This week and month seem to be flying by! It is already Thursday and time for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge. This week it is a sketch challenge. When I saw the sketch I immediately thought about using the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP. Here you can see that the pretty Ornate Garden DSP…
It is Thursday and time for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge. This week it is a sketch challenge. I wanted to use a set that hasn't been used recently and chose the Band Together stamp set. Love this big floral image. It is fun to color and makes a great focal point. I…
It is Thursday and time for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge #CCMC 632. This week we have a color challenge. Isn't this a great fall color combination? This card turned out just exactly like I envisioned it, this rarely happens so I was pretty happy. I wanted see through panels and the Many…

Ready for another Create with Connie & Mary Challenge? This week it is a super fun Color Challenge! After looking at my card, can you guess what it is? Have you figured it out? Yup, the challenge is to use all the 2020-2022 In Colors. The main In Color I used was Magenta Madness. I…
Have you seen the Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty paper? It is on page 152 of the 2020-21 Annual Catalog. Where it is located in the catalog it can be easily overlooked. In this paper pack there are designs that work as a card front layer and others that are accents. One side is gold…
