Simon Says Stamp

Something new...this embossing folder is new to me~I've never used it. In fact, I honestly don't remember how it ended up in my stash~that scares me crafty people!!!!


Do I sleep shop????


Do I~ you think????


Yikes.


Simon Says Anything Goes with Twine or String


Yes, just a few wraps of twine brightens the card further.


I AM GRATEFUL, though, for temps above zero.


Yes, that is almost balmy around these parts!


Have a blessed day friends~

Color Blocked Leaf

Color blocking has grown on me~

I was excited to see CAS-ual Fridays host a challenge highlighting it.

I used some post-it notes to block off the die cut leaf and applied Tim Holtz Distress Inks directly to the panel.

Talk about RICH color with Salty Ocean and Picked Raspberry!!!

I'm a big fan of leaves and don't want to wait for fall creations~

hope you like my take!

Thanks for stopping by friends~
