Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. I am so pleased that we are past the mid-way point in the week and on our way to the weekend :-) One of the challenges I played along with this week is this sketch from Case this Sketch and combined found another great technique challenge that provided me with the idea that I needed. CAS on Sunday is having a technique challenge - use a stencil! I was really drawn to the vertical design on the one side of the sketch and had the perfect stencil to create it. I used two shades of pink... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Sunday. Hope you are all having a great weekend and staying warm! It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's a CAS challenge.

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you had a great weekend. We certainly did! I managed to get a couple of challenge cards done this weekend. I saw this great challenge across at cas-ual fridays and couldn't wait to play along. It's so rare that I actually make anything other than an A2 card, that it was wonderful to take on a challenge that forced me to get out of that rut. I had so much fun playing with a different size of card, that I made two different cards! I really wanted to keep it clean and simple. For... Read more →
