When I saw this week's CAS(e) this Sketch!, I wanted to revisit a technique I learned several years ago … off-set layering a cutting plate. I die cut the Taylored Expressions Retro Cutting Plate from Blue & Green cardstock (since those were the colors I had on my table from yesterday's tag. I layered … Read more
Today's tag is inspired by Lin Brandyberry's Tag from day 10 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags. I loved the idea of making a leafy wreath. Rather than using a bunch of die cuts of the same leaf shape, I used the My Favorite Things Wild Greenery Die-Namics and cut them multiple times … Read more
Another baby card using the MFT Die-namics Baby Onesie Die and this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge. I die cut the Die-Namics Baby Onesie from adorable Rockin' Monkey Paper from the Basic Grey Oh Boy collection and Blueprints 33 Die-namics with coordinating cardstock. Sentiment is from MFT More Essential Sentiments.

The first thing I discovered was that I had four different vintage trading stamps in blue, so that's where … Read more
The Color Throwdown Challenge this week is all about Watermelon (and technically cake, another of my favorite food groups). I love Watermelon … and I eat it with salt the way my Grandma taught me. You can see from this picture (that was in our local newspaper) that my love of watermelon goes way … Read more
What better way to celebrate the beginning of Summer (in the US) than by making cards that feature SNOW at Jingle Belles this week … it might mean snowflakes, snowmen, or a snowy scene … just make sure your card features some of that wonderful white stuff. I love non-traditional color combinations for my holiday … Read more
