Welcome to a new TGIF Color Challenge! This month, we have a bright, beautiful color combination of Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie, and Melon Mambo.

It features the Happiness Abounds Bundle and one of my favorite Sale-A-Bration products, the Silver & Gold 6″… Read More »

I know I tend to gravitate to the same colors, and these challenges really push me to break out of the mold. I NEVER in a million years would have picked this color combo on my own, but I ended up loving it in… Read More »
One of my favorite things about handmade cards is texture! I love the dimension of layers, ribbons, and embellishments. Today, I’m sharing two cards with lots of texture. I made these cards last month, and my goal was to make a birthday card for my son’s fiancé, Josie. She told me her favorite colors are mint green and a cool light blue, so I used a color combination of Soft… Read More »

I had so much fun with this one!!! To start out, I decided to watercolor a pretty background on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. It was very random and included the following colors: Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis, Tahitian Tide,… 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.

It’s definitely not a combination… 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 »
