Please don’t think I’m dark and twisty (yes, I’m a huge Grey’s Anatomy fan!) but recently, I’ve been preoccupied with little black hearts. You see, while organizing my chipboard, I came across the cutest little hearts from Magistical Memories and thought it would be cool to create some non-traditional Valentine’s with them. So, I broke into […]
EONAC3 & 365 Cards #336 Grunge Card

Love Deeply: Multi-Challenge Card
I have a small confession to make. In the past few weeks, I’ve become hooked on design challenges! It’s been so much fun to visit different blogs, delight in the smorgasboard of ideas set before me, and choose a few to participate in (there’s never enough time to do them all!) I love sharing my favorites finds. Recently, I divided […]
Bah Humbug #3 – All That Glitters
This week, the fine folk at Bah Humbug challenged participants in their year-long Christmas challenge to make a glittery Christmas card.

Jingle All The Way – Ice, Winter, Bling
Jingle All The Way is the third ATC in my Wonder Of Winter series.

I’ve also discovered some wonderful design blogs along the way. Here […]
Snowflake ATC (PDCC12)
I have always loved the color blue. I also naturally gravitate towards monochromatic color schemes. Therefore, I was thrilled to learn that this week’s challenge at The Play Date Cafe offers the opportunity to combine both faves into a project of choice! The Play Date Cafe’s Challenge of the Week (PDCC12) is to interpret the icy […]
