Are you ready for the Festive Friday Challenge? I cannot really explain it but this was a tough one for me. I know it should have been an easy one since Stampin' Up!® just released a beautiful new stamp set called Sailing Home that features a lighthouse. For whatever reason I was stuck on using…
Time for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge! This is the last Case the Catalog Challenge. This week the sample we are casing is on page 18 of the 2019-20 Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalog. I decided to case the layout of the card. On today's card I used Stampin' Bends to color the flowers. …
Today's card is a little different than my usual style. It is always good to try something different. What do you think? Pretty shocking that there isn't a single flower on this card. I die cut 4-1/2 labels and did a little surgery on them and cut off the bands. On one of the labels…
