Lawn Fawnatics: Lots of Love

February 3, 20195 Comments

Hi friends! And, um, happy new year? January just flew right by without me even noticing that I hadn't shared any cards with you all month! Let's correct that right now! I made this card for the current challenge over at Lawn Fawnatics, where the theme is "lots of love". I've been dying to use … Continue reading Lawn Fawnatics: Lots of Love

October 17, 2018October 16, 20181 Comment

WCMC9 #20: Spring

April 19, 2018April 19, 20182 Comments

Spring? What's that? In my neighborhood, spring has been very elusive. I'm pretty sure it was snowing when I made the card I am sharing with you today. But you know, if you can't have flowers outside, make some flowers inside! To make the floral background, I used the accent flowers from the Wonderful Floral … Continue reading WCMC9 #20: Spring

WCMC9 #19 sketch

March 26, 2018March 26, 20182 Comments

Hi friends, just a quick card to share with you today. I used the Banners and Blooms stamp set from Concord & 9th to make this loosely watercolored thank you card. I started off by stamping the floral spray in a sort of vertical orientation using VersaFine ink - I find this ink is great … Continue reading WCMC9 #19 sketch

Just because

February 25, 2018March 13, 20187 Comments

Hello! The card I have to share with you today is a little frilly, a little shiny, a little soft, and a lot of fun. I used the Just Because bundle from Concord & 9th along with some "traditional" and less traditional watercolors. I picked out some colors that I really liked from the soft, … Continue reading Just because

wcmc9 #18: watercolor

February 21, 2018February 21, 20182 Comments

Hello friends! Today I have a card (actually, two) to share with you for the latest Where Creativity Meets C9 challenge. It's all about watercolor, baby! My favorite! I really love the look of pearlized watercolors, especially on black cardstock, and I thought the new Wonderful Florals set would be so fun to paint with … Continue reading wcmc9 #18: watercolor

C9: Together Forever

February 18, 2018February 18, 20186 Comments

Hi friends! I have another challenge card to share with you today. I had so much fun with the last sketch challenge I entered that I decided to give it another go. I think my interpretation of the sketch is probably pretty loose, but I like how it turned out. Read on for how I … Continue reading C9: Together Forever

Mama Elephant: Me and My Yeti

October 7, 2017October 7, 20172 Comments

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. In fact, I placed an order with Mama Elephant before I even got out of bed one morning (oh technology!) and DIDN'T include the Me and My Yeti or the Sentiments … Continue reading Mama Elephant: Me and My Yeti

MFT: Otterly Great Birthday

September 19, 20172 Comments

Hi friends! How about some otters today? (I would like some otters every day, please and thank you!) I have a birthday card using the Otterly Love You set from My Favorite Things. Trying to keep this CAS, I settled on just using a single otter. In keeping with my no-line tradition, I stamped the … Continue reading MFT: Otterly Great Birthday

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.
