Today, Vee shows us her beautiful use of the H2O Monochromatic Family. I love her use of color wash! The stitching and the other details give her page a great artistic edge. I never would have thought of using these colors with a fall photo, but I love how she works it out! Couture Cardstock [...]

Today, I want to share a bit of a creative nudge with you. When I get “scrappers block” one of the things that helps me get my creativity flowing again is to create a few embellishments of my own design. The pressure to finish a layout or card is lifted, and I can just have [...]
Since we have been talking about the Red Carpet Collection, I thought that a challenge involving bling and the color red was in order. When you sit down to create (hopefully) today, here is an idea to get you started. Take out something red, then take out some bling, and use them together on a [...]
