With less than two weeks until Thanksgiving (for my US friends), I think I’m going to set aside the Christmas posts for a while. I made this decision last week while being bombarded with Black Friday ads…I love autumn and I’ve hardly had a chance to enjoy it this year! Ok, so today’s post isn’t […]

Warm Autumn Wishes Card
So, I’ve spent a little more time playing with my new Spectrum Noir Colourblend Pencils…and today I wanted to share a simple autumn card that demonstrates the smooth blending you can achieve with them. I love using colored pencils on kraft cardstock (especially this time of year!) and the images from the Sheena Douglass “An […]
Faux Bleaching on Colored Cardstock
Summer may be over, but it’s still okay to make cards with tropical flowers on them as long as you use fall colors, right? Right? Well, anytime I get a new coloring medium in my hands, I usually have to try it out on some kind of floral design…and I just didn’t think sunflowers were […]

Celebrate Card with Inlaid Die-Cutting
Today, the gorgeous new “Together Forever” Collection is being released by Crafter’s Companion and I’m excited to share this pretty card full of die-cutting and embossing. This collection is perfect for all of those wedding and anniversary projects, but I chose to create a birthday card instead…because I’m getting to that age when all of my […]
