For the most part, I only use three colors of cardstock. White, black and my favorite, Kraft cardstock. Now and then I’ll use something else but usually the color in my projects comes from patterned paper, embellishments or art mediums. Kraft is so beautifully understated that I tend to go through reams of it.
Today I’m in the CLASSroom sharing some card designs featuring Kraft. I hope you’ll pop over and join me!
Have a fabulous weekend!

Ink pads.
I love them.
I probably have serious addiction.
Why do I have so many?
Well. They are all different colors and do different things.
Take the Memento Dew Drops by Tsukineko for instance. The fun size and shape allow you to do some fun things with them.
I hope you’ll join me today in the CLASSroom for three stamped card designs and some tips and techniques for these cute little ink pads.
Have a great weekend!

I’m happy to be back posting today and finally have something to share. I can’t believe it’s been almost a week! No I haven’t been away. I wish!!! I’m busy running to swimming lessons and driver’s ed lessons with my kids and finishing up some last minute CHA projects. I wish I could say that next week looks better but the swimming lessons continue and we add in two birthday parties and wisdom teeth surgery for one of my sons…just for fun. 😉
Today’s card is a fun one with a stamp set I’ve been dying to play with, some bright summer colors and some simple stamping techniques and tips. I hope you’ll join me today in the CLASSroom for the tutorial.
Happy Friday and happy creating!

I’m a Canadian girl, through and through.
OK. So you’re probably doing a double-take with today’s project then, right?
Well this project is inspired by the new beautiful Maya Road Star Bottlecaps and I thought I’d jump outside the box and create a set of vintage style canvases for my American friends.
I hope you like them and I hope I got the look right! 🙂
Today I’m in the CLASSroom with the tutorial and step outs on how to create this mini canvas set. I hope you’ll join me here.
Have a fabulous weekend!
Frosted glass is such a great look.It reminds me of sea glass and is just so pretty. The translucence makes for such a dreamy element.
Did you know you can get a frosted glass look using acrylic embellishments and some simple stamping? Join me today in the CLASSroom as I share step outs and a tutorial on this technique. It’s a very cool look for you to try as temperatures rise outdoors.
Have a fabulous weekend!
