Happy Birthday




Here is another FREE fan art digital stamp from MayzyArt. Do you recognize her?

Well, if you guessed She-Ra, you are oh, so right! If you had no idea or haven't even heard of She-Ra, well, I just don't know what to say - Ha!

Fill Your Life With Color


I love color! Any color, too. Whether its sweet and soft or vibrant and fun, I just can't resist adding it to my creations.

What's your favorite color palette?

NEW! ABAC Challenge #1: Anything Goes

It's finally here - the first challenge for the newest challenge blog on the block: Anything But A Card.

I am excited to be a part of this challenge blog, especially because it is different than all of the others. It's all about anything BUT a card.

There are so many other things that can be created, so why not stretch your creativity a little and share something besides a card with us?

 I created a little piece of crafty art. A wooden slab was covered with torn pieces of an old, well-loved romance novel. I collaged it, then embellished with twine, gold stars, "brads" & dried roses from my very own garden.

Have you made something other than a card lately? What was it? I can't wait to hear about it!
