My intention when I started these cards was to use this Mojo Monday sketch posted at Poetic Artistry. However, once things started coming together, I realized I couldn’t make it work exactly as designed. When I placed the sentiment at the bottom right, it covered up the little character’s feet, making them look off-balance. I … Read more
When I saw Card Positioning Systems Sketch #29, I though it would be perfect for one more late night creation. This card combines K&Company Halloween papers with a little Basic Grey Color Me Silly! The witch image is from a sheet of the 12×12" K&Company specialty paper pad. The stamps are from a four-image cube … Read more
This card is for another great Weekend Sketch Challenge by Beate. This was card that came together as the process unfolded. I really had no idea what the end product would look like when I started stamping other than the sketch & knowing I wanted to use more of my new products I picked up … Read more
This is a double challenge creation that reminded me why I seldom use micro-beads. I not only have a bead covered card, but also a bead covered table and bead covered carpet. Once those little beads start rolling around, they are very difficult to catch. This card is for the Caardvarks Weekend Micro Bead Challenge. … Read more

I realized this pretty Paper Salon Karen Neuburger Serenity swatch book papers contained these shades, so I added them to the design. I added … Read more
Today’s SCS Inspiration Challenge is Poppy Nine Patch by Don Li-Leger on Art.com. There are so many beautiful cards in the Gallery. I decided to take my inspiration from the two sage panels on the left. I used the final scrap of my Cosmo Cricket Wanted paper and stamped Agapanthus Cluster by Stampendous in Warm … Read more
This card is for Beate’s Weekend Challenge #16. I knew the layout would require a tall image, and I had been wanting to ink up this Diva Lady Tiffany from Rubber Romance that I picked up at Eclectic Paperie. After the very soggy week we’ve had, it only seemed appropriate. I stamped her on Ivory … Read more
I thought I’d try out this week’s Who’s Pushing Your Buttons? challenge at Daring Cardmakers. I picked up a fun Foof-a-la bag of buttons at Frugalities that I wanted to try out. I found this scrap of Bazzill Bling Brown (also from Frugalities) and a scrap of Cosmo Cricket Wanted DP lying on my work … Read more

I decided to try this week’s Sketch Challenge on SCS. I got this fun textured K&Company paper from a … Read more
