I'm entering this in the current Lawn Fawnatics challenge. I was inspired by Grace on the Lawn Fawn DT. I changed the colors to suit the school my recipient was retiring from so that it would all be themed purple, but I loved her original design with the rainbow. I think it makes the color… Continue reading Magic Color Slider Retirement Card

Sew Very Mice
This one is definitely a favorite of mine that I've made. That Flower Market paper is my favorite paper pack ever, as I said so many times last year when it came out, and it's so perfect for this card. This was inspired by a design by Caly and then I added a lot more… Continue reading Sew Very Mice
Love To Layer Decorative Brackets
This is a simple card but I really liked how it came out. I love the layering dies and how they add so much to a very simple design.

Snow One Like You
I saw this design by Christiana Reuling and thought it was so cute and had to make my own. When she shared pics of the card she made, she had it laying on a purple envelope. It looked so good that I decided to make the card base purple in my version. 😊 Here is… Continue reading Snow One Like You

Mermazing Mermaid
I really love the way this card turned out. The sun ray stenciled background is just so pretty, and then to have the nice sparkles popping out on the mermaid, and to top it off with the embossed sentiment looking all shiny and 3D, everything came together so well. I did originally try to add… Continue reading Mermazing Mermaid

I had a request for a dino-themed baby card and I'm so happy with how this turned out! I was inspired by a card Tammy made.
