It feels like a long time since I last blogged and in fact it has been. We have been on a trip and I scheduled some posts while I was gone so it has been a while since I have written. First, a card that I made a while ago but I don't think I…
If you have followed my blog for a while you know that I am a fan of topiaries. When I saw Beauty & Joy in the Holiday catalog I knew I would have to own it. The pretty plaid paper is from the Wrapped in Plaid 6" x 6" Specialty DSP in the Holiday Catalog. …
Happy Halloween! Hope your day is full of treats! This week the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge is a color challenge. I have never paired Terracotta Tile with Pumpkin Pie but they go together quite nicely! I brayered Terracotta Tile ink on to Pumpkin Pie cardstock using the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks. I have…
The Country Home stamp set is quick and easy to color and it works for so many different occasions. I love the little sentiments you can stamp in the label and the larger sentiments too. It is great paired up with the Come to Gather DSP (Designer Series Paper). I colored the image using Stampin'…
