Here are some cards I created for an upcoming class. I had fun with 5 new stamps from CCDesigns. I grabbed my dies and embossing folders and BAM!!...Read More

Winter Warmth
I thought I would challenge myself to try something new. Blending Copics into a white area. Leaving A TON of white...its hard to do. You must make sure the last color blended is light enough, and use the blender marker to smooth it into the white. I like the look but its not an everyday style for me. I thought...Read More

Snail Mail for your Birthday
So my friend Barb with LittleMissMuffet had a little booboo that happened and was good for a laugh. A handful of stamps were made 6 inches x 6 inches instead of the smaller desired size she wanted.
