I may not get to play along with Glenda’s Random Amusing Challenges very often, but they’re a lot of fun when I do. Because my son is still small, I probably wouldn’t have thought to put together a school themed card at this time of year, but Glenda’s challenge put the idea in my head. [...]
Most of my cards have several simple layers, but Susan’s One Layer Wednesday challenges force me to simplify even more. I have to admit that I love the results. This week’s challenge was cards with trees. I love a good tree stamp, so this is right up my alley. I had to use my stamp-a-ma-jig [...]
After what feels like a few weeks of struggle, the cards are coming easily again. I love being in a creative groove. I’ve made more than a dozen cards in the last week and I’m pretty pleased with all of them. I used a Clean & Simple Stamping sketch (FTL106) as the inspiration for this [...]

Just heartfelt national pride [...]
I forgot to mention it yesterday, but Wplus9 is one of the stamp companies I have my eye on. They’ve only released a handful of clear sets, but I really like what I’ve seen so far. Their Birds and Bees is near the top of my wish list. That’s why I’m psyched to play along [...]
First, I’d like to do a little screaming. Last week I tweeted about submitting a couple cards for publication. For the first time ever. It’s surprising, I know. I’ve been paper crafting for more than seven years and had never thrown my hat into the publication ring. Those deadlines get me every time, mostly because [...]
