What’s funny is that I end up ordering a bunch and then wanting to keep it in my stash just to look at it!!! I have to force myself… Read More »
Hello! This week, we have a sketch challenge at TGIF Challenges. I chose the Sunkissed stamp set from the new July-December (JD) Mini Catalog. I’m still in Summer mode, so I was delighted to see this cute stamp set on page 69 of the Mini. It’s intended for stampers who spend the holidays in warm weather, but it’s got some great year-round sentiments that work perfectly for right now! The… Read More »
Happy Independence Day to everyone in the USA, and welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop for July! This month, our color combination includes Petal Pink, Poppy Parade, and Smoky Slate. I have to admit that it was a bit of a challenge for me. At first, this combo made me think of Valentine’s Day and I struggled to think what to do with it. It’s definitely not a combination… Read More »

Since I just attended Creativity Now last weekend, an online crafting event for demonstrators, I… Read More »

Welcome to a new TGIF Sketch Challenge! Today’s sketch is one I use quite often, so it wasn’t a big stretch for me. Haha! I think it’s my “go to” sketch. In fact, I frequently need to remind myself to do something different so I’m not too boring. 🙂 Because this sketch is so simple, it leaves a lot to imagination. So, I decided to really dress it up with… Read More »

7 Days of Scrapbooking – Day Three. I have to confess that when I was asked to join this event, I thought it would be impossible for me to complete 7 pages in time. I don’t make scrapbook pages that often, so I feel like I’m sort of slow. But I seriously surprised myself. The more I did it, the more fun I had, and the more incentive I got… Read More »

But what’s… Read More »
