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 don’t know if the flowers in this Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper are poppies, but they look a bit like them, so I’m going with it and pairing it with Poppy Moments Dies! This beautiful red poppy is actually two colors, but they are very similar so you might…
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…
Here’s a fun sketch challenge today at Create With Connie and Mary. I decided to go with Back On Your Feet and pair it with In The Wild Designer Series Paper. Both will be retiring in 4 days! The Last Chance list is here, if you’d like to get some…
I have a family member who loves birds. She has several birdhouses, bird feeders, and bird baths. For her birthday, I couldn’t think of a better stamp set than Garden Birdhouses for her card! Simple Steps: I stamped it with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with my Blends.…

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…
