Smile..
Hello Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,
I have another card to share with you today. I designed this last night using my Gansai Tambi watercolor palette. I am still trying to a get a feel for these wonderfully pigmented watercolors, but I sense there is much more to be learned and explored.

Not All Who Wonder Are Lost
Happy Saturday Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,
I had an opportunity to play in my craft room this morning while my men, my hubby and our two sons, were visiting Lowe's for their weekend Little Builder's workshop. I made this Nautical themed card for both Always Playing With Paper, as well as CAS-ology's Nautical themed challenges.

Deconstructed Sketch No. 204 and Always Playing With Paper Challenges
Happy Saturday Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,
Today's card is inspired by Jen Shults' Deconstructed Sketch No. 204. I just had to play along this week as we say good-bye to the Deconstructed Sketch. I have enjoyed receiving Jen's weekly sketch inspiration in my email inbox for the past year and a half. Jen's sketches are a wonderful way to get excited about trying a new card design and playing with paper. I want to thank Jen for all she has done. It is because of Jen, I was introduced to Taylored Expressions and many other wonderful designers. Thank you for inspiring me, Jen, and helping me to become a better card designer. I will miss your weekly sketches. Best of luck on your new crafting journey =)

Happy Birthday...I Am Seeing Spots (SSS Wednesday Challenge and 30 Day Color Challenge)
Happy Friday Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,
I hope you are having fun in your craft rooms. I have been faithfully following Kathy Rascoosin, at The Daily Marker, for the 30 Day Color Challenge. The Color Challenge has definitely encouraged me to play with my Copics and new set of Gansai Tambi watercolors. I am enjoying coloring, most of the time. Other times, I feel a little stressed as I am broadening my horizons.
On days eight and 18, Kathy did several cards featuring geometric designs and it inspired me to play with a new stamp that I wanted, but shelved =( So sad. Here is my finished card.

Father's Day Inspiration
Hello Fellow crafters and scrappers,
Father's Day is quickly approaching and for once I am on top of my game! Wahoo! Usually, I am scrambling to design and create my Father's Day cards. However, today I am sharing with you a card I created for my sweet husband using Taylored Expressions' All The Fixings stamp and die combination, along with the Pegboard die.

Taylored Expressions...Happy Hello
Happy Monday Taylored Expressions Fans!
Are you ready for a little Monday morning inspiration? Today I am sharing with you the Sip, Sip, Horray stamp set and coordinating dies. I know I write this frequently, but I am in love with this set. There are two umbrellas, either a beach umbrella or a fruit stand umbrella and they are both just too cute.

Hello Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,
Happy Sunday! I made a card for the Pretty Pink Posh Watercolor Blog Hop. I am excited to play. I have been following the 30 Day Color Challenge, and Kathy mentioned the blog hop as great opportunity to share our love of color with fellow crafters. To create my card, I used Gansai Tambi 36 watercolor palette and WPlus9's Unforgettable stamp and die combination. The clouds were die cut using Taylored Expressions' Build A Scene Rolling Clouds die.

The Daily Marker: 30 Day Coloring Challenge...Copics
Hello,
Well I made it. Barely. However, I was determined because Kathy at The Daily Marker is inspiring me and all her fans to break out their markers, watercolors, crayons, etcetera and color their world. It doesn't have to be a completed project, but it does require one to take a moment and color. It's that simple. So, I did. I was inspired to work on a card for my dear friend's son, Zack. He really is a super star and I wanted him to know it!
