The vision of my card kinda changed along the way… I like to think of it as evolving (I’m sure you know what I mean). So this is my take on the current Card Positioning Systems Sketch. CPS #213 Thanks…

Thinking of You CSC26
I couldn’t help myself when I saw the new ‘Curio’ paper pad from Basic Grey. It is beautiful! I just love that vintage look but it is not a style of card that comes easy to me. When I saw the…

Here’s my big news – I’ve been published! I am so so so very excited that my cards were accepted by Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine. And even more fabulously (is that a word?) these cards are doing a little tour with the…
Get Well Soon
I always delay making male cards for as long as possible – but when I think about it they are quite simple. Maybe it’s the lack of glitter, butterflies, flowers, bows… the things that find their way onto most of…
