Ok…these are the colors we have this week. If you are a Buckeye fan, it’s hard to see these as anything besides Michigan colors. But alas, the challenge was calling, so here is my card… Let’s also see how this card looks in Ohio State colors… That’s better! Regardless of … Continue reading
I saw the Basic Black in the Create with Connie and Mary challenge colors this week, and I thought “chalkboard”. I just love the large greetings and funky script in “Watercolor Words”. I heat embossed the words with white embossing powder to create a bright black and white contrast. Big … Continue reading
I made this card for our team swap this weekend because I love the way that it pulls open. There is an insert piece that is folded in a “Z”. The stamps are all from the set “Lighthearted Leaves” that will be available in our Holiday Catalog starting September 1. … Continue reading
I thought that this week’s challenge colors called for a birthday card, and I just love a bright balloon… I used “Celebrate Today” for the balloon and the greeting, and I used 5 layers of cotton paper for the star on the left. I did sneak one item in from … Continue reading
