A Nautical Challenge
I created this card to participate in the fantastic milestone challenge out at Freshly Made Sketches. I have added the image for the sketch to the right, and if you click it you will go to their site. I'm not sure if I have ever participated in a challenge of...
A Perfect Butterfly
I actually created this card during the spring, but never got around to sharing it here. Luckily, almost all of the ingredients are still currently available so you could reproduce this one if you are interested. I just adore this greeting from the Perfect Pennants...
Summer Treats
Did you know that Stampin' Up! has a team of stampers/bloggers that post inspiration frequently? Every year the company accepts applications from amazing artists that want to be a member of that prestigious team, and I can't begin to imagine how they make...
Thanks A Latte
Remember a little bit ago when I shared the cute coffee card that I created from the July Paper Pumpkin kit? I had promised to share another project using the same stamps, and this is it! When I created the cards in the kit I used the 8 cup diecuts that included the...
