Hi all! Today I’m back with a fun home décor project made with the Jar Mini Pallet Shape from Clear Scraps. Spring has really sprung in my neck of the woods so I’ve been enjoying all things floral, but if you’re in an area where you’re still waiting to see that first pop of color, […]

Custom Phone Stand with Stenciling and Hand Painting
Hi all! I’m very excited to share my first project for Clear Scraps with you today…a custom painted phone stand using the Scalloped Wood Phone Stand. Stencil art was actually the crafty interest that got me started blogging home décor projects years ago, and Clear Scraps has so many gorgeous products to alter and personalize, […]
Ocean Life Card Trio with Alcohol Pearls
With the temperatures finally starting to rise in my neck of the woods, I’m already looking forward to beach season! I’ve been dying to use this jellyfish background stamp from Hero Arts for a while, so thought it would be the perfect choice for my first post as a new designer for their challenge blog […]
Summertime Travel Card Set
There’s no better time of year for travel-themed cards and projects than when we near summertime and graduation season.

New Stamps From Cherry Green Designs

Tropical Streamertail Card
I’ll never forget the first time I saw a Red-Billed Streamertail (aka “Doctor Bird”, the national bird of Jamaica)…I was on my honeymoon in Ocho Rios and this crazy thing that looked like a giant fly carrying a snake buzzed past my head. I had seen tons of hummingbirds before, but these things were everywhere […]
