Me and My Dragon

April 27, 20181 Comment

Hello friends! Today's card features the Me and My Dragon set from Mama Elephant. I immediately fell in love with this set when it came out and I'm pretty sure I ordered it before I even got out of bed on release day. What? That's a totally normal thing to do. So I colored the … Continue reading Me and My Dragon

SSS Wednesday Challenge: Texture

April 16, 20181 Comment

I decided I wanted to play along with the Simon Wednesday Challenge this week, where the theme was "add some texture". But I don't have much in the way of stencils and paste and I was struggling with how to add texture beyond embossing. I thought, maybe I could imply texture with alcohol inks, maybe … Continue reading SSS Wednesday Challenge: Texture

Mama Elephant: Me and My Yeti

I wish I had my very own yeti! Well, I guess I do if you count this stamp set. I almost didn't get it.

Mama Elephant Lil’ Painters

February 26, 2017September 9, 20171 Comment

Hi friends! Today I have two cards to share with you using the new Lil' Painters set from Mama Elephant. I absolutely adore this set. The two cards I made don't even look like they came from the same set, actually, and that's kinda why I love it - so much possibility! Also, bunnies wearing … Continue reading Mama Elephant Lil’ Painters

About me

I am a craft and art enthusiast. My first love is knitting, but a blog about languishing WIPs is hardly interesting. I started making cards about a year ago (and about ten years after I gave up on scrapbooking). Being creative is my outlet and my zen. Monkey and Oliver are my cats and craft buddies.
