We’re back this week with a color challenge at Create With Stamping Friends. This week we have Granny Apple Green, Early Espresso, and Melon Mambo to work with. I’m taking a risk with this simple Simply Zinnia card, as it’s on the Last Chance List. I’m counting on it still…
We start September with a Color Challenge at Create With Stamping Friends! Today’s color combination was truly a challenge for me. My first go-to is DSP but there is nothing with these three colors in it. I started looking through the catalog (great way to get inspiration, by the way!)…

It’s Thursday, and I’m back with Create With Stamping Friends! This week we have a color challenge. When looking at these colors, I was pretty sure I would be making a floral card. I landed on Transluscent Florals, mainly because I hadn’t used them in a while. Don’t you love…
I’m going with Textured Floral for this sketch challenge at Create With Connie & Mary this week. Here’s the sketch ~ And here’s my card~ Textured Floral has a beautiful watercolor-like assortment of blooms and leaves. It’s a classic floral. It’s been around for awhile but I’ve rarely used it…

I’m so excited! My Trucking Along Bundle arrived while I was gone on vacation, and I couldn’t wait to try it out. I know that if you weren’t johnny-on-the-spot when it became available again, you missed getting the punch. It will be back in the Fall and you’ll have another…
April is such a beautiful month in our garden! The California Poppies paint a magnificent splash of color. It always inspires me to pull out the Painted Poppies Bundle and attempt to capture it in paper. Obviously nature wins the prize, but it is fun to play! These stamps and…

This week at Create With Connie & Mary we have another CASE the Catalog challenge. You’ll find the inspiration card on page 39 of the 2022-23 Annual Catalog. I chose to use Uniquely Artistic for CCMC724. While I did leave off (perhaps) the main focal point of their card,…
