Welcome to the November Stamping Sunday Blog Hop. This month, our theme is “Layer Up” meaning layer up for a cold winter’s night or adding layers to our projects. When I think of a cold winter’s night, I think of sitting by a cozy fire, snuggled under a blanket, and surrounded by beautiful holiday decorations. I also think of my mom’s house in the mountains, with the snow outside and… Read More »
It’s Friday, and that means a new TGIF Challenge! This week, our theme is Christmas in July! It’s sooo hard for me to think of Christmas already. I LOVE Summer and the warm weather, even when it’s super hot like it has been lately. My pool was 91 degrees the other day when I went out to swim laps – heated only by the sun. Ha, while that’s not exactly… Read More »

I think it’s perfect for showing off beautiful patterned paper, and what’s more beautiful than the Shinning Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper? I mean, it’s absolutely gorgeous with all the gold foil accents against navy and vanilla backgrounds!!! I decided to pull out a carry over bundle from last Christmas … the Cottage Wreath… Read More »
Hello and welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop for December 2023! This month, we have a beautiful color combination of Pool Party, Orchid Oasis, and Fresh Freesia.

Welcome to a new TGIF Challenge. This week, our theme is Christmas music. Yay, I love Christmas music!!! I always start decorating over the long Thanksgiving weekend, and I love listening to Christmas carols while I work away. I have many favorites, so I couldn’t pick just one. Instead, I simply looked through my stash and found the Merriest Trees Bundle with this great sentiment. There are lots of music… Read More »
It’s Friday and that means time for a new TGIF Challenge! This week, our theme is the sketch below. I used the Regal Reindeer Stamps and coordinating Reindeer Dies to create my card, along with some beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper (DSP.)

Welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop for October 2023! This month, our color combination includes Wild Wheat, Pecan Pie, and Cajun Craze! I had to really give this combo some thought; it’s way out of my wheelhouse. But as I stared at the ink pads, I thought of sepia tones and that changed my mindset! I even decided to challenge myself further by making a Christmas card versus a… Read More »

7 Days of Christmas : Day Seven My seventh project features the Christmas Lights Bundle and a lot of watercoloring. I die-cut the images from paper that I pre-watercolored with Shaded Spruce, Parakeet Party, Coastal Cabana, Pale Papaya, Sweet Sorbet, and Polished Pink ink for a non-traditional look. I used Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper to paint rainbow stripes of each color. When it dried, I embossed the stamped images in… Read More »
