T stands for Three, and time to celebrate

On Tuesday’s we share a beverage and what we’ve been up to with the crew at The Altered Book Lover. One of my neighbors children just turned three and had a unicorn themed birthday party, so I made her this happy pink card. I added stickles to the die cut unicorn, floral trim, and some […]

Okay, so maybe it’s slightly cliche to make a chalkboard when requested to try the chalkboard technique…but let me explain why. My oldest daughter decided recently to start looking for a new career path since due to the […]

Friend, Bird-day, and snowman inchie

Once again making a CAS has tested my patience in the craft room.

Winter Birthday Wishes LIM#258, CAS#74

  Another shot at CAS and can you see my indecision?I made this card two ways, to the right first and then centered in the middle.  While I like how both of them turned out, stamping in the middle seems the safer (more balanced) less creatively risky way – Using the words safe and risky […]

Batty In love, LIM # 236

This week at Simply Less is More ‘The Eyes Have it!”.  The challenge is to focus on eyes.  I thought of this bat stamp from paper smooches that I bought and haven’t played with yet (imagine that!)  I used crystal effects to give his eye some dimension, but it doesn’t show in the picture very well.  Thanks […]
