    Woodland Path

    I made this card using 2 digital images from Power Poppy. After printing them out I colored them with Copic markers then drew and colored trees in the background. I enjoy working with digital stamps so I can resize, flip and rearrange images easily.

    Enjoy the Journey

    I made this card with the Stampin’ Up! “ Enjoy the Journey” suite. The moon and clouds were die cut from “Starry Sky” blue cardstock. Then layered over white cardstock. The stars were stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The floral image was stamped on a piece of designer paper from the suite…

    Gratitude Journal Part 3

    I finished my gratitude journal with time to spare! I wanted to have it finished before November 1 so that I can write in it every day in November. I finished it 5 minutes to midnight on October 30. I call that finishing early! I learned a few things while making this journal that will…

    Vintage Grunge

    I was in the mood for grunge. I made 2 card fronts, a tag and an undecided object. For the 2 card fronts and the tag, I stamped the images, did some very basic coloring with Copics, inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide, added splatters and finger prints to the “Just a Note”…
