Sending Mittens

Anya Schrier created this cute wintery card for a challenge at The Play Date Cafe. I like to use a challenge if I’m stuck creatively.  There are many companies that offer designer challenges and there are different themes.  Some are color challenges, some are layout challenges and there are some that challenge more broadly. If […]

 

Keep Fighting

  Hello Friends, I discovered this beautiful card on The Verve Stamps Blog. When this card posted, the theme was Sending Some Sunshine. The challenge was to make an uplifting & cheerful card and actually send it to someone! I share designer Laurie Schmidlin’s, love of all that is vintage, so the warm color scheme combined with the encouraging sentiment was […]

I think this stamp set falls into the need category, it’s so versatile, therefore can be […]

  Sometimes I find it hard to find a winter themed card that’s not really a holiday or Christmas card.  This one works perfectly for me. Created by Shanna Vineyard, using items from the Winterings Collection from Little Yellow Bicycle, it does have a homey feel to it.  I would surely send this to a […]

Knit Another Row . . .

  Not only is this an adorable card, but the sentiment is adorable too. Ok, I’m not suggesting that you try this, although I think Melinda is very brave to have knitted a scarf with twine and toothpicks!  The end result is sooo cute!   Products Used: Doodlebug – Hello Spring Patterned Paper (Hello Spring) […]
