After a short break, it’s time for another FabFriday Challenge. What fun! Mindy Backes created a fun sketch for us this week, and I followed it down to a T – well, kinda. I may have switched things up a little (I straightened up all the layers behind my focal square), but the inspiration is there. I used Carried Away, the super-fun, colorful paper from Sale-a-Bration and showcased a fun sentiment from Places You’ll Go,…
What a special day! The super-talented design team members at Fusion Card Challenge have each invited a friend to join them for the kickoff of their 2017 challenges. What an honor that my dear friend, Linda Callahan, asked me to be her guest for the challenge! I pulled some photos of Linda “from the archives” to show you how much we love each other. Here’s Linda at our 3rd Annual World Card Making Day event:…

It wasn’t until I was finished with today’s card that I realized I had used a loooooong list of new products. They all seem to fit together here like they all come from the same suite of products. Ready for the list? If you have studied the Occasions Catalog, you might be able to pick out each of these products. I used Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper, Build It Framelits Dies, Beautiful You stamp set,…
The Global Design Project team is CASE’ing a card by the super-talented Jess Williams, and we’re inviting all of you to play along. Jess has given us a great project to inspire us – and I had a lot of fun using new products to make my card. Sweet and simple, it’s a perfect way to say “Happy Birthday!”. Here’s my card that features Super Duper, a new stamp set from the upcoming Occasions Catalog…
Happy New Year! Happy 2017! I hope your evening was safe and happy. I can assure you I was in bed hours before the clock struck midnight. There’s no better way to spend an evening. 🙂 I’m kicking off the new year with a card that combines a fun, new bundle from the 2017 Occasions Catalog (Custom Tee Bundle, which combines the Custom Tee photopolymer stamp set with T-Shirt Builder Framelits Dies) with a fun,…
Even with all the amazing celebrities who’ve left us this year and with all the residue left from the political battles, 2016 has been a pretty great year. As the year comes to an end, I want to wrap up with some of my most popular posts from 2016. These are the project that were very popular on Pinterest, receiving a lot of clicks and repins. What fun! I have an emotional connection to every…
The moment Christmas ended, I started playing with my new Valentine’s Day products from the upcoming 2017 Occasions Catalog. What fun! There’s a super-fun baking-themed stamp set that fits the Valentine’s Day mold perfectly. The set has a very retro feel, so I used retro colors to create a set of three Valentine’s Day cards. Here are my cards: Because I know you pay attention to every detail, you probably already noticed that the images…
Two weeks ago, I was honored to be the Guest Designer for the challenge at CAS(E) This Sketch. What an exciting event for me. While most sketches last for just a week, this sketch will continue to stay open until January 5. Yippee! That means (1) I can still play along with the fun sketch and (2) you still have time to play along with the sketch. 🙂 I used the Nailed It! Bundle to…
