Stampin! with Jaydee

Love of Leaves for Festive Friday and Case This Sketch

Happy Saturday! Day 3 of my vacation and I got to spend a little time in my crafting cave. For today's card I used Stampin' Up! Love of Leaves and played along with the sketch at CTS and the inspiration list at Festive Friday: I went with leaves, gold, stitching (and brown) I played around with some Cajun Craze ink and watercolor paper. By layering the levels of water and drying in between, I was able to get a little depth on the water color paper with the ink. I then splattered some gold watercolor ink on top and die-cut...

World of Good Memories and More for Paper Players #506

Happy Sunday! It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week - and its Tic-Tac-Toe week!

Prized Peony for AtlanticHeartsSketches

The temp is 78 degrees, the humidity is low. The grass is almost fully green and all the tree are sprouting leaves. It sure is gorgeous. These are the... Read more →

Thinking of You - Sea Side Treasures

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. I hope you are all having a great start to your week. I am still thinking about Spring and Sunshine and beaches and warm weather.... but, as it snowed this morning, I guess we aren't quite ready for it in Minnesota :-) However, I did want to share a beach inspired card with you today. I really do love this Sea Side Treasures set. I love the realism of the images. It was one of "those" stamp sets that I felt I had to have the minute that I saw it. I started with a watercolor...
