The August Challenge at Pinkfresh Studio is to create your own Beautiful Background. I started by embossing the Dotted Scallops Coverplate Die on white cardstock. Somehow I thought it would coordinate with the Geo Arch Stencils, but it does not. However, I decided that things didn't need to line-up exactly to be beautiful, … Read more
We've got Lela Menke joining us as a Guest Designer at Jingle Belles this week with her theme Skinny Santa Slimline – to create a slimline (or mini slimline) holiday card. I chose the mini-slimline for my card featuring the Pinkfresh Studio Mini Slimline Frames. I paired the frames with Pinkfresh Studio Indigo Vines Washi … Read more
The next challenge theme at Shopping Our Stash is She Sells Seashells – to create a card featuring the beach, ocean, sea or seashells. While I love visiting the beach, I seldom buy any beach themed items since am making cards in the landlocked Midwest. I had to do quite a bit of … Read more

So today, I did just that … combining them with designer paper from Pinkfresh Let's Stay Home collection. I used … Read more
My next class at the Pinkfresh Create & Connect Event was a Watercolor Lesson by Manushree Mishra. Unfortunately I had a really hard time seeing which flowers she was painting when she started (because she recommended stamping in a really light ink, which made it hard for the camera to pick-up), so I was way … Read more
The third class of the Pinkfresh Studio Create and Connect was Butterfly Garden taught by Heather Hoffman. I'll confess, when I looked through the class instructions prior to the weekend, I thought this might be my least favorite because it seemed pretty fussy … it turned out to produce my favorite card of the weekend. … Read more

She also had us splattered with watered down black ink which produced soft grey splatter. … Read more
