There are several Feather Challenges this week, which was the perfect opportunity to use this trio of Stampabilities Woodblock Designer Feathers in my collection that have never seen ink. It's always a good exercise to remember how we all stamped before the MISTI (I still stamped onto my mousepad, which as just the right amount … Read more
I realized as I was looking through my yet-to-be-used new stash for this week's Look What Santa Brought Me Prompt at Jingle Belles, that I had yet to ink one of my Christmas gifts that I got from Santa last Christmas (I know … embarrassing), so that is the set I used for this card – Neat & … Read more
The theme at the current Neat & Tangled Little Tangles Challenge is Rainbow, which is perfect for a rainy weekend. I decided my rainbow would be this awesome vintage ViewMaster Designer paper (I loved my ViewMaster … wish I still had it). I kept my image & sentiment from For the Record in Neutral tones with … Read more
When I saw this new Cowbell stamp set from Neat & Tangled … I actually added it to my cart & purchased it immediately. That Saturday Night Live Skit still makes me laugh after all of these years. I stamped the Cowbell on Dark Grey and used a metallic silver pen for the rivets. … Read more

The theme at the Little Tangles Challenge is Birthday. I featured a classic color palette of red, white, blue & silver. Having grown-up in the world of LPs, I love these vintage images for birthdays. The layout is this week's Retro Sketch. I'm also joining the Birthday fun at Seize the Birthday.
When I saw my friend Leslie (aka The Crooked Stamper) was the designer at The Little Tangles Challenge, I had to join the fun. Here's her sketch (you can link-up at her Challenge too). I started with the vertical sentiment from Across the Card and then added two diamonds from Sparkle & Shine. I used … Read more
