I don't think it's possible to make a bad card with Memory Box papers … each sheet is its own work of art, and the entire collection works together so beautifully. These papers are all from the new Mistletoe Collection. I used this week's Unscripted Sketch together with a new Let It Snow sentiment stamp … Read more
When I saw this week's Mojo Monday Sketch, I went immediately for my inches … but then, as I was looking for papers, I got side-tracked by my Graphic 45 Halloween in Wonderland papers, and my card took an entirely different direction … and I love the end result. The playing cards & Cheshire Cat … Read more
I finally got my hands on Tim Holtz' Compendium of Curiousities, so I was able to join in the fun for this week's Challenge … Blended Batik.

The PaperCrafts Magazine blog is Challenging readers to use one of their Simple Sentiments for a quick & easy card design. I can't believe I never realized they had all of these fun free downloads.

Since several blogs are celebrating Christmas in July (Our Creative Corner & Stamp Something), so I decided to create another holiday design. I … Read more
Since I had such success with my non-traditional holiday card last week at the Play Date Cafe (it made the the Fab Four), I decided to use this week's Color Splash Challenge to make another holiday-themed design.
