A couple of weeks ago we celebrated my granddaughter Molly’s 1st birthday and this is the card I made for her. I used a sweet image from Mo’s Digital Pencil and based the color scheme on the beautiful shades of purple from the Boardwalk Monochromatic Family. The digital image was printed on One Sheet Wonder, [...]
Pitter patter, pitter patter, drip, drip, drop! Today was a wonderful day to pull out Couture Cardstock’s Rainy Day Monochromatic Family. I found myself completely inspired while listening to the soft sounds of a spring rain, and immersed myself in creating with the kaleidoscope of greens and blues found within this collection. A soothing and [...]
I enjoy scraplifting, especially when the layout I am lifting is one that I love. So last week, I decided to lift one of Heidi Kelley’s layouts. I was struggling a little with lack of mojo (anyone relate?) and needed a boost to get me going again. I chose to lift this layout, which Heidi [...]
Being a girl raised in the South (GRITS), I love the warm weather. In particular, I love summer! And I love the colors of summer. So this week I chose to use those bright, warm colors on a flower, and by maintaining a good bit of white space for the background, the flower really pops! [...]

[...]
When I see the color brown, I immediately think warmth and wholesomeness. With this in mind, and in working with the Confectionary Monochromatic Collection this week, I found myself creating a layout about my son’s foot in the grass… and some of the things that I hope for in his future. Then after creating this [...]
There’s nothing fresher than spring, or the color white. And when you combine them…wow! Even though I only used white cardstock for this card, the textures of it are a feast for the eyes, and to the touch. And doesn’t the colored image just pop? The card base is Lineal, the flower and frame are [...]
Today I am supposed to be bringing you a layout created with the White Monochromatic Family. I could do that, but I created a layout with the Rainy Day Monochromatic Family that I love too much not to share it with you. I hope no one minds the change! My children are in the habit [...]
Whenever anyone asks me what my favorite colors are, I reply with white and black. And almost always they respond by telling me that neither qualify as color.
