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 …
30 Day Coloring Challenge: Day 1 (and 2)
I’ve been thinking a lot about this blog lately. One of my goals for my maternity leave was to revive it, and now that leave’s about half over, I figure it’s time to stop thinking about it and start working on it.

Style Girl Card With Cosmo Cricket Social Club
Sharing a couple of old(er) favorites today. The Social Club line from Cosmo Cricket is at least a year old (maybe two), but it’s still one of my favorites for the colors and patterns. And it goes perfectly with Pink Persimmon’s Style Girl. I wish I had a dress like this. I’ll be honest, I colored this long ago. But …
