This week we have a sketch challenge at Create With Stamping Friends! I love a good sketch ~ one that you can interpret different ways. I took this sketch and “saw” the embroidery hoop being the center point with “You Inspire Me” as my sentiment. Here’s the sketch: And here’s…
Here’s a pretty little faith-based card that would be perfect for Easter or to anyone needing some hope! It uses the all-new Lovely Garden DSP. This Designer Series Paper is from the newly released Online Exclusives. It’s called Lovely Garden and was quickly my favorite! Here’s a peek at all…
We have a color challenge for this final Thursday in February. Today we are using Boho Blue, Pebbled Path, and Cajun Craze. I found two of these colors in my Storybook Moments DSP. The third color works well for a frame! Here’s the challenge board: And here’s my card: Is…
I love coffee! I can’t wait to get up in the morning and hit the “brew” button! So I made this card for my husband, who knows my morning coffee routine. This will mean a lot to him! ❤️ He is the best part of my day! (right after my…

Here’s another pack of Designer Series Paper that I haven’t used yet. It’s Mediterranean Blooms ~ pretty with hand-painted oranges and lemons. I did not buy the stamp set/die bundle (although I’m not sure why, as it’s very nice!) so I hadn’t dipped into the DSP yet. To keep with…

Last fall I went up north to watch my youngest daughter compete in a cyclo-cross event. If you haven’t heard of this sport, you’re not alone. I hadn’t either until she started competing in them. It’s basically a bicycle race on a short but harrowing course of hills, pits, water,…
