Beautiful Wings & Amazing Thanks for #GDP329 Color Challenge

Today I’m playing along with this week’s Global Design Project – Color Challenge #GDP329.  This weeks color combination is Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness and Mango Melody. This is such a bright and fun combination and a little outside my comfort zone if I’m honest.  Here’s the badge for this weeks challenge and as usual there is […]

Grassy Grove Bundle thank you cards

Happy Sunday! Today I’m sharing the thank you cards I made for my customers in January. I have been wanting an excuse to create cards with the wonderful Grassy Grove bundle from the Stampin’ Up!

Cute Valentine’s card

Happy Sunday! I hope you had a good week. I had three wonderful in-person card classes – it is so lovely to be able to gather together once a month and for a few hours share lots of laughter and fun with friends while creating with Stamps, Ink and Paper. Today I’m share a cute […]

Wooden Slice Christmas Decoration using Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Dies

I bulk purchased some wooden slices from Amazon and planned to heat emboss to make decoration but that didn’t work. I suspect I should have painted them first! Anyway the ornaments are really easy to make with half […]
