I really loved a design Megan made with the Flamingo Floatie, but I wanted to use the critters from Pool Party instead. I think next time I would use bolder colors for the water. I also centered my sentiment banner forgetting that part of it was blank, so it actually ended up off center -… Continue reading Pool Party
I saw this design on Instagram (dasmimz) and had to recreate it! I made a few changes but I think it still captures the fun of summer. 😊 It took me awhile to completely figure out how to make that inner "wall" of the pool, so I thought I would include some process photos in… Continue reading Pool Party Card Recreation

It didn't take long for me to make another card with this set! This time I added a treasure map border: I'm much happier with how improved this card is even from the one I just made last month. The sand and waves have ink blended on the edges to give them more dimension and… Continue reading Ahoy, Matey! Part 2
This was my first time using the Mushroom House die and I like how it turned out for the most part. I followed a design by Nichol Spohr but made some changes. I felt like this card needed a little something more but nothing seemed right so I just left it with the house alone.… Continue reading Mushroom House
I. Love. This. Set. It's no surprise that this set has become a quick favorite of mine. I love anything to do with mysteries, treasure maps, and adventure, and this set captures that essence so cutely. No joke - it took me THREE WEEKS to make this card. I struggled with the layout a lot… Continue reading Ahoy, matey!
