I followed this week’s sketch pretty closely, using bright flowers and leaves from “Friends & Flowers” in the flower element’s place. I started with a Soft Sky background, with polka dots sponged in Soft Sky over the Dots Mask. The designer paper is from the Everyday Chic collection. I chose … Continue reading
This color challenge struck me as nautical, and I thought “By the Tide” suited it well. I pulled some random shapes and textures together in these colors, and this is what I came up with. I don’t know what kind of fish that is, or what color he should be, so … Continue reading
For this sketch, I used one of my favorite sets for fussy-cutting – “Apple of My Eye”. I think the images in this set are my favorite to cut out because they are easy shapes! The background pattern is from the Farmer’s Market designer paper collection. I stamped the pear … Continue reading
We have a sweet color challenge this week at Create with Connie and Mary. I started off with a nature set, but didn’t like the direction I was going. The end result?…a cake! Even the cake started out as one thing, and ended as another. I thought I would make … Continue reading

It’s still gray (and brown!) in Ohio, but the calendar says it is spring. It can’t be long until we brighten up. In the meantime, I used this week’s sketch with some bright flowers to chase away the gray. Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight…don’t they just make … Continue reading
Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers hop for March. This month’s theme – “Wedding Dreams”. You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog (Chris Slogar) or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, … Continue reading
I chose to use sections of lemon as the focal point on this sketch. I guess I was just in the mood for some bright colors! You can’t get much brighter than Crushed Curry and Cucumber Crush. They go well with the citrus theme. I haven’t used the Cherry on … Continue reading
