I finally had the chance to play along at the Friends with Flair Challenge at Unity Stamps … the first of 2015. I used the Tall & Skinny Sketch at Mojo Monday (mine is 4" x 8 1/2", which fits in a standard business sized envelope) together with Unity's Quiet Voice, which is a quote … Read more
The new AEI♥U Challenge is Paper Piecing, which was perfect for my new Made With Love stamps. I cherish every knitted or crocheted item my friends or family have ever made for me (and thankfully I have friends & family with mad skills).

When I saw this card by the talented Amy T, I knew I had to add the Hero Arts A Little Set to my studio. In my case tonight, the solution is WINE vs. Chocolate, but likely either will improve the situation. I used this week's Freshly Made Sketch and a gorgeous button I've been … Read more
I love the layout, pink & blue color palette, and cluster of elements adorning the tag on Lin Put's inspiration card at the Tag You're It! Challenge.
