Wednesday’s Design by Robbie

I read quite a few blogs each day. I use them for inspiration and to learn new “tricks of the trade” (that is where I found out about the glitter gel pens you all wanted). Nicole at capturethemoment had a release of some of her new stamps and paper. She created this absolutely beautiful card. I just love the yellow color also. On Julie’s blog she used Stampin’ Up supplies to recreate Nicole’s card. I…

Garden Gate

I challenge you to look through the book and find a group of colors that you are…

I thought it might be fun to share with you some card sites/blogs that have sketch challenges each week so that you could check them out and play along. Having the sketch really makes it so…

I have to send out a thank you to Tonya for having her show on Sunday. She was also able to take advantage of the extra Hostess Dollars, way to go Tonya. Well…
