I went a little crazy making projects with the Mediterranean Suite and this is by far my favorite. This is a mini clipboard that I decorated with the pattern paper from the Suite and lots and lots of layers. I have a few of these mini decorated clipboards that I've decorated through the years hanging in my studio. It's a great mini canvas that I can use to decorate my space. To make this project, you definitely need the Mediterranean paper. … [Read more...] about You’re Going to Need to Buy That Paper

Make It Simple
Last week I shared this lovely card in our New at SU Blog Hop. I love this card with the embossing on the white card stock. It really steps up the look of the card. But what if you don't have embossing folders or a machine with which to use them? You can still make a lovely card without the embossing layer. Today's card is almost identical but without the embossing. I did use a die cut to make the white rectangle. However, you could cut … [Read more...] about Make It Simple

Thank You
We're finishing up this week with another Sketched Butterflies card. This one actually came about using up some left over pieces from other projects.

A Simple Little Card
This was meant to be a quick and simple card. And then I had to make it complicated. I loved the scattering of all the little butterflies, but the card looked flat. So I stamped more little butterflies, then cut them out individually, and added them with pop dots. It adds a little something to the card having additional layers. However, the card would have been just fine without adding the extra layer of butterflies. Don't worry, I have … [Read more...] about A Simple Little Card
Sketched Butterflies
I'm a sucker for butterfly stamps. If there's a butterfly stamp in the catalog, it's guaranteed that I'm going to purchase it. Usually, I color butterflies like a Monarch butterfly, in oranges and yellows. This time, I went with purple. I absolutely love this stamp set. I made a bunch of cards with it and will be sharing them all week. Check back on Wednesday to see more of this set. Sketched Butterflies Bundle (English) - … [Read more...] about Sketched Butterflies
Dearest Friend
Summer heat can be a lot in SoCal. I think we have another two months before the heat starts to drop. Every Winter, I can't wait for the rain to stop and the days to warm up. And by mid-Summer, I'm ready for a bit of chill in the air. I'm already dreaming about cooler days. This pattern paper reminds me of Winter sunsets, where the sun is turning the sky a beautiful purple. I love the nature scenes in this pattern paper set. They make amazing … [Read more...] about Dearest Friend
