as you see it - can't wait to see whats around the corner


hello and welcome to fri-YAY and the weekend...they sure don't roll around fast enough, do they? This weeks as you see it challenge is something borrowed, I borrowed the idea to use washi tape as a background page/designer paper. The flowery piece is washi tape from simple stories, I then used alcohol ink for the top and added a sweet red flower that I had in my stash box. Be sure to check out the rest of the design teams creations, these ladies are awesome!

inspired by - love


hello friends and welcoem to another fabulous week of inspired by, these ladies are amazing and the inspiration pics are so fun! I was inspired by the plaid tea towels on the line and of course the clothes line itself. I created a little banner using the letter from a pink fresh sticker pack. I used time holtz distressed ink to stencil the plaid background which is also a tim holtz stencil and the fun stamp market flowers were in my little stash box. I hope you have an amazing day and make time to play along with us!

as you see it - be you


hello friends and happy friday....I luv friday's, don;t you? I had such fun with this card, adding a few layers with embossing paste, washi tape, and designer paper. I faux watercolored the flowers....stamp on watercolor paper with distress inks and then spritz with water. It really is a quick and easy way to get a watercolor affect. I added the cut out sentiment and a few enamel dots and enamel hearts. I hope you play along with us and have a wonderful weekend!

Be sure to check out the Simon Says Stamp Store!


Hello and welcome to this weeks simon says stamp wednesday challenge, this week we are challenging you to die cutting...what an array of choices you have for this challenge! The design team is using products from penny black, some super fun dies in their stock, check'em out! Don't forgot every week at Simon Says Stamp we give away a $50 voucher...wooohooo....now that is worth playing for!




hello friends, we are adding a die cut or two today. I am luvin, I mean truly luvin this leaf die from penny black called berry branch...so sweet with the berries. We all know I luv flowers, but I have a confession...I secretly luv leaves just as much! I like pairing different leaves and flowers together...eeeehhhh. I enjoy creating a few extras when I am stamping and then add them to my little box of goodies/leftovers. When I need a quick card, I reach for it every time and pick out a cute little combo! I used the frame die cut from polka dotted paper, added it to the watercolor splash background, and layered it all for a fun card! I can't wait to see what you create!

as you see it - hey, hi, hello there


hello friends, happy friday...don't ya just luv fridays?.....they are my favorite day of the week if I am not working the weekend...ha! I am in the heart mood, I luv making cards with hearts anytime, but really enjoy pulling them at around valentine's, most of us do not need a lot of valentine's day cards so I like to incorporate the hearts with my cards and a general sentiment. I have used the gorgeous flower and leaf from the stamp market, called the watercolor bouquet stamp and cut bundle....one of my favorite flowers! I then used my favorite heart die from lil inker to cut it out to expose the sweet flower, luv the way it turned out! Of course I added it all to a piece of watercolor paper that I had swooshed some ink on, so pretty and easy. I cannot wait to see what you create with this weeks sketch! Don't forget to check out the rest of the teams creations for even more inspiration.

winter wonderland

I have used the amazing snowflake die(no longer available)from the stamp market, how do you not use this beauty on it's own...it is stunning! I sponged it with a bit of tim holtz grey ink and then covered it with glitter. The background is watercolored with a watercolor splash...put ink on a piece of acetate with water and smear it on your paper...luv the results!

cozy christmas


I do not know where my mojo has gone, it has gotten up and went. I did not get the christmas cards I wanted to make made; so I had to send some store bought cards...I know, shame on me. I have a few that had to be homemade and this is one of them. I have used the awesome stamp market set called botanicals stamp and cut bundle and created it to be like a poinsettia...I luv the stamp market! I faux watercolored by spritzing the paper with water and then stamping with tim holtz distress inks. I added glitter and a few sequins. The cozy christmas sentiment is from neat and tangled winter wishes set. i hope you are enjoying your time preparing for christmas, such an exciting time of year!

words with meaning - get cozy this christmas!
