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! This time I broke out my shimmer powders again and went to town! I used the colors Cherry Bomb, Lunar Rocket and Atlantis Burst. I think Atlantis … Continue reading “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 also was suffering the worst case of pregnancy induced carpal tunnel and … Continue reading “Coloring with colored pencils”
