I love the graphic for The Library Challenge. I had to look it up … it's an award winning cookbook of vegetable recipes. I thought about several food-themed ideas, but ultimately, I wanted to stack stamps or die cuts like the pots and bowls on the book cover. I found several baby-themed die cuts … Read more
It's an Anything Goes Challenge at the Joy Clair blog in April inspired by this photo board. For some reason, even though the pictures are tea/coffee themed, all of the blue made me think of a baby card, so that's what I created. I just love the Joy Clair New Baby Onesie set. I pulled … Read more
I love Baby Onesies, so when I saw the New Baby! Stamp Set from Joy Clair, I knew I wanted to use it to create for our March Collaboration with Joy Clair & My Sweet Petunia (remember leave a comment on all posts with the Collaboration Image for a chance to win at the end … Read more

I had so much fun playing with the new Distress Oxide Inks & my MISTI this weekend. I tried lots of techniques … some worked better than others. Tonight's card is actually made with one of the reject panels (I tried dropping alcohol reinkers onto an Oxide covered piece of watercolor paper hoping for more … Read more
The current Challenge at Impression Obsession is Animal Friends. I chose to feature my adorable Patchwork Elephant for a few baby cards. I die cut the Elephant out of three different scraps of mint designer paper and assembled him. I just bought the Congratulations Stamp with my previous winnings. The layout is this week's Just … Read more
