Welcome to our Blog Hop #25. This month we had the freedom to do whatever!!! I decided to use Hydrangea Hill from the new Jan – Jun catty. I used Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape as the base of the card and the beautiful mercury glass acetate. One side (purple) I mounted on a Scripty […]
Welcome to our Blog Hop #24. This month we have a sketch challenge for our Team Blog. I decided to use Trimming the Town DSP and the Woodland Embossing Folder for my card. Before using the Embossing Folder, I cut out a circle with the circle framelits from the Whisper White CS. I then inked […]

My daughter gifted me a box of the now retired Everything is Rosy set and I had never got around to making cards with it. Last night I invited two friends around and we made some cards with the set. There were lots of little scraps left over so I decided to have a go […]
