Greetings! I hope you are all enjoying some beautiful Spring weather! I know the birds are loving it, because they are singing up a storm in my yard. Such a lovely sound! I’m giving my in-person class attendees a little sneak peek of one of our cards for Friday’s class…
This week’s Create With Connie & Mary challenge put me into a bit of a St. Patrick’s Day mood! Here we are in March 2023 and these colors, particularly the Shaded Spruce and Mango Melody seem ☘️! And “So lucky to call you friend” fits perfectly! Here is the challenge…

I’ve been pretty obsessed with Fancy Flora DSP lately (could you tell?😄) and thought I would try making one with this pretty pink, blue, and aqua piece today. I’m calling it Fancy Flora Diagonal Strips, because that’s exactly what it is. It looks pretty simple, but actually…. well, let me…
We’re starting off the new year with a color challenge at Create With Connie & Mary. Today’s challenge is Sweet Sorbet, Balmy Blue, and Mint Macaron. I pulled out a bundle from the Annual Catalog that’s fairly new to me, Potted Geraniums, and decided it was time to ink them…
Good Monday morning! I’m going back to the Annual Catalog today. We are in that weird transition between Christmas and the new catalog, so I thought I’d re-visit some of my older products! Here’s what I ended up with ~ a combination of Texture Chic DSP and the Uniquely Artistic…
It’s a sketch challenge this Thursday at Create With Connie & Mary! Sketch challenges are fun because you can use any colors, any papers. You just need to (roughly) follow the sketch suggestion. Everyone will interpret it differently. I’ve chosen our new In Color, Parakeet Party, plus the Perfectly Penciled…
While we were in Greece on the island of Naxos, we saw gorgeous pink flowers everywhere. This photo, taken on a couple’s farm where we spent the day, is the inspiration for my card today, using Wisteria Wishes in pinks. Here is my card ~ Details: Pacific Point Cardstock base,…
Wow, May already!!! I’m always surprised by how fast time goes by. When this goes to publishing, I’ll be exploring Greece! But thanks to technology, these weekly posts should come off without a hitch (fingers crossed!) My friend and I have been planning this trip since before Covid, and have…
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…

It’s Thursday again! This week we have a color challenge for Create With Connie & Mary ~ this pretty combination of Just Jade, Pear Pizzazz, and Calypso Coral. This combination immediately reminded me of one of our Designer Series Papers, so I went with Artfully Composed for CCM712! I took…
It’s time for our March posting of CASEing Coast to Coast! Rosanne Mulhern and I will take you from her studio in Pennsylvania to mine in California with a click of your mouse! This month we have a theme challenge: Baskets, Bunnies, & Blooms ~ just in time for Easter.…
Do you ever get an idea in your head and then struggle to execute that idea? No? Only me, huh…! 🙂 I wanted to look out a window to see some of our beautiful New Horizons DSP. It (kind of) worked here. This is Welcoming Window View On the Horizon!…
