Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's theme week. It might not feel like Spring around here yet, but making a card for our challenge this week inspired me to bring out the spring colors! This challenge was the perfect opportunity to ink up a set I got this time last year from The Greetery called "Springtime". Here's a sneak peek: So, from the sneak peek, you probably saw that our challenge is: I was certainly inspired by all the pastel colors from the inspiraation photos - and, of course,... Read more →

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday I hope you are all having a great week so far! I did manage to make two more cards this weekend. There is a really fun challenge across at alacardmonkey this week. A sketch challenge combined with a theme. I had such fun playing with this! Isn't that image, cute? Great sketch layout, too. I decided to do something different for the image and went looking for some digital images that I could use, because I didn't quite have a stamp set that was working for me. I found a fabulous image across at digistamp boutique.... Read more →
