When I turned 13, for my birthday I got to update my bedroom and pick the colors … and I chose Navy and Pink. My Gran made me a new Navy Bedspread with pink flowers. Even my walls were painted pink (much to my sister’s chagrin as she later had to live in what she … Read more
I absolutely love these gorgeous fabric tapes from Timeless ARToptions Alena by 49 and Market. I used all four tapes from the collection to cover the card front. I added the Fancy Mom and Shadow Die Cut from Simon Says Stamp and a Spellbinders Timeless Sunset Butterfly Sticker that works with the butterflies in the … Read more
This week at Jingle Belles we’re asking you to go back in time … okay, not literally, but figuratively … as we go Walking in a Vintage Wonderland. We’re making cards that feature vintage (or faux-vintage like Tim Holtz is so good at). And … one lucky participant will receive some awesome goodies from Lauren’s … Read more
Another week of skipping through blogland (have you tried skipping lately … it seemed so easy when we were younger). Have a tremendous Thursday!

When I saw the AAA Birthday Washi Tape Challenge, I knew I had to join the fun. I decided to see if I could use the colors from the TGIF Challenges (which resulted in multiple rolls of washi tape being permanently retired to the trash can … some brands do not age well), but I … Read more

For this card, I cut them into a tag for the Seize the Birthday Add a Tag Challenge. I added purple ribbon and blue thread, and then I attached it to one of … Read more
