It's time for another fantastic Fusion Card Challenge. I loved the colors and flowers … and I'm always a sucker for a sketch with banners. I re-purposed some K & Company packaging (sometimes it's just too pretty not to save) together with Authentique Blissful Papers. I added a Papaya! Arts Glitter Sticker as my focal … Read more
We're still creating cards with layers for Jingle Belles. I decided to use this week's Unscripted Sketch for my design. I layered on three Cosmo Cricket papers from the Sleigh Ride Collection, as well as layering on a sentiment rectangle. I went searching for a die cut work for the title/greeting and saw my Impression … Read more
My husband and I are in the exciting (and a bit stressful) process of buying a new home. That also means we're in the process of selling our home. Our realtor has *suggested* that I turn my studio back into a dining room … which means at this point, about half of my art supplies … Read more
This card is made using one of the *rejects* from yesterdays watercoloring experiment. I started by stamping Hero Arts Vertical Arrows in Versamark and clear embossed before painting with Fireworks Sprays. Unfortunately, the stamp had too much embossing to get a true *watercolor* feel, but the end result was still pretty enough to save … Read more

Tonight I needed some cards for two little guys who just got a new sibling. When I saw this week's CAS(E) this sketch, I thought a banner would be a good idea for one of the sentiments … since I didn't have a stamp for the occasion, I printed it on my printer. Well, I … Read more
Tonight I had a request to make a retirement card for a technology teacher who loves yellow. I love being able to make cards for a specific recipient … but I confess, this one almost stumped me. I realized after an hour of rummaging through every drawer and basket in my studio that I … Read more
We're still getting Sketchy at Jingle Belles this week. For my second card I went for a more rustic look using Cosmo Cricket's Amarillo paper from the Halfway Cafe Collection. I thought the circle element of the sketch just cried out for a holiday wreath, so I stamped Hero Arts Special Wishes in Warm Green … Read more
My niece has a birthday later this month, and I thought it would be fun to make a card from the happy UPCycle Collection from Cosmo Cricket. I combined several elements with this weeks Get Sketchy Sketch for my design. I added a K&Company Girl Scout button to the center of the flower & a … Read more
