but I couldn’t resist playing with the Witch Trio set from Starving Artistamps! Truth be told is that I was a little late getting my samples in and I finally was able to get them done to the level that I was happy with. Ever have an idea then go to execute it and it [...]

I must admit that when I first glanced at this collection (yes glanced, not actually looked), I was like “oh boy, orange, white and black!” and wasn’t sure what to do with it. Well, after looking at it and using it, I really like it! Read the total review at ScrapFriends and take a peek [...]

Boy, I’m not doing a great job at keeping the blog updated everyday with my progress! I am taking daily pictures and keeping notes, so I think I’ll be good when I compile it all. I think that I’ll stick with the 8 1/2×11 thought for the album size and throw in some odd shaped [...]

Scrapping beach-y pictures must be one of my all time favorite things to do - I just can’t do enough of them! It seems that I’m never short of ideas and it’s a good thing that I have a lot of beach photos! The photographer for this layout is Fred - thanks for the great [...]

A recent challenge on ScrapFriends gave me the push I needed to try Inchies. They are 1×1 pieces of art - each one can tell a story or a bunch of them can be put together like a mosaic. I opted for the “bigger picture” effect so here’s the result:

I love the taste of tea, usually black not herbal, with a little Sweet n’Low - total YUM! It’s my touch of paradise throughout the day. Simply amazing how something so simple provides such comfort.
I got to play with some terrific Tea stamps from Lasting Impressions with Panache last week. Using good ole dye inks, [...]

A big thanks to Robin Beam and her Bandanna Technique using the awesome Ranger inks and new white pigment pen. I had to try it with the new pigment pads from Ranger and got this awesome result. Part of the Ranger Pigment Ink review at ScrapFriends, this card is so cheery and came out wonderfully [...]
