You’re my best friend

March 10, 20195 Comments

Hello friends! Today I have a card for the latest Lawn Fawnatics and Simon Says Stamp challenges. The Lawn Fawnatics challenge theme is "inspired by a book, movie, or song" and the Simon Wednesday challenge theme is to create a scene.

Witch Way Is the Candy

August 6, 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.

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.
