WCMC9#21: Florals

May 24, 20182 Comments

I love flowers. I've never been very good at keeping them alive, but I keep trying.  My great grandmother grew the most beautiful irises on her farm in Kentucky - she had her own breeds. Those genes did not get passed on to me. My mom used to joke that we didn't have green thumbs, … Continue reading WCMC9#21: Florals

Hello friends! Today I have a quick clean & simple card using the Beautiful Branches set from Concord & 9th. I made this card for the CASology challenge #300, where the theme is copper.

Bright & Beautiful Birthday

March 28, 2018March 26, 2018

Hi friends! It's time for spring birthdays and I have a simple birthday card to share with you. I'm a big fan of rainbows...especially when March has been filled with snowstorms and thunderstorms (in one weekend). So I channeled that cheerfulness when creating this card. I used the Rainbow Wishes stamp and die bundle from … Continue reading Bright & Beautiful Birthday

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

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

Hi friends! Today I have a card using the Pineapple Perfection stamp set from Concord and 9th. I made this card with two challenges in mind: I really wanted to incorporate some copper into my card, and originally planned on using some copper leaf. But in the end I went with copper embossing powder on … Continue reading Inspired by #64 and WCMC9 #13

Rainbow Maker: Ink blending & Stamping

August 8, 2017September 9, 2017

Hi crafty friends! I am taking my first class at Online Card Classes - Rainbow Maker and I'm really enjoying it so far! I love rainbows, but they sort of elude me in the craft room. I'm learning a lot and it's been just the thing to get me out of my card making funk. So … Continue reading Rainbow Maker: Ink blending & Stamping

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.
