Holly Jolly Release – SSS
I was so inspired (after my moment of fear!) with Tumbled Hexagon embossing folder from the Simon Says Stamp release! I ended up making quite a few cards!

Holly Jolly Release – SSS
I love a good release and Simon is known for them! When my product arrived for being apart of the design family, I was shocked at the rigidity of the envelope. I was baffled. “What sort of die did they send me”, I thought. Eager, I ripped open the package to find not a die, … Continue reading “Holly Jolly Release – SSS”

I also was suffering the worst case of pregnancy induced carpal tunnel and … Continue reading “Coloring with colored pencils”
