Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. Hope you all had a great weekend. I got to play in my craft room this weekend and played along with the Case this Sketch challenge: It's a cool sketch and I decided to have some fun with a new stamp set I purchased called Tulips - from Altenew. Now.... many of you have probably already realized this, but I tend to be a very literal person and flowers only grow upwards - and that's how I place them on cards.

Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Nance's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a color challenge for us: Such a pretty color combo. Unfortunately I don't have Sweet Sugarplum, so I had to substitute with a Zig Watercolor marker instead. I also needed a sketch, so popped along to casethissketch I decided to go really clean and simple on my card and use the new stamp set in the July Simon Says Stamp card kit. Here's my card: The colors remind me of what is happening in our prairie. The wild bergamot (aka... Read more →
