Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week. Of the choice of stars or hearts, I went for hearts. It was a great opportunity for me to use my new Heart Leaf Posy Pocket from The Greetery to create an interactive card. I used the Knit Wits stencil (also from The Greetery) to create the background and ran that through my Big Shot with the Postal Frames die. I used some of my favorite red Schoolhouse Red card stock from SimonSaysStamp for my Posy Pocket. It was so easy to die cut... Read more →


HI Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Toni's turn to host our Addicted to CAS Challenge and this is her code word: Once I saw the challenge, I immediately knew that I wanted to use the Hero Arts Safari set that was first released as a monthly kit - I think back in 2017.

Hi Everyone Happy Thursday. I hope you are all having a great week. One of the challenges I got to play with this past weekend was this gorgeous color scheme from The Card Concept: Aren't those colors glorious? I was immediately inspired to create..... yes..... you guessed it... a shaker card! I am obsessed with them right now and, I have to tell you, the biggest enabler for me loving shaker's right now is because of Stampin' Up's new foam strips. I LOVE them and they make creating a shaker incredibly easy. I decided to use my new Simon Says... Read more →


Hi Everyone. Happy Friday..... although you won't be reading this until Saturday :-) I corrupted my photo editing software and had to reload it... consequently I missed uploading my AtCAS card in time for the start of the first challenge of the year. You would think that I would NOT have missed it considering we have been on break..... but.. miss the deadline I did. However, here I am... better late than never :-) It's the fabulous Anja's turn to host our first challenge of 2017 and she has a great code word for us. It's also the first challenge... Read more →
