This week, Sentimental Sundays challenged us to try a new technique or style, so I delved into Kard Krazy’s Tag Tuesday Challenge and created my first altered torso – combining it with Heart 2 Heart’s Tag You’re It Challenge for good measure! My design began with the fabulous Dressmaker’s Mannequin Template found at Mirkwood Designs. Next, I chose pink and […]
I created this ATC for my friend Linda as part of a Name ATC Swap I’ve been participating in for several months now. Linda is a tremendous woman of faith, and I wanted send her a card to commemorate that. I chose the pretty blue and purple color scheme and added the delicate flowers to provide […]
It’s a perfect weekend here in the States – we are celebrating Memorial Day and the unofficial beginning of summer – so I thought I’d make another All Occasion card using CTMH’s Perfect Day Level 2 papers and My Stickease products! The papers feature the fresh color combination of Juniper, Sorbet, and Tulip. The unusual embellishment […]
Happy Earth Day everyone! When I think about Earth Day and paper crafting, I recognize the importance of breathing new life into the materials we already have on hand, so today I thought I’d share a few ways I’ve done that in my own creative life! I created Love Letter for a color-themed swap using scraps and a […]
I enjoy creating and receiving non-traditional birthday cards – so several years ago, when I first saw CTMH’s D1036 Heritage stamp set, it was the sentiment “love deep, live long” that turned this into a “must have” for me. What a beautiful thought to express to a loved one! This week at Pile It On, Challenge 14 […]
This week, with so many friends feeling under the weather, I thought I’d send some cyber-cheer via this Get Well Card! Prayers and hugs are going out to Kindred Spirit Christina who is home after her recent hospitalization – to Carla – and to all who are in need of some extra TLC! To create […]
What comes to mind when you hear the phrase Silver and Gold? For me, a rhyme I learned long ago has been running through my mind ever since I heard that Our Daily Bread’s 2nd Anniversary Day 3 Challenge was Silver and Gold: Make new friends but keep the old.One is silver and the other is gold. […]
No matter where one goes or what one does, it’s always nice to have a notebook on hand to jot down one’s thoughts, ideas, notes, to do lists, messages, and whatever else happens to pop into one’s mind! So, for my second OWOH RAK giveaway, I will be sending this altered notebook and pen to one […]
I designed today’s card to celebrate Sir Stampalot’s move to their spacious new shop in Peterborough, UK! We’ve Moved combines older stash (a My Mind’s Eye Frame Up, a Paper Bliss House, black and white cardstock) with new toys (CTMH’s Around The Block Stamps, CTMH Black Archival and Dye Inks, and Skittles) for a dash of old school charm. If you’d […]
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 […]
