Happy Friday!!! This week, TGIF Challenges has a sketch challenge that’s really different. I particularly like the strips in the background with their varying heights. I don’t think I would have thought of a layout like that on my own, so it really makes me appreciate these types of challenges. For my project, I used my absolute FAVORITE suite in the entire new catalog: Expressions In Ink. I love EVERYTHING… Read More »

It’s Friday and that means time for a new TGIF Challenge! This week, our theme is “Very Vintage.” That’s right up my alley, because I adore the vintage look.

Welcome to the April Color Fusers Blog Hop! This month, we have a color combination of Seaside Spray, Old Olive, and Real Red.
