Happy August!
Yippee skippee!!! It is now August 1st and the rest of the Blendabilities alcohol markers are now available. I used a couple of the newly released ones on this card that I created for a sketch challenge that is on this week. I definitely need to keep experimenting...

Swoosh this!
I created this card while experimenting with my new Work of Art stamp set that came out in the new catalog. I have seen some super creative things made with this set and I really look forward to doing more with it. One of the nice things about this card is that it is...
Product Review: Fast Fuse
In the new big catalog Stampin' Up! introduced a new type of adhesive called "Fast Fuse". When I first heard about it I kinda wondered why they did this because we already have a really great selection of adhesives already. I decided to order one to try...
