I finished my journal the other day, so I thought I’d share it with ya’ll. It is nothing fancy, and I made some mistakes, but overall I’m quite pleased. In case you missed this post, I’ll recap the project quickly.
I started with a plain, cheapie little composition book. First I adhered a piece of Cranberry [...]

Another fairly quick and simple valentine. I used Laura’s color combo site to generate this combo for me – I love it! Not colors I would’ve normally thought to put together, but once they went on the card I was smitten!!
I used the same technique on this card that I used when I hosted the [...]

The color challenge this week was really a challenge for me. Check it out, if you have a chance. It was totally out of my comfort zone. When I read it, I just couldn’t picture how the colors would come together. Plus, I have yet to order any of the In Colors for this year. [...]

It’s chilly at my house today — it appears our heat pump (or blower, to be more precise) is one the fritz. And we aren’t sure when the repair guy can get here. So, I’m not doing too much other than cuddling on the couch with my family, watching tv. Which is all I really [...]

I hosted a challenge last night for the January VSN. Well, sort of – I actually was in the ER during my challenge, with a severe attack of kidney stones. Which was way less fun than VSN, believe me. Anyway, my challenge was a “follow the list” kind of challenge. I’m still feeling pretty bad, so [...]

I always enjoy the Inspiration Challenge that Karen (aka kthaman) hosts on Saturdays. And today was no different — what a cool flower packet she shared!! Fortunately, it inspired me to do a simple card, because that is just about all my brain can handle today.
I started with a Kraft base, to mimic the bag. [...]

to the for sale page. I’ve just got to make room for the new ones I want!! Roses in Winter is back up for sale – that was a tough decision to make. But I haven’t used it in awhile, so it should go to a home where it will be loved often! Silent Night [...]

Let me start off by saying that the pictures are a little lackluster, and I’m sorry. My poor sweet little one has had the throw ups about every 20 minutes since 9:30 last night, so I’m just thrilled I got pictures at all. She seems to be doing a little better, but this funky bug [...]

I’ve had this super great set, L’Amour, from Lizzie Anne Designs for a couple of weeks – I treated myself with some holiday money. I’ve wanted it ever since they released it. Unfortunately, it’s been sitting unused, uninked, still in its plastic packaging. Pitiful, huh?
I managed to steal a few minutes while my sweet daughter was [...]
