The newest TIME OUT Challenge is a Pick Two. I chose Pastels and Rain and took some umbrella inspiration from the Just Us Girls Challenge.

We’re still creating with vintage or faux-vintage products at Jingle Belles this week. I started with a photograph of Poinsettias from the 1979 Christmas Ideals Magazine. My Gran always had Ideals on the table in the formal sitting room at her home, and I loved sneaking in and looking through them (kiddos were pretty much … Read more

Today’s cards feature a combination of three products available through STAMPlorations paper subscriptions.
