.

It's a set called Tea for Two from Alexandra Renke. Here's a sneak peek: Pink and green - perfect for Spring!
