~AUTHENTIQUE AND BORDER PUNCHES~

I was able to snag some great deals on punches recently.

Martha Stewart's Caning punch comes in handy when you want to punch wherever.

Hence the name "All over the page" punch. ;)

We had SNOW yesterday, people....so I'm pretty obsessed with sunshine today. ;)


I didn't want ANYTHING to block those windows I created.

ANYTHING.

Runway Inspired Challenge:#10

I have grown to love orange (it's my husband's favorite color).

I used a gray ribbon to represent the "waist" on this dress, and as for gold...



check out the shine on the embossing (and gold thread).

YES! SUNSHINE! We will take it!!!


Have a great day...happy crafting. ;)

~Forget the Scale~

I got inspired by the dreaded "scale" at the back of a hosiery envelope.

I cut it out to save for a card.

This is what popped in my head:

I know I will need to encourage some girlfriend by spring.

That girlfriend could be me!   LOL

I've already put on a few since Thanksgiving...sigh

A couple of challenges helped me get this card done:
