For Merry Monday this week I have a sneak peek at what I think will be a very popular Designer Series Paper, A Walk in the Forest. It’s made even cuter with the new Beary Cute Bundle, another one to buy on September 6 (before it sells out!) Here’s a…
Hi! I’m back for another Merry Monday and I’m using So Very Merry once again. This time it’s with the angel and the beautiful sentiment, Peace and Joy. May I just say right up front that this photo does not do this card justice! In real life, it is sparkly…

How about some shiny gold snowflakes over a dark, moody DSP?! The gold specks and stars in this Lights Aglow DSP inspired me to layer some black and grays, then top it off with lots of gold! I do love the way the light bounces off the metallic gold. Here’s…
