Sorry for the late post today. I have had a horrible headache as part of this cold and it has zapped me of my energy not to mention having to deal with the pain. Candice challenged me to do a card using the sketch at the Eat Sleep Stamp blog. This is a new blog she ran across. The sketch was an easy one compared to ones I have done so I took on the…
The Splitcoast Stampers Website posts a weekly color and sketch challenge. This week the colors were Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette, and Rose Red.

Wow the Night of Navy really threw me for a loop, but I decided to treat it like a neutral and use it as…
I got some new die cuts on Friday from the guy in the big brown truck. I wanted to play with them so I used them on my card. Card Positioning Systems has a weekly sketch they post. It was an interesting sketch so I thought it would be fun to use one of the die cuts on the card. Stampin’ B’s challenge this week was to use a die cut. Since I was using…
