This was the original card layout I had in mind last week hoping that I could adapt it to the upcoming FMS350 sketch. I posted my final FMS350 here, but today I wanted to share the original card I designed. I used the earlier FMS347 sketch (I didn’t get to post a card for that […]
Annual Catalog
Ah, FMS350 didn’t disappoint me!
I was hoping that this week’s FMS sketch would fit the card idea floating in my head and it did! I was out of town until Sunday, so I didn’t have a lot of time to put my card together in time for the challenge. I made another Animal Expedition card, this time with the […]
Tropical Chic – a CASE for FMS348
I’m loving the Tropical Escape suite of products, have you figured that one out yet?! Today’s cards are a CASE from Amy O’Neill’s FMS348 sketch card from several weeks ago. I loved her idea using the Tropical thinlits dies to create her unique card. I kept coming back to it again and again and finally […]

WOW…July already. Where have the months gone since my last post? I thought I’d have lots of time to paper craft when I retired in February from my full-time career as a nutrition researcher. But it seems there are so many things I need to do as I try to fully slip into retirement – isn’t […]
