I really like the sketch for Beate's Weekend Challenge. It gave me an opportunity to use rub-ons for the first time. I think I might have a new favorite accessory! I also used a stamp set that is featured in the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog.

Valentine Treats

I normally boycott Valentine's Day, but this year I decided to make some treats for my friends and co-workers. I think they turned out pretty good! (Special thanks to Shannon Lackmeyer from whom I shamelessley copied !)

Temping Kraft Galore!

This week's color challenge was certainly a challenge for me. I was a little skeptical of the colors at first - Green Galore, Tempting Turquoise, and Kraft. To my pleasant surprise, however, I really liked how the card turned out!

Time Well Spent

I combined the color and sketch challenges for this week. The color challenge was to use Blue Ballet, Apricot Appeal, and Real Red (I really liked this color combination!). I stamped the flower and butterfly on the blue cardstock using blue ink the camera didn't pick it up very well.
