Is that time of the month when we give cards a week free to make other type of projects. I love making layouts and I plan to do a whole lot more. For those of you, brave people who are making the LOAD (Layout A Day) Project I hope you […]
This week at Tombow is Designer’s Choice and since I love making layouts all I needed was a photo.The other day I was going through some High School pictures and thinking about how things were back then. So I made this layout documenting some of my favorite things at the […]
Sometimes we hold onto supplies long enough that they become the perfect thing we need to finish a project. such as it was this time with this vellum quote…”truly, madly, deeply”. luckily i had on hand my Tombow MONO Clear Adhesive Runner. take a close look…can’t see it can […]
watching as a child learns how to write is one of the most enjoyable feelings for me. they are so excited with their accomplishments and are willing to show it off to everyone and anyone. usually their name comes first. they write it over and over…sometimes in not so appropriate […]
Is ABC Week at Tombow so this week cards are on vacation. We are also working with the color Blue Iris so I wanted to make a really blue layout and I found this picture of my husband and what is more blue than an Aquarium. The original base is just […]

i never really paid attention before to “the color of the year” or even “Pantone colors” before… but this month’s challenges have had me digging to find the perfect shade of paper or embellishment to match said colors. in the end i’ve come up short and needed to create something […]
the color of the year…tangerine! funny thing, i don’t have very much of this color! looks like i’m going to need to pick some up! i liked using this color with these pictures from this past summer. they needed a bright vibrant color background to set them off. i […]
How do I get ready for the holidays?? To be honest I am always behind, except when it comes to shopping. I hate to be in lines for hours so I always do my shopping at the beginning of November. But I work on cards two weeks before Christmas. Since I don’t do […]
