Time for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge! Did you know that there is a new sketch challenge posted on the Try Stampin' on Tuesday blog every Tuesday? The great thing is that you have 2 weeks to participate in the challenge. This week's sketch #TSOT309 is a clean and simple one designed by…
I had the Flourish thinlits out for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge #444 and decided to create another card using the same technique but with different colors. This color scheme of white and sliver creates a very elegant card. The addition of the silver glimmer berries and rhinestone dresses up the card even…
It is Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge! This week it is a color challenge. Ready? I am probably going to sound like a broken record but this combination had me stumped! I tried lots of different things and even had another card ready to go when I decided I…
We woke up to maybe 10 inches of snow and it was beautiful. Here's the bird feeder that is right outside of my craft room window. I was happy to stay inside and watch the birds at the feeder and stamp. Do you recognize the flower? It is the Succulents Framelits dies cut out using…

Time for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge #307! This is a great sketch by Kaylin, a designer on the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Design team. Nice right? I am going to walk you through my thought process while I was making this card. I knew I wanted to use some Designer Series…
Ready for a Color Challenge? I am going to be honest, this was a hard combination for me. These are not colors that I naturally gravitate towards. The color combination is pretty bold. Which helped me to decide that I needed to make something that had a lot of white space to balance out…
One of the Sale-A-Bration choices that I have really enjoyed playing with is the Inside the Lines DSP. It is the perfect paper to sit down with and do a little coloring. I used an Aqua Painter and some ink pads to color in the flowers. Nothing fancy but I think it would be…
