Welcome to the Thursday Create with Connie and Mary Challenge! This week it is a sketch challenge. Are you ready to see the sketch? It is another wonderful sketch. Lots of possibilities. I decided since the 4th of July is coming up I would make something using red, white and blue. I used the beautiful Flourish…
It is time for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday challenge. Here is what I created for #TSOT277. This sketch is SO versatile and would work for so many stamp sets. How to chose which set to use? I decided that I would pick a set a week to focus on and this week it is…
Just a quick drop in! I had planned a tutorial for today on a card I shared here. Unfortunately the lighting where we are is not very good so I am going to wait to post until I get back into my stamp room where I can better control the lighting. In the meantime…
