The newest challenge at Sketch~N~Scrap is to use one of four Throwback Sketches. I chose May 20, 2019 for my card. A co-worker is retiring early to go travel the US with us family (can you hear the tinge of envy in my voice). I'm going to miss him a lot, so I … Read more
It's time for another Woodblock Wednesday (#woodblockwednesday) with Amy T. I decided to pull out my too-long-neglected Stampotique collection for today's card. I decided to combine this challenge with the Retro Rubber Color Challenge. I used my GelliArts Press to create a background using the three shades of purple in the challenge. … Read more
Today I broke out my container of Red, White & Blue papers to start making some fun summer cards. How cute are those little inchies from DoodleBug Design Land That I Love papers.

I stamped my Hopi Prayer sentiment from Stampotique in Blueberry ink on ivory cardstock. My background is one of my Gel Press Prints on with navy cardstock … Read more
Did you know you can "dress-up" your MISTI? Maybe Pink is not your "thing" (can't say that is true for me … just ask my little sister who was not the least bit grateful when she inherited my (as she called it) "Pepto Bismal Room" growing-up … yep, my walls & trim were all pink … Read more
It's been a while since I've taken the time to play along with the challenges at Stampotique … and honestly, it felt a bit weird to stamp with wood block stamps after using my MISTI for so long. These fun stamps were speaking to me tonight (Bee-otch & Beauties) The theme of the Stampotique … Read more
