Happy Tuesday everyone! This is going to be short and sweet…still fighting the pneumonia…not much energy for anything.
I so enjoy the inspiration challenges. There are usually so many ways you can go with it and it is always interesting to see how Connie and I decided to use the inspiration.
Oh it’s Thursday! I’m so glad it is! Not only is it Friday Eve but we have an AWESOME sketch inspiration for you on Create with Connie and Mary!
We have good news and we have bad news…and it’s the same news…it’s Monday!
It’s time again for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Inspiration. This week we have a fun color combo: Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist, Garden Green and there was a perfect print in the Tutti Frutti dsp pack! What fun!
Yep…it’s Tuesday and this Tuesday it’s time for another SUO Challenge. Our theme this time is to CASE a card from the catalog. I chose one of of the Fox and Friends cards from page 105.
Happy Monday! You know that best thing about Mondays now is the Inspiration Challenge.
