Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's sketch week. For the sketch I was inspired to ink up the Just My Type set from Stampin' Up! and pair it with some DSP from the Delightfully Eclectic. Here's a sneak peek: And here is LeAnne's sketch: I generally don't use a lot of DSP (although I seem to have a never ending stock of it in my craft cupboard :-) But I decided to embrace the DSP and use it on this card. Instead of the ribbon, I went with a... Read more →
Happy Saturday. I have a quick post for you today. I managed to get into my craft room to play today - the first time in a week or so. I went looking for some inspiration and found some across at Freshly Made Sketches. The sketch inspired me to ink up the Sweet Citrus stamp and die set as well as the accompanying embossing folder. Here's a sneak peek: And here's the sketch from Freshly Made: I really liked the idea of leaving the bottom blank. I actually made two versions of this card - a very clean and simple... Read more →

Happy Saturday. We have another challenge at Addicted to CAS, and I was inspired to ink up a new set from Altenew called Sweet Bouquet.

For today's card, I decided it was time to put on my big girl panties and take another stab at water coloring! Here's a sneak peek: Pretty pink and pastels? OK.... where did the real Jaydee go, and will... Read more →
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's color week! With the colors that Ann chose I just had to go floral:-) I decided to use a set I got from Altenew called Himalayan Poppy. It's a big bold floral image and I thought it would work perfectly with the colors. Here's a sneak peek: And here are our challenge colors: I stamped the image and colored it with Copic markers and colors as close to the ones that Ann chose as I could. I decided it needed a pop of... Read more →
