will i never be caught up with my calendar journal?

Here is the current status of my March page… …and a close-up. Not exactly turning out as I had imagined. It was supposed to be pale, with blue, green, and purple as the color theme. I wanted to do some stamping in white over the background, but the white was too light. I got the [...]

halloween inchie #29.

What a snowy day! I don’t remember it snowing this much in October before. I do love the snow (I am a crazy weather-loving girl, that’s for sure). We lost power for about two hours, after we got back from food shopping. Around four o’clock I realized, it’s going to be dark soon – I [...]

halloween inchie #5.

This is a simple inchie…I was feeling a bit more pressed for time with this one. I pressed the inchie blank into my antique linen Distress Ink pad, and then ran the edges over my walnut Distress Ink pad (I just love these two ink pads – where would I be without them?). The black-and-white-polka [...]
