Love You Always-Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge

Hello! Boy, I am sooooo very excited about this card. It's a sneak peek into a future post sharing the technique I used for this card. You'll see it's a technique I fall back on often, but with a little twist. I'm going to keep this post brief, but I promise more details in a…

Christmas Tags Take 2

Happy Friday and happy 5 days until Christmas! Since I finished make all of the Christmas cards I needed, and I still had a pile of leftover images, I thought I would make some more Christmas tags. That and I got the Gina K Design's Tiny Wreath Builder as a free gift from Simon Says…

September – Desk Calendar

Hello! I'm a little late,  I shared this layout on Instagram on Friday.  I gave into my cold for a few days, which helped tons, I feel a lot better today! So, here's is a quick post with the details on entry for A Blog Named Hero's October Challenge. The challenge this month was a…

Sending Sunshine and Rainbows

If Friday doesn't deserve Sunshine and Rainbows then I don't know what day does! We made it through the grind of another week, time to celebrate! I have a quick post to share a card I made last weekend, just for fun. Its bright and cheerful, which was just what I needed. I had this…

Grateful For You-Watercolor Practice

Happy Friday! Let's celebrate the weekend by taking a look at Concord and 9th's new set, Grateful for You. I thought this large, gorgeous image would be perfect to practice watercoloring (I snuck in a sneak peak at some no line pencil coloring too). Like watercoloring, I'm also super new to making videos. Please keep…

My Monthly Hero-August 2018

Hello, it's good to have you back! Today I want to share the cards I've made so far with the August My Monthly Hero kit. To my surprise, I made several cards, so this post will be a bit long. The reason there are so many cards is because of that lovely Floral Doily Bold…

Weekend Blues-Backgrounds

Happy weekend! This weekend I'm going to continue to prep the downstairs bathroom to be painted. I swear, I think someone kept a dog locked up in it. The trim is chewed up and pulling from the wall. I also have a bunch of holes to fill up. Never fear, I have crafty plans too.…

Alcohol Ink Wall Art

Hey guys, welcome back! So, here is the wall art I warned you guys about! 🙂 As you know, I recently purchased my first house. When we moved I got rid of pretty much all of my wall art and decorations. Most of what I had was second hand or really cheap. Stuff you end…

Concord & 9th Tintables and Nuvo Shimmer Powder

Wahoo, happy Friday! I'm a week away from being a home owner (commence hyperventilating now). I have some cards to share with you, made with Nuvo Shimmer Powders and C&9th's Tintable cards. I can't believe it took me this long to try this combo! Let's start with my favorite (it was hard to chose). Here…

Watercolor and Masking

Happy hump day! I have a quick post to share some rambling on watercolor backgrounds and masking. It's just something I played around with last weekend, still struggling with that card making block. Here are the panels I made. I made this panel by lining Tim Holtz Watercolor cardstock with thin strips of masking paper.…
