Guest Designing With Color Hues!

Hello and Happy New Year! I'm tickled pink to be starting the new year off as a guest designer with the team at The Color Hues Challenge! Take a look at this terrific color combo.

I pulled out a new set I treated myself to during all of those Black Friday sales and paired with a cutie little Simply Graphic image. I think they worked great together. Take a look...

Aren't the flowers from the PTI Wild Blooms stencil set a perfect match for this SG Say Cheese image? The sentiment from the stamp set was stamped several times onto gray cardstock to create the background. My focal image was colored with Copics. I used a glittery gelly roll pen on the camera lens and buttons. Everything went onto the stenciled card base and was topped off with a little sparkling clear confetti from PPP.

I'm on my way over to The Color Hues blog to see what the team has created. Why don't you join me and then you can create something to play along!

Just Us Girls #804 ~ Happy Birthday!

Hello, friends and a Happy New Year to one and all! We're back today with our first challenge of 2026 at Just Us Girls. First up in our weekly rotation is the DIE CHALLENGE. Elizabeth is our hostess and Laurel Seabrook is joining us as our guest designer for the month of January!

When leafing through my cover plates, I found this one, by Mama Elephant, already cut and ready to go. Can't beat that! It was cut from woodgrain paper and I just love the masculine touch it adds. I popped it onto a shimmery aqua blue card base then topped it with a cute little Poppystamps snowman. He's dressed in masculine attire since this will go to my big brother for his birthday later this month. Frosted Lace Stickles were added... was added!!?? I thought they gave the card lots of that 'January in Ohio' frostiness! 

Break out some of those new Christmas goodies and come play along with us this week. We sure would love to see your card in our gallery!

I'm sharing my final Christmas card of the year over on the Poppystamps blog today. If you have a minute or two, stop by to check it out! These pretty Scallop Pinpoint Frame dies were my jumping off point!

Now that the new blog is up an running at Poppystamps, our monthly challenges have started again! This month we're looking for projects with a pocket. A place to tuck in a secret message, add a note, gift card of even some cash. 

Here's a peek at a couple of the elements I used. Head over to the Poppystamps blog to see the full reveal!

Peace, Love & Joy

It's me again! Popping in for a quick minute tonight with a card I made for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge and for The Flower Challenge.

You know, I had every intention of using an ornament as my focal. But when I went to my Christmas dies, I found this gorgeous Altenew poinsettia that I completely forgot I had! It's a Christmas floral, so it was meant to be! She's cut from a shimmery pink cardstock, popped onto and embossed panel (SSS) and topped with sparkly rhinestones. The little banner is PPP with a PTI sentiment. Phew, lots of companies, but they all play well together!

Thanks so much for stopping by again. Have a blessed week, friends!
