It’s Thursday again, and we have another CASE the Catalog Challenge at Create With Connie & Mary! This week, our inspiration card can be found on page 61 of the Annual Catalog. I saw those repeated words and thought I’d go with Biggest Wish for CCMC725. Here it is ~…
This week it’s a color challenge at Create With Connie & Mary, and we have the beautiful combination of Orchid Oasis, Balmy Blue, and So Saffron. I saw the purple and yellow together and thought about the pansies we used to have in our flower bed! Out came my Pansy…

We end the month of May with a sketch challenge at Create With Connie & Mary. As easy as last week’s card was, this one was way more challenging for me! But that’s what I enjoy about these sketches – they really stretch my creativity! I decided to work with…
I made this birthday card for a special friend, Connie. I don’t think she’ll mind if I share it with you. (Connie, I know you’re reading this – feel free to comment!) It’s my first run with the Hues of Happiness Suite Collection, and I think it’s so pretty, I…
I have a family member who loves birds. She has several birdhouses, bird feeders, and bird baths. For her birthday, I couldn’t think of a better stamp set than Garden Birdhouses for her card! Simple Steps: I stamped it with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with my Blends.…
