Ribbon of Courage Make & Take
This past weekend, I worked the Just Crop Retreat again. It's so much fun seeing crafty friends at these retreats. Although sometimes it is a challenge to show them something they haven't seen before. Thank goodness Stampin Up is always coming out with something new. One of my Make & Takes used the brand new stamp set, Ribbon of Courage. The stamp set includes two different choices of Ribbon: one is a solid ribbon and the second is … [Read more...] about Ribbon of Courage Make & Take
(Belated) Happy Fri-YAY!
**Oops! Sorry this post is a little late. It was supposed to appear on Friday. I’m so happy it’s finally Friday.

Five Minute Friday – In Colors Blooms
I have a selection of cards for you today for Five Minute Friday using the brand new In Colors that will be released next week. Actually, it's one card in five different colors. 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
