This week’s challenge at Bah Humbug is Holly. For some reason, this was my hardest card to create yet. I’m not sure if I was because I wasn’t feeling particularly Christmasy this week, or because holly elements seemed hard to come by, but I really scrounged through my stash to find elements for this week’s card! Once I found […]
Today, the furr-purrs and I decided a new view was in order, so we packed our bags, so to speak, and went a travelling! Not that we went far – does the ever peaceful Tsunami look like he wanted adventure – or a catnap? But we did make it to the other end of the […]
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 […]
Lately I’ve been in the mood to play with “new to me” items – older products I’ve re-discovered in my stash! So, I’m delighted to fuel the fire with this week’s Everything Old Is New Again Challenge! EONAC3, Forgotten Ink Pads, challenges cardmakers to pull out three ink pads that have not seen the light of […]
Earlier this week, I came across a new challenge blog that is hosting the perfect challenge for all of us who resolved to reduce our stockpiles of accumulated stash throughout the year! The blog is called Raise The Bar, and Challenge #3, The Older The Better, calls for stash-stuffers everywhere to make something lovely out of their old […]
I”ve been on a creative roll this week, which means that each day, my desk has become increasingly strewn with artsy residue! However, I did not take a current shot because today, I wanted to share Part 2 of my blog candy story – what I received from Jennifer at Random Vintage Finds! If you […]
This week, the Design Team at Bah Humbug issued their fourth Christmas Card challenge – make a card that celebrates your love of Christmas ornaments – which meshes perfectly with smArt Word’s February Challenge of the Month – Glitter! So, I pulled out my Christmas finest, and created one sparkly yet elegant Christmas card! If there is one purchase […]
Happy February Everyone! It’s hard to believe that January has come and gone and the month of love and romance is upon us! Spring is also just around the corner – and with that in mind, I present you with today’s card! The inspiration for this card came from Allison at Charisma Cardz, who issued Challenge […]
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 […]
When you were young, did you look forward to giving and receivng Valentine’s Day cards from your classmates? At school, we used to decorate lunch bags and tape them to the sides of our desks to collect cards in! On Valentine’s Day, we would drop cards in our classmate’s bags when they weren’t around so that everyone […]
