We’re all getting a little bit busier these days, so to make things more doable we’re making a teeny tiny change. If you came here from my sweet friend Anna’s amazing blog, I’m so glad to […]

Squirrelz Stash Bash – May 2022

Dang! The blog got a little dusty, didn’t it?!? Well, this world sometimes throws things at you that are of higher importance than crafting and hops, so you just have to respect that and try to adjust. Right? But we’re back now and full of crafty ideas. For those who have no idea what all […]

May JDS Mid-Month Inspiration and Farewell

Sad news today… this is my final post for Jan’s Digi Stamps. After 1.5 wonderful years on the DT, I find myself needing to step down from the team. My hands continue to worsen and typing is something that aggravates the pain. Writing the posts would probably still be doable, but leaving comments and love […]

April 2CCC DT Post with Sheepski Designs

Have you ever had a card that almost refused to be made, despite the clear image you had in your head for it??? This was one of those for me but I’m so glad I stuck with the original idea cause I am super pleased with the results. Today’s card is my contribution to the […]

October 2CCC DT Post with Beccy’s Place

MFT Summer Camp Day 1 & MFT Color Challenge 121

Take 2 on Day 1 of MFT’s Summer Camp! This is another fully watercolored card, painted with the 36 color set of Gansai Tambi’s. I need to use these more often cause I just saw they now offer a 48 pan set but I refuse to buy it (yet) with so much paint left in […]

MFT Camp Create 2019 – Day 2 – Remarkable Resist

Today’s camp activity is called Remarkable Resist. For my card I used MFT’s Wavy Coloring Book Background with Versamark and platinum embossing powder. I love this background, especially for summer because it looks like waves in the ocean to me. Once that was heat set, I used several shades of Zig Clean Color Brush Markers […]
