Sponging With Inkssentials!

Here's a new tool to use instead of sponges! It's cleaner, neater, and even sweeter! One of the great things about the Inkssentials tool is that it is easy change colors thanks to the removable velcro pads. But, to learn more about it yourself, just check out the video I made!

Thanks,

Card Group

These are the cards from my last card group! Aren't they cute? This is the group that I am privlaged to be in with my oldest daughter. Just having her there makes it much more fun! We have always had similar intrests, and I love being around her.

Fun with Mats

I wanted a new way to scrapbook my pictures and display them in my home. So, I took a bunch of mats and started to add some personal touches to give them some flare. You know how it is when you are paper crafters...a mat just isn't good enough, its just got to be cuter.

Some of the mats already had its own texture, so I just antiqued the mat with distress ink pad. On others, I used embelishments, or just used stamp patterns. Take a look at what I came up with and let me know what you think.
