Sheltering Tree – Still a Fave
“Sheltering Tree” made its debut in January in the Occasions Catalog. Its adorable accessories make it perfect for any season, so I think it will be around for a long time. Lining up the multi-step stamps is so easy because the set is photopolymer. Also, because of the steps and … Continue reading

Gold Dragonfly
This week’s Create with Connie and Mary challenge is a pretty color challenge. For me, it was also a great reminder to use Perfect Plum. It is a color that I have been neglecting. The dragonfly from “Awesomely Artistic” is so eyecatching, and I heat embossed it on vellum for this … Continue reading
