It’s been a bit since I published a sketch challenge. That whole end-of-summer/back-to-school crazy period took over our lives over here – haha! So here is edition #31 – it’s a great way to use up scraps you have laying around – you have those, right? Here is the card I made from this sketch:…
This card is inspired by the below card that I made for my swap group: This technique is called a one-layer spotlight. To get this effect, a shape has to be cut out of a piece of paper (I used copy paper) and placed over your main image. You use blending tools to lay down…
I have seen and received Post-It Note Holders since I began my paper crafting journey years ago. I don’t think I have ever made one. I signed up to make one for my swap group that I participate in and wow – how easy are these. I based mine on this video from StampinWithAmore. I…

They were definitely the inspiration for a tag we made at my “Christmas in August” stamp class: I used the largest, third-largest,…
I’m giving you a break from the Gathering Together Suite Collection today (but don’t worry, there will be more projects coming your way soon . . . .) and am using the great background stamp, Etched Autumn. Isn’t it pretty? There are so many ways this can be used – I went with heat embossing…
