Enchanted with Everyday Enchantment SAB Products!



 Last night was perfect... I got some "me crafting time".  I've been eyeing the gorgeous new Everyday Enchantment DSP from the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalogue.  The colours are stunning and the accessories that you can earn for free are equally stunning!  The 1/8" Organdy ribbon comes in both Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral.  It comes as a set, but that's not the best news... included in this Sale-a-bration choice is a brad pack as well that includes 5 adorable designs that coordinate with the DSP and ribbons. 
I found my sketch for this card on the Freshly Made Sketches Blog. 
What do you think... does this make you want the DSP????

Stampin' Royalty Challenge #102


  Well this week's Stampin' Royalty Challenge is an inspiration challenge.  All I could focus on in the picture was the circles.  I needed a way to make the Doily Die appear like the picture so I added the silver glimmer paper accentuate the center.  This doily is so beautiful... I can't wait to play with it more!

Make sure to head over to Stampin' Royalty and check out the cards from the rest of the design team; then come join us and play!  What stands out in this photo for you?

Pals Paper Arts 122~ Colour Challenge




This was such a huge honour for me... I was asked to be a guest stamper on the Pals Paper Arts blog this week!   This group of women never cease to amaze me with their talent, and I secretly stalk all their blogs:)  Make sure to head over and check out their creations and then come back to share your own with this fabulous colour combo!


I had fun creating this card although if you look at it you can probably see where I changed a standard A2 card into a 5.25" square card.  It felt incomplete in the A2 form.  I will admit that it is more of a traditional Christmas card style than I would usually do, but I loved the final outcome!
