Just a little note.....

Hello! Thought I'd share a card today that I made awhile back using the "negative" of my Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die! I Love this die and use it ALOT. It was fun to play with it in a different way. I'm sure i'll be doing this again! Tomorrow the sneak peeks begin for the Paper and Such June release so be sure to come back and check it out! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Friends Forever


Hello! Saw the tecnique challenge over on SCS today and thought I'd give it a try! It was to do Dry Debossing, you can find instructions here if you need them. Another fun way to use your embossed papers! I used one of my favorite CB folders. Love this folder for quick and easy cards. It's a more expensive folder because it comes with a Lg sentiment die too (which I have never use) but I use the folder a good bit so I think it was worth the extra money. It's been raining all day so I had to resort to a indoor picture today, not my favorite but it will work. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Feel Better


Hello! Are you ready for another fun sketch from The Sweet Stop?? I'll admit I was a bit stumped at first. Thought about going with stars instead but stuck with the circles. I did however use the embedded embossing technique with my favorite embossing folder! Love the look and need to remember to do this technique more often.

Butterfly Wishes



Hello! I found this fun sketch designed by NinaB and thought I'd give it a try. For the 3 round elements along the side I went with a little doily stamp from a set of MS doily stamps that I picked up at ACM's the other week. I softly sponged/distressed around all the edges and popped up the butterfly for more dimension. I'm pretty pleased with how this one turned out! List of supplies used and challenges that I'm entering are listed below. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
