This week's theme at Shopping Our Stash is "I don't really need another one or True Confessions from the Team." The challenge is to make a card that includes your weakness … the one thing you always buy, even though you know you have tons at home. For me it's Thank You Stamps … I … Read more
One of my favorite childhood toys was my treasured Spirograph. I loved how you could use different pen colors and various sized wheels to create a wide variety of designs. I've hunted for vintage Spirographs in every flea market and antique store I've ever visited, but no luck. But then I walked into Marbles The … Read more
When I saw this week's Tuesday Trigger Scene in Tangerine photo, I resisted the urge to go with a literal interpretation … and instead made a card that captured how the picture made me feel.

When I saw this week's Muse Challenge Inspiration card by Marion Vagg, I immediately thought … monochromatic washi tape … so I grabbed all of my blue washi tapes and started playing. To get a similar contrast to her design, I added some white rub-ons from my hoarded EAD Designs stash. I'm also joining … Read more
When I saw the Washi Tape Challenge at the Moxie Fab World Blog, I knew i wanted to try decorating some Easter Eggs. I bought some foam glitter Easter Eggs at Michael's this weekend, but despite my best efforts, could not get the tape to stick to the glittery texture, so instead i used those … Read more
This week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger is called Elegant Emerald. I wanted to combine the colors from the photo, a butterfly element, and a female design … and this is what I made.
