Welcome to my attempt at this week's MFT Sketch Challenge! Here is the sketch for this week: I normally don't participate in sketch challenges when I don't have one of the elements, but I decided to get creative this week. I'm missing ovals and oval frames.

Hero Arts July Kit-Cards
Hello! I hope your week is going well! I wanted to share a couple of cards I created with the new Hero Arts kit. I've really enjoyed working with this set! The first thing I did was to stamp and color all of the flower images, and a lot of the containers with Copic Markers.… Continue reading Hero Arts July Kit-Cards
New to Me-Mica Spray
Hello! Today I would like to talk about Mica Spray. Yana Smakula has used mica sprays in her card making and I loved the results!

Playing with Block Watercolor Stamping
One night a few weeks ago I was blending panels with Distress Oxide ink for backgrounds. Since I had my supplies out, I decided to try the Block Watercolor Stamping technique Jennifer McGuire shared on July 3rd (here). I was just playing around, so I didn't take any pictures while I was doing it, which… Continue reading Playing with Block Watercolor Stamping
MFT New Items and Shaker Cards
First off, Happy Birthday MFT!!! I’m afraid today's post is going to be a looong one! I wanted to do something special for MFT’s new release, but I can’t review the whole release, as I didn’t purchase everything (must stick to budget, must stick to budget). Since this release was full of shaker elements (and… Continue reading MFT New Items and Shaker Cards
Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge-Plaid and Lawn Fawn
Well, if you remove the Plaid, this challenge is right up my alley. I practically live and breathe Lawn Fawn's fairies and I can't seem to stay away from their Dad and Me set either! However, plaid is not really my thing... I had to really dig to find plaid paper. I thought for sure… Continue reading Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge-Plaid and Lawn Fawn

Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge-Summer Sunshine
Good morning! This week the challenge was Summer Sunshine, using Simon Says Stamps products. What's more summery then flowers and weddings? I decide to use the Floral Bliss stamp set, but to use the smaller single images instead of the large image.
