Happy first day of February everyone! On month of winter behind us…YAY!!!! The Create with Connie and Mary Thursday inspiration is a cool color challenge and I decided to celebrate being one month closer to spring with the cool butterfly from Beautiful Day (well…that and the fact that I had this butterfly done and sitting on top of my desk!). …
What an EASY theme we have for the SUO Challenge this time. Our theme is feminine and there is just sooooo many different ways you can go with this! With this theme the first thing that came to mind was the Beautiful You set. It is just such a pretty set and oh so feminine. With everything going on this …
One set that I just HAD to have when the last new catalog came out was the Weather Together set. I just LOVE the umbrella in this! I have used the umbrella on a couple different cards but as I was working on getting some cards together for this month I decided I wanted to us this one (okay…that and …

I didn’t want to use any of the greetings that came with …

Okay…so here is my second card using a VERY CAS design and the fabulous Beautiful You set. If you missed by first card, you can check it out here. I wanted to come up with a design that is so very simple yet really stylish and works with the 3 main images in this set. This one just makes me …
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it, but my husband and I are working on downsizing our home and belongings and moving to a smaller place south of Dayton.

This week we have a color inspiration for you – Peek-a-boo Peach, Crumb Cake and Dapper Denim…what a pretty combo.
