Pineapple Punch may have retired last month, but it’s still on my shelf! And when I saw how beautifully it matches this green sheet of Artistry Blooms, I got very excited! So this artistry blooms in greens (and yellow)! Details: Pineapple Punch Cardstock (retired), 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, scored and folded at…
As I continue my adventure with watercolor, I decided to try “painting” this image and created a Prized Peony CAS (clean and simple) card. In fact, it is so clean and simple that I hesitated to even post it. But then I saw the Festive Friday Challenge and it fits pretty…
I’m going out on a limb this morning, posting a first attempt at watercoloring with stamps & ink. Please indulge me here ~ I know I will get better with practice! But we can’t see improvement if we don’t compare everything to where we started, right? It’s World Watercolor Month,…

I have a Terrific Tuesday Tip for you today! Problem: I take a die out to use on a project and I can’t remember which set it went to in order to put it back! Ever happen to you? Maybe I’m just a messy crafter, but I don’t think I’m…
