Candy Cane Christmas card for last Friday’s SGGWWC
I’ve often talked about how I use templates for creating my cards. They give me a starting point for inspiration for my cards. Once I have a layout in mind, I can spend my time playing with my various DSP, embellishments and stamp sayings to come up with something I like. As I’ve said many times, sometime the card just falls into place […]
Greetings from Santa for FMS257

Holiday card for FMS256 challenge
I got a chance this past weekend to create a card for this past week’s FMS256 template challenge (due today, nothing like posting at the last minute!).

SGGW weekend challenge, meet my 1st Holiday card this season
I worked on this card all last weekend using the SGGW 8-12-16 weekend challenge template. I fiddled, I futzed, I cut multiple ideas, and I tossed a number of attempts. I had this vision, but none of them came together the way I wanted. One problem was my new Holiday DSP papers hadn’t been delivered yet, […]
