Hi! I'm popping in to say I'm still hanging in here. I finally jumped onto the hot foil bandwagon, pushed to it by Pinkfresh Studio's March release. I mean, come on. The Joyful Peonies are stunning! This is the first card I made with hot foils. I'm entering it in the Pinkfresh Studios April challenge,… Continue reading Celebrate- Pinkfresh Studios

Alcohol Ink Play
Happy Friday, although, at this point it all just kinda blends together... I mentioned earlier this week that I had done something a little bit different last weekend. It was actually a two step process. First, on my lunch breaks last week, I cleaned out all of the remnants of the candles I've burned down… Continue reading Alcohol Ink Play

Not my usually style, but it was a fun, new technique to try. I started out by blending Fired Brick, Ripe Persimmon and Antique Linen Distress Oxide… Continue reading Sending You Crafty Hugs-Altenew
It’s Your Birthday, Take Two. MFT Card Design Superstar
Sorry for all the confusion. As I said in my earlier post, I asked MFT to take down my original card, as it broke the rules of the contest. I also didn't want anyone to think I was trying for another opporunity by changing my design, so it's almost exactly the same. The only thing… Continue reading It’s Your Birthday, Take Two.

It’s Your Birthday
In an effort to be fully transparent, I asked MFT to delete my link to the card below. I used a non-MFT die to create the circle. It's a die I use all the time, and didn't think twice. After I posted my card, I went back to read the contest rules, and realized what… Continue reading It’s Your Birthday

Let it Snow-MFT Sketch Challenge 453
