Amazing Paper Grace

 I love circles and the new Wednesday Sketch challenge  (SC190) has a circle smack dab in the middle!!  Well, I got busy playing around to see what I could come up with.    Yesterday I played around with gold foil and velvet so today I turned my attention to silver!  Here is the sketch.
 

It’s difficult photographing […]

 
I was dying to play along with the Technique Challenge for the week  (TLC182) which was to make a clear goodie box.  I scoped out some cool black velvet paper that was in my stash and decided to pair it with gold.  Well once I got the box most of the way done, I came […]

Today was the first day of school, yay!!  I saw her off this morning at 6am and she’s home now, and I already have an appointment with her guidance counselor… sheesh!    I forgot how much effort it is to keep everybody on the same page when kids are in school.    I would have had my […]

 
Wow, people emailed me lots of questions about the most recent cuttlebug card that I did.  Many wanted to know the name of the embossing folder I used  and where to get it, so I decided to do another card using that same folder.  The name of the folder is Gratitude and it’s a little […]

 
I have another card to share with you from the Peace on Earth set, newly released by Our Daily Bread Designs.  As soon as I saw this dove, I knew that I wanted to make the simplest card possible using it.   With three different scriptures in the set, initially it was a tough choice which […]

Today is a release day for three new stamp sets and one single available through Our Daily Bread Designs, be sure you click over to the website so that you can see the pictures of each set in their entirety.  Today, I’m sharing with you a project I made that it not just a card, […]

 
It has been a busy week but finally last night after taking care of all the Blog Candy business, I was able to steal away to do some stamping. Thanks for dropping by to leave a comment…my family was helping me cut up the entries and were amazed at all the kind remarks.  Hehe, now […]

This is my August entry for the Divine Design Challenge which is a Bible Verse Challenge where many stampers have made a commitment to offer a card on the 8th of each month that includes scripture holding special meaning to them.  You can read more about the challenge on Lori Craig’s blog  here.  Like me, […]

 
I know, I know….there’s no doubt you are going to say that this is unusual…it is, but I decided to post it anyway.  You see, what happened is I got busy and didn’t have anything else to post.  Last week while cleaning I came across this image sandwiched in one of my old magazines…it was […]

Look what happened!!  I think I got a little bit over zealous with one of my punches. 
This happened 3 or 4 days ago, when I was trying to punch a border out of watercolor paper.  I have not had any issues up until now and I think the punch was getting dull, combined with the […]

To find the beautiful, we must carry it with us.  Don’t you just love that sentiment!!!  Sigh…
My post today is quick and the stamping, simple.  The background is a small square I had left over when I made the background on this card here.  It’s another embossed resist background and the details on how […]

I decided to switch it up a little bit and play with some dark colors.  You’ll be surprised to find no design paper, no embossing, no border punches and absolutely no frills only for today.  This was actually a fun exercise, I decided that I wanted to make my own muted design paper.  I was […]

I needed to make a card for a friend that is under the weather.  This went into her goodie box this morning.  I love it when I’m sending a box - it’s license to make a super, duper double decker huge layered up card -  because it doesn’t have to fit it into an envelope.   […]

My sister shared this with me earlier this week, and it really stuck in my mind.  I know this post is a little bit different from what I normally do, but I wanted to pass this along.  I’ll be back with a card later, but in the interim, you might wanna know…..
 How to Dance […]

I love this little stamp!!  I’m sure you will see this quite often.  At any rate, I wanted to do a smaller size card, which is a rare event for me; this one is 4" x 4" .  It isn’t so much that I love green as these supplies were handy on my table when […]
