Walking in a Washi Wonderland

When I saw the current layout at CAS(E) this Sketch! it just screamed – go play with your washi tape.  So that's what I did this afternoon making five very fun, quick and mailable designs.  The Sketch Challenge is open extra long, so I'm pretty sure I'll make another batch before it's done.     … Read more

When I was pulling out my Halloween papers, I found this fun collection of Monster papers that I thought would be perfect for this week's Sketch from My Favorite Things.   Who would smile if that happy guy showed-up in their mailbox.  Monster & Sentiment are from My Favorite Things Monster Love.
