I finally got my hands on some Reverse Confetti stamps so I inked them up just in time for the current Sketch For You To Try: 

 

I've been playing with my new set of Zig Clean Color Brush pens and this image was a great way to test out some colour combos. It's interesting what happens when you add water to them... Sometimes the colours do things you wouldn't expect- but that's the fun part about learning. 

 

White embossing was definitely the right way to go with this card and I really love how soft and pretty it ended up looking. 

 

The school year is very late this year - June 29th is my last day and MAN time is going slow... 

Pretty soon I'll be flying back to Canada to see my son again and spend time with friends and family. 

In the meantime, I've been plugging away at my craft desk, filling orders and getting some last-minute design work done... Check out today's card: 

I'm so excited to announce I'll be designing for SRM again! I was with them way back in 2010 when they had their first design team call and WOW, Susan has really transformed her business and product offerings over the years! It's so exciting to not only be working with the stickers that have made SRM a crafter's staple, but now she has stamps, vinyl, coloring mediums, twine, packaging and so much more. I'm looking forward to the next year!

Who doesn't love roasting marshmallows over a campfire?! 

The sights, the sounds, the smells - it's all an intoxicating reminder of how great summer is.

My go-to recipe for Dad-cards is this: 

1 - start with a graphic piece of patterned paper with a great colour combo (stripes)

2- No colouring, just a cool and funky stamp that will make Dad chuckle. 

3- find some twine that coordinates with the colours.. 

I really love masculine cards... No muss, no fuss!

Have a great Father's Day! 

Stamp set:
Man Day by Technique Tuesday

A day to celebrate the special men in our lives - I just wish sometimes I lived on the same continent as my father. I get to see him in a few weeks and THEN I will wish him a Happy Father's Day!! 

Wedding season has arrived and it's time for me to start building my stash! 

Today I used the pretty colour combo from the current MFT Color Challenge as a starting point for this elegant card:
