The Nested Friends stamp set didn’t have my heart at first glance. However, I liked the variety of sentiments in the set and ended up ordering it. I can tell you, I have got my money’s worth out of this set, especially with this bird, using it so many times. I created a background for…
Oh my, I’m in love with this colour combination. Who would have thought it would include Lemon Lime Twist? When Lemon Lime Twist made it’s debut as an In-Color some years ago, I barely used it but since it’s return as part of our core colour range I’m finding it adds that perfect punch to…
On my desk, I have a pile of scraps from projects. These are not cardstock or paper scraps. It’s background scraps or bits of watercoloroured cardstock, an extra die cut leaf, a stamped image, some fussy cut images I had extras of. Many times I may not even remember when I created it or the…

I used the Colour Inkspiration CI136 challenge photo as inspiration with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #570. I watercoloured the…
Do you ever wonder what to do with a stamp set like In the Country from our Sale-A-Bration catalogue? Large images of scenes which you could colour in but sometimes you may not have the time to spend colouring it all in. A sketch such as this one from Freshly Made Sketches is a great…
A traditional card for today’s sketch for the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. The beautiful Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper really works for traditional cards and I love the colours in it. I coordinated with the DSP by adding a focal feature of stamped and die cut pinecones aginst a Cherry Cobbler label. Then I added some liquid glue…
