How Do You Use Patterned Papers?
Hi, everyone and welcome! The topic of today’s post is patterned papers. If you are a paper crafter like myself, at some point in time you have probably hoarded patterned papers, right?

It’s Hump Day and that means new challenge over at CRAFTY GALS CORNER CHALLENGE BLOG “THINGS WITH WINGS” We have a great sponsor this week: Offering 3 Digital Images to the Winner
I’m not really too much into Fairies unless she is green and flying from the turret on
Cinderella’s Castle during the Wishes Fireworks. But when I saw the Absinthe Fairy at Faery Ink

No Digis or Stamped Images with Simply Create Too Challenge #83
SIMPLY CREATE TOO CHALLENGE BLOG Challenge #83 WHAT? That’s what I said when I say “no digis or stamped images“! I think some times we become “craft comfortable”. So even though I was thrown for a few minutes with this challenge it didn’t take long for the wheels to start turning! That is one dangerous thing, too. I created a card using a die cut, photo paper, COPICS, enamel dots, and white cardstock. Super easy card with a very colorful punch! PHOTO PAPER AND DIE CUTS I crea
