If you watch my Instagram, you’ve noticed that I’ve been doing a lot of coloring lately. That’s all thanks to the Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I love this challenge for forcing me to sit down and practice my coloring every day. (Yes I know that sounds crazy.) When you bounce between crafts the way I do, it’s easy for some …
Evie’s Cinderella Shaker Card
Okay. I made this card in September of 2015, and never got around to writing about it. But I still love it, so here you go. It’s possible that the horrible lighting and hideous wood-paneled walls at the house we used to live in played a role in why I blogged so little…but anyway. At the time, the stamp and die were …
This is the Year

Sparkling Mini-Album
I couldn’t wait until next week to show off my entry for glitter week on SYTYC. I love it so much. Competition was stiff this week, but I *just* made it through, so MAJOR thanks to everyone who voted. If you’d like to make one of these for yourself, you can check out my tutorials on coloring with Copics on glitter …
