**Oops! Sorry this post is a little late. It was supposed to appear on Friday. I’m so happy it’s finally Friday.

This card is really simple to put together. You'll want to do a watercolor wash on the watercolor paper. The more water you use, the lighter your ink color will be. But, it will go one much smoother and you won't get those harsh edges to the color wash. Once it dries, … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – In Colors Blooms

Hello and Goodbye!
For the next couple weeks, I'll be sharing some of my favorite products that are retiring along with something brand new! This week is the Watercolor Thank You stamp set and Sketched Dots Bags. I'm seriously going to miss both of those items. I had several packages of the Bags and now I'm just about out. I love how they are the perfect size for a couple treats or something slightly larger than your standard "fun size" chocolates. I filled … [Read more...] about Hello and Goodbye!
