Card Sketch #1 Take Three

Back for round 3 of my card sketch I created.  Here’s what my sketch looks like. One of the best things about card sketches is that they are flexible.  Maybe you want a horizontally oriented card… just flip the sketch!  In this case, I also used the scalloped edge layer horizontally. This card was also [...]

Card Sketch #1 Take Two

Hey everyone!  Just wanted to share my next card inspired by my card sketch.  This is actually my favorite of the bunch! Just as a reminder here is the card sketch. And the card… I think the sewing theme of the papers and stamps really speak to my crafty soul! I colored the spool of [...]

Hello world!

So… I fell off the face of the earth.  We moved into the perfect little bungalow and that overtook our lives.  I learned how to refinish furniture and spray paint became my best friend (there’s a slight chance that I am STILL smelling the fumes from the weeks of spray paint use!).  Then it was the [...]

Where have I been?

Enter The Great Soda Incident of 2010.  I had crafted all morning, took pictures of my creations, edited them for size, and was beginning to post my [...]

So Sorry and a non card Paper Project

I know. Over two months have passed since I updated.  I could spend a paragraph or two explaining all the reasons, but the easy response is, real life and the holidays took over.  I haven’t stamped or created since before Christmas.  I am in a rut I am  s  l  o  w  l  y    trying to break [...]
