I'm still having fun with the September #abcprintingchallenge. K is for Key – I used 3D Glue Dots and an acrylic block with my husband's key knife to do some prints. L is for Layers. I printed & rotated using the Pinwheel Brick Stencil by Lizzie Mayne from Stencil Girl and Catherine … Read more
I had a few Gel Press My Favorite Things Die-namics Falling Leaves leftover from yesterday's card, and they were too pretty not to use them for another card. This one is inspired by the Fall Fun Challenge at The Paper Players Challenge. I paired a couple of fall papers using a Sketch … Read more
The current challenge in the Unity Facebook group is a fun Sketch idea … using 6'x6' paper pads with your Unity Stamps. Since once again my masculine birthday cards are depleted, I chose Echo Park Paper Co. Happy Birthday Boy papers for my layouts. For card number 1, I chose an overall patterned … Read more
We're channeling our inner Elvis at Jingle Belles this week and creating a BLUE Christmas. I decided to shop my Gel Press drawer for my blues using a fabulous Sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap … and of course some perfect blue inks from Catherine Pooler. The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Company Holiday Joy Christmas … Read more

The current Simon Says Stamp challenge is Wild and Wonderful … to create a card featuring something Wild. I immediately thought of my Stamperia Arctic Antarctic Papers.

We're big Schrute Farms fans at our house (it's the name of my husband's fantasy baseball team), so there we have several pieces of beet-themed art. And of course, I couldn't resist … Read more
