The days fly by so quickly, it is already Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge! This week it is a sketch challenge. I didn't follow the sketch exactly but I think you can see the bones of the sketch in my card. Here's what I made using this sketch. I…
Time for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge #307! This is a great sketch by Kaylin, a designer on the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Design team. Nice right? I am going to walk you through my thought process while I was making this card. I knew I wanted to use some Designer Series…
Ready for a Color Challenge? I am going to be honest, this was a hard combination for me. These are not colors that I naturally gravitate towards. The color combination is pretty bold. Which helped me to decide that I needed to make something that had a lot of white space to balance out…
It is Thursday and it's time for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge! This week it is a sketch challenge. Nice sketch right? It just so happens that this sketch is also a great way to announce that the Stitched Shapes framelits are back and available to order. You can read more about…

Also and this is a biggie…
Oh how I struggled with this color combination. I made 2 other projects that just weren't quite right and decided to try one more idea before giving up. Here's the color challenge. I liked this project the best of all my attempts. It could probably use a bit more tweaking but i have reached the…
I just adore this sketch for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday challenge #303. It reminds me of one of my go to sketches. The optional theme for this challenge is Bling for New Year's. I don't often use the optional theme but it was just perfect for the card I wanted to make. I…
I have really enjoyed stamping with the Wonder of Christmas stamp set. This set is retiring and I am going to miss the sweet angel. I wanted to use her for this week's Create with Connie and Mary sketch. I used a new doily that will be available on January 4th as part of…
