"Friend You Lift Me Up" Center Step Card
Today’s card is one that I made for the last Cards, Etc. workshop. I wanted to challenge my ladies with some watercoloring, but truth be told, I was a little nervous that I was pushing it and that they may revolt. 🙂 So I offered them some other coloring alternatives, like colored pencils and blender…
Tuesday Tutorial
I’m realizing just how noisy it is around here ALL. THE. TIME. It’s really starting to get to me, I think. One of the things I loved about being off in the summer was all the quiet time in the house. Even with the kids being home, they often would play outside, hang in…

Joy Fold Card
I created this card for this month’s Cards, Etc. class. I wanted to incorporate a fancy fold with the Stamp of the Month, so I began searching for inspiration. I found this tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers and this card on Google images and came up with this… I cut the Slate base at 4 1/4″…
