So my first priority… Read More: Try Stampin on Tuesday #49 »
Happy 100th Birthday Just Add Ink! This weeks’ challenge at JAI was to use a crown somewhere in your project. Now I don’t own any stamp sets with a crown so had to borrow the set Clearly for You from my friend – thanks Deb. I found this a hard one but this is layout… Read More: Just Add Ink #100 »

Hi there This weeks card first started out as a buckle card but when I was putting the pieces together it just didn’t look right so it sat on my craft desk for a few days. Then on Wednesday morning I checked to see what sketch Cheryl Ann had for us and it all just… Read More: Try Stampin on Tuesday #47 »
