Happy Tuesday And welcome to a Minnesota where the temps are in the plus 40s - instead of the minus late 30s they were last week! Well, the weather might be confused, but I loved the sketch across at Sunday Stamps this week and had a set that I got as part of a class to use for the challenge. The set is called Cheers and is from Pinkfresh Studios. Here's a sneak peek: The sketch also gave me the opportunity to pull out some DSP that has been sitting in my stash for ages! Oh - and here's the... Read more →
Happy Sunday. It's another challenge across at the Paper Players this week and the fabulous Joanne has such a fun sketch for us.

This time I paired it with a background stamp from Stampin' Up! called It's in the Stars. Here's a sneak peek: I didn't think I would get half as much fun out of these dies as I have and I think they are just perfect for Ronald McDonald House. Here's the challenge from Time Out: I stamped the background stamp and heat embossed it with white embossing... Read more →
Happy Sunday. it's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's color week. The challenge inspired me to ink up a new set that I bought on clearance from Pinkfresh Studio called Celebrate in Style. I also decided to use a color I hardly every use - especially outside of fall - ORANGE!!! Here's a sneak peek: Oh... and here's Anne Marie's challenge: Well, now I think you know why I chose orange - I always think of it as a bold color and it was the first color that came into my...
