Hello! I am the guest blogger over on Paper Crafts Connections today and talking about taking small “technique squares” and turning them easily into cards. I really feel making small “canvases” (3×3 or 3×4) is a great way to try out techniques or use small images. Then just pop them on a card and you [...]
Hello! I have been getting a lot of questions about my Tips, Tools and Techniques on Distress Markers from the September/October issue of Paper Crafts. So I thought I would share here a bit more about each project. Here are the projects – each showing a different way to use Distress Markers. These markers are [...]
Hey there. I am posting over on the Paper Crafts blog today and have a video to go with my projects. (Be sure to head THERE for the main post and more info.) The video shows three ways to create your own “metal” accents – 3 different ones… Here is a look at the cards [...]

But better late then never… Welcome to the new Summer Distress Inks. Bright. Cheery. Happy. Perfect for [...]
So, I have been waiting for a long time (just like I have been to give birth – ha) to share a video on Distress Markers. In fact, I did this video almost two months ago! But I didn’t want to share any love for this product until they were back in stock at stores. [...]
Hello! Just popping in to share a card. This was a card I created for class, but didn’t like. But I never pitch anything – I figure every card (good or bad) will makes someone smile when they get it in the mail. This one uses a new technique I shared over in the Clean [...]
