I thought this week’s colors called for a big greeting and bold shapes, so I used “Watercolor Words” with stars. I heat-embossed stars from “Watercolor Words” on the black card base with black embossing powder. I added a strip of designer paper from the Botanical collection before adding my stars. … Continue reading
This is a sketch that you can really take in any direction. I went with a sweet card for a girl – maybe a new baby girl or a birthday girl. I used “Hello Life” and “Bear Hugs” along with a little strip of paper from the Birthday Bouquet designer paper collection. … Continue reading
I knew right away that I wanted to make an elephant out of our grayish-purple Wisteria Wonder – and that meant play time with “Playful Pals”. This set is just plain fun! With 50 stamps and 18 dies in the bundle, the number of animals that you can make is incredible. I … Continue reading

“Bear Hugs” is proving pretty irresistible! I am using the little bear from the set with one of the greetings from “Apple of My Eye”. I went with a clean and simple layout as suggested by this week’s challenge at The Paper Players. I always love projects that take advantage … Continue reading
I thought I would take advantage of the fact that this challenge is very colorful, but still masculine. I have been anxious to use the Sale-a-bration set “Sky is the Limit”.
