Sharing Sweet Thoughts – Ju Jubes
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?

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
Happy Tuesday and welcome to the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge (#394) and the Facebook Case-ing Tuesday Sketch challenge (#366).
