Hey Good Morning! Do you have a favorite candy? The one you hoped for in your Halloween sack? For me that would be Ju Jubes, Gum Drops, “Dots”, and any other colorful jelly type chewy morsels. Do you have a favorite flavor? Me? Cherry or Fruit Punch, if fruity. Wintergreen or Cinnamon, if spicy. WhenContinue reading “Sharing Sweet Thoughts – Ju Jubes”

Artistically Inked – Best Wishes
Welcome back! Question for you…Chickens or Eggs, which comes first? My general approach to challenge(s) kind of works like this. Often, I start with the colors. That generally gives me a feel for a potential theme, if one is not suggested. Next, usually comes the sketch. How can I work those colors into that sketch?

Beautiful Day – Autumn Splendor
Welcome back! Fall may actually be here. The temperature has dropped, and I have a few red leaves on my Maple tree. Several challenges are pursuing a Fall theme and I created this card influenced by them. Inspiration Station (#39), Make the Cards (#63), Tic Tac Toe (#178) and Global Design Project (#359). Here isContinue reading “Beautiful Day – Autumn Splendor”
Soft Seedlings – Thinking of You
Happy Wednesday and welcome to the Facebook Tuesday Case-ing the Catalog challenge (#371) a day late. A couple of busy days post-Convention and getting ready for the Holiday Card Classes this afternoon and evening. The card sample sports a (3¾”) square cut in four. What will you choose?

Oriental Brushstrokes – Tranquility
How about we pull out the one stamp set that made me swoon when I flipped through the very first catalog I ever saw. Oriental Brushstrokes. It had retired by the time I started buying Stampin’ Up! products and it took me a few years to find it. I think it will be part ofContinue reading “Oriental Brushstrokes – Tranquility”
Nature’s Prints – Thinking of You
Further to my earlier post regarding favorite things, a very close second would be CAS (clean and simple) cards and the color that makes me happiest: Green. I love to participate in the various challenges because it forces me out of my “box” and makes me think how to use all of the materials andContinue reading “Nature’s Prints – Thinking of You”
Bike Ride – Happy Paths

Tropical Best Wishes
A paper crafter by nature is a paper lover and more than not a paper hoarder. Every so often you come across items you just have to have…in my case Lark Crafts paper books from Sterling Publishing: For the Love of Paper. Today, I used a sheet from the Botanicals collection. A quick and simpleContinue reading “Tropical Best Wishes”
