Hmmm…I may be mixing up my biomes here, but I think Quiet Meadow with Delicate Desert make a nice pairing! Hi! It’s Thursday and time for a Create With Connie & Mary challenge. This week we have a sketch to create from. Here is the sketch ~ And here is…
Ready for a spectacular new die? It’s the Ginkgo Branch! This die is so lovely – embossing on the solid leaves and delicate cut-outs on the rest. It die-cut very easily, if you’re wondering. I took my Take Your Pick Tool to gently remove all the bits, but they came…
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…
This is by far my favorite Mini Catalog stamp set! It was my first order from this catalog (altho not my last!) and I still love it more than any other. It’s Soft Seedlings and you can find it on page 53 of the July/December 2022 Mini Catalog. It doesn’t…
I pulled out this paper today and thought, “I want to make something with this.” I had no idea what was going to develop, but this is where I landed. Do you ever craft that way? It’s Texture Chic with a fish! Card Details: Calypso Coral Cardstock ~ base at…

I love plants! My daughter bought me a beautiful rubber plant for my birthday last March. It has these big green, cream, and red leaves. I’ve discovered that the more direct sunlight it receives, the more red comes out. This plant stamp from Plentiful Plants reminds me of it. I…
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,…

Here’s the sketch ~ And here’s my card~ Card Details: Sweet Sorbet Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, scored and folded…

I finally bought Oceanfront! It’s been dog-eared in my catalog since the beginning, but I just now got around to getting it. Bottom line…I love it! It’s a fun companion set to On the Horizon. I used the birds and the sentiment on this card from On the Horizon after…
