"Perfect Pair" #4…Lucky Paper and My Stickease
The fourth “Perfect Pair” available during July 16-20 is my second personal favorite of the Pairs available this month…Lucky Paper Pack and Lucky My Stickease. I love the colors in this Pair. Obviously great for masculine themes, but I don’t think it’s too much so that it can’t be used for other things. Here are…
"Perfect Pair" #3…Fanfare and Fanfare Brads
The third “Perfect Pair” available during July 11-15 is the Fanfare Paper Pack and Fanfare Level 2 Assortment. Okay…now this is one flexible “Pair”!

And here’s a…

I will be leaving to attend Close To My Heart’s Convention in one week. I’ve been busy creating swap cards…I’m over my goal of 50…yea me! I also prepared a project for a Create n Take class in which I’ll be a “Helper”. And I’m also trying to squeeze in some layouts to enter into…
"Perfect Pair" #1…Mischief and Midnight Felt Shapes
The first “Perfect Pair” available for the month of July is the Mischief Paper Pack and Midnight Felt Shapes. Obviously perfect for Halloween, like the creations my upline Sherri Tozzi created here. But there’s many things you can do with this “Perfect Pair” other than Halloween. For example, I created this card using one of the…
