What a crazy week it’s already been! Yesterday was Day 2 of the Atlanta shutdown, and today will be Day 3. I know, I know. While there are people who will chuckle at our inability to operate in snow, this is not snow. All night Tuesday night, we experienced raining ice and sleet that has accumulated into a solid covering on everything outside. More sleet and ice and snow last night ensures we are locked…
The Paper Players have issued a really fun color challenge this week – a combination of Midnight Muse, Crisp Cantaloupe and Gold. What fun! Why is it so fun? The challenge also allows me to mark a few items off my “to use” list. Let’s hear it for using the supplies we have. Woo hoo! Here’s my card for this week’s challenge: And here’s the banner for Nance Leedy’s challenge: Tips, Tricks and Reminders A Masculine Valentine. I purchased Hello…
Here’s what I love about life – when one day is over, we can turn the page and start anew. I tried something fun yesterday – some of you loved it, some of you disliked it, and one of you absolutely hated it. It’s all good. In the end, you all had a reaction to my project, and that’s wonderful. A lot of you left comments, and I appreciate that. Today, I have turned over a new…
Woo hoo! I’ve got another square card for you today. I know, I know. When the Fungeon starts churning out square cards, it’s nearly impossible to turn them off. They just keep coming – one right after the other. This is the last in the series of square cards for this week. This card was created for The Pals Paper Arts color challenge (Blushing Bride, Rose Red and Basic Gray). Here’s my card: And here’s the color…
Yesterday, I shared with you that I have been asked to join the Fab Friday Design Team. Woo hoo! Today, I am sharing a card I made for this week’s Fab Friday Color Challenge (I don’t start on the team until the next challenge on February 13). The layout for this card is inspired by Linda Callahan’s super-fun sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. In honor of both design teams and the upcoming Day of Love, here…
Today is Saturday, and what a week it has been! While today’s card is fitting for a Simple Saturday post (the concept is super-simple), the layout of these cards can be a little tricky. Don’t worry, though, because I’m going to show you some tips that will help you to recreate it (if you so choose – is it wrong for me to assume you want to recreate this project?). Without any further ado, here’s my project…

Wow! It’s been an incredible day-and-a-half here in Atlanta. By now, you may have seen all the reports about the harrowing traffic problems that ensued on Tuesday afternoon. You might have chuckled at how Southerners are unable to deal with “a little inch of snow,” but I was on the road for 2-1/2 hours for my 4-mile commute, and it was absolutely horrifying. Atlanta is a commuter city where most people travel by car. If…
