Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. I am so glad that we are past the "hump" of the week and are on our way to the weekend :-) I seem to be a little obsessed with shaker cards this week and was inspired to create a valentine's themed one when I saw the challenge across at Just Us Girls - and the great color scheme and inspiration photograph at Card Concept seemed to be a perfect match for my inspiration.

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. There's a great challenge across at cas-ual fridays this week. So, who didn't immediately think of the Lone Ranger and starting humming along :-) I know I did. Well, let me see. A clean and simple card and an opportunity to use some silver glimmer paper.... that was a challenge I couldn't pass up. Here's what I created A silver wedding anniversary card. I was really pleased with how it turned out. I really love the white with the touch of black and the glimmer of the silver paper. On a personal note: Don't forget that... Read more →
