Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you are all staying safe and well. This one is under the wire! I hadn't realized the festivefriday challenge finished today! I made today's card using this inspo list: I'm also playing along with the JAI challenge: I chose insects, yellow and alpha dies. Here's my card: I know you can't see it on the main photo - but I added some shimmer on the wings and on the letters: It was a great challenge and I had fun making my bee card. Another one that is going off to the seniors! I'll be... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's my turn to host the Paper Players challenge this week and it's color week: I decided to go with a color scheme that could be used for kids cards, masculine cards or feminine cards and I love the soft palette.

In this particular time, I believe we are much stronger together - even though we are all so far apart! Here's my card: I hope you will play along with us this week - we would... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Friday. I don't know about you, but I am over the moon that it is Friday! For the past couple of weeks I have been unable to join in the fun and celebrate Freshly Made Sketches 400th anniversary.

So, congratulations ladies on celebrating 400 sketches and thank you all for your hard work and amazing inspiration every week. Here's... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Greetings from a warm and sunny (FINALLY) Minnesota. The temperature today is an outstanding 71 degrees and the sun is shining brightly. I know it won't stay that way for longer than today - but I intend to enjoy it for all that it is worth :-) I did get to spend a little time in my craft room today. I needed to make a card for the Paper Players challenge tonight and I went looking for a sketch. I found this great sketch across at . I love this sketch, but I couldn't get it to work... Read more →
Hi Everyone. It's the fabulous Laurie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a color challenge for us: I started with a Smoky Slate base and stamped flowers from Altenew's Sweetest Peas with the darkest grey. I then colored the flowers with a few different pink pencils that are as close to Melon Mambo as I could get. I added the slightest touch of yellow to the base of the flowers, but the photographs are showing much more yellow/orange than there really is! Here's my card: I hope you will join us and play along.... Read more →
