In this layout, Jen T. gives us a great way to highlight a small element on the right side of this card. However, in my version, the matted piece under the banner grabs the attention. Hopefully, the letters for “LOVE YOU” jump right out at you. That is the main … Continue reading
This was a popular card in last week’s Card Buffet, and it is a good example of how a background stamp gives you a base for just a few elements. I particularly like the fact that Off the Grid (Annual Catalog p 108, $11.95) has ragged edges and an irregular … Continue reading
This color challenge uses colors I probably would not have put together on my own, but I found that Crushed Curry adds a nice pop of color against Smoky Slate. Here is a look at the Challenge: And here is the card I came up with: It’s a pretty simple … Continue reading

Well okay, it’s actually Starfruit-Pistachio, but that just doesn’t have the same ring to it! Summer Starfruit, Pistachio Pudding and Basic Black are the colors of this week’s “Create with Connie and Mary” Color Challenge CCMC292. I have to admit that I wasn’t terribly inspired by these colors. Why couldn’t … Continue reading
The components of today’s card are very geometric and chunky. There is a lot of pattern, but you really only notice the portions done in color. The designer papers are from Kaleidoscope, and the greeting is from Geometrical. The flower and pattern on the Strawberry Slush diamond are from Eye-catching … Continue reading
