    St Patrick’s Day Special (17% off!) and a Green Card Challenge for YOU!

    Ok, so I got super distracted last night with organizing my crafting space (I was cleaning and noticed that my now overly large collection of just the larger sized punches were getting too heavy and bowing the bottom of my drawer!) and so it was time for them to move.  Though I wasn’t quite sure…

  • A White Only Card– LNS Challenge 131

    Whew! Nothing like a deadline to get me to hurry up and post a card I made this week for a challenge the the Late Night Stampers yahoo group.  Each week they post some kind of project challenge, and this week sounded really interesting: Challenge 131:  Only use white in your project except you can…

  • A Spring Color Challenge – Play along and win!

    Yesterday afternoon, I was putting the supplies away from my card class I ran on Thursday and had decided to sit down and make up some of the extra cards.  At one point, I looked up on my table and saw four markers sitting there and all I could think of was “Wow! That looks…
