Amazing Paper Grace

 
I’m getting sad because my month as the Guest Designer at I{Heart}2Stamp is flying by!!   Today’s Sketch For You To Try is a fabulous one!   I made a card for the new sketch (which you can see exclusively HERE) and I fell so in love with the sketch that I decided to make […]

Happy Friday!!  It’s another Flourishes Friday.  Yesterday I was working with the Color Challenge on Splitcoast which called for real red and it’s been laying on my desk ever since.  I decided to put it back in play with the card I was working on today and paired it up with my favorites cream and […]

 I have a quick post today that shows this lovely embossed Christmas Tree.  I’m playing along with SCS Color Challenge CC193 which calls for Black, Red and Kraft.  I love that color combo!!

There are so many fabulous challenges this week, I’ll be back with another one soon!

I’m back with a twist on the Circle Medallion tutorial that I put out some time ago.  I guess it never occurred to me that it would be just as easy to make it with a square or rectangle.  If you’re tired of going around in circles, here’s another frame type to add to your […]

 
A quick post today as I’m in create mode!!  I needed another sympathy card so I pulled together a card based on the new Sketch for You To Try which is hosted by Jen del Muro over at I{Heart}2Stamp.  Lucky me, I get to be Jen’s Guest Designer for November, so I’ve already done one […]

Todays simple card features a new set from Flourishes - Figs and Pomegranates.  It’s a sultry, sultry image and it colors up beautifully.  I so struggled with the pictures here as they don’t show the vibrant green of the watercolored background or the rich sparkle of the gold ribbon I wrapped around a paper frame.  […]

I couldn’t resist casing a card from Wendy Weixler (Wendybell on Splitcoaststampers)  who is Featured Stamper 92 this week.  I set out to look through her gallery and my oh my, it was tough narrowing things down to one card to case.  This week I find myself in need of a sympathy card for a […]

I’m  sharing a Christmas card with you today.  I’m so loving this new Spellbinders Labels 2 Die that  I didn’t waste any time trying it out!   It lends itself very easily to framing an item.  I’m also trying out one of the new sentiments from one of the November released sets from Our Daily Bread […]

I’m back to share one of the fabulous new sets from Our Daily Bread Designs - Psalm 23.   I selected the current Sketch Challenge 201 on SCS specifically because I thought this stamp would serve as a wonderful focal point.  The stamped image is framed with a hand embossed flourish and piercing following the pattern […]

I hope you are having a blessed weekend.  Rest […]

This is one of the simplest cards I done in a while, without the layers that are typical for me.  I was so taken with the Reindeer from the Flourishes Sleigh Ride set.  I envisioned them suited up and ready to go, bridle in and reins laced - that gave me the idea to tie […]

 
Many of you remember that I removed all my ribbon off of spools and rolled it onto matboard bobbins so that I could decrease the huge storage space that rolls command.  (Check out this post to see what I mean. ) Well as I re-rolled the ribbon, I had many empty spools left over and […]

As promised, today I picked a winner for the Blog Candy I described in this post.  Thank you so much for shouting out loud and clear which of the Spellbinders products you love.  It’s great that you love all the new dies and so many top the list of favorites.  As I mentioned the winner […]

I know I promised a post, but I’ve been parked in front of the TV all day preoccupied with the election.  Big hugs to all my American friends - it’s been a long haul to get to this day.  No hints as to who I’m for, I’m simply so proud to be an American, first […]

Well I told you I’d be back if I had another over the top, still can’t believe it, pinching myself, is this a dream kind of thing to tell you.  He he he, well I do!   I woke up this morning to a message that I was Featured Stamper this week over at […]
