Splashes of Watercolor

Lynda Benden, who is a member of the OCC Design Team, is also a fellow member of the Jacksonbelle Embellishments Design Team and she’s asked the entire JBE team to be her guest designers this week! How fun is that! This week the challenge is a sketch. I love starting with a sketch and no […]

Just a quick post today. I had wanted to play in Friday’s Limited Supplies Challenge on Splitcoaststampers, but just found the time today. I bought this Peace on Earth stamp set at the Heritage Stamp Show in Greenville, SC, and thought this was the perfect opportunity to use it! I used a couple of last […]

As promised in an earlier post, here’s my first card using the new Kim Hughes set Mocha Chica and the fabulous Mocha Chica paper line. Scrumptious! I love the fresh colors! This card is for my daughter’s birthday which is this weekend. I won’t be in town to help her celebrate, so I’ll get this […]

I whipped up a couple of these cards for my 2 older grandsons who have now started back to school. They were really excited on their first day. But now the younger one, who just started kindergarten, is doing everything he can in the mornings to get his mom to let him stay home. He […]

My dear friend Beth recently celebrated a birthday. When I think of her, I think of rich florals, bold colors, lovely old lace, and the wonders of nature. She lives in a 100 year old refurbished farmhouse (with 140 acres) and besides working a full time job and being a single mom, she maintains the […]

My grandson Will just graduated from preschool. You know, it seems to me that he was just born yesterday! He is his mom’s youngest, so she’s mourning the passing of his “babyhood”.   And she started to talk about having another baby.  I definitely had to talk her out of that one rather quickly!!  But not […]

Here is another one of my design team submissions for the Jacksonbelle Embellishments design team: This card is a little different for me – no coloring! But I did have a lot of fun making it! So what if I didn’t get to color, I did paint! Can you see where I painted a linen […]

I created this card for the Wednesday backgrounder challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms – to use 2 or more backgrounders.  Lo and behold!  It also fits today’s Ways to Use It challenge WT163 at Splitcoast– to use scissors! I used the Grid Paper backgrounder and the Weathered Wood backgrounder, which I believe is now retired.  […]

This is my really late entry for the color challenge CC160 on SCS. The colors are creamy caramel, mellow moss, apricot appeal, and cameo coral. Never would have put them together on my own! This is going to be a short post because I’ve got to get some sleep to be at work very early […]
