When pieces become the main attraction.
You’ve heard the phrase one man’s trash is another’s treasure? Well, in this case, the scraps become the main attraction.

Cards and a wash.
Penny is recovering but still has a bit to go. I am putting together a care package for her by mid next week. This means cards and gift cards for dinner.

It’s amazing to me how a different color of cardstock or a different pattern of designer series paper can make a card look so different. Paper can make a card or project appear masculine, feminine, or somewhere in between. So before you throw away that project that just doesn’t seem to want to come togetherContinue reading “Simple details to complete a card.”

Glue dots can be used to group items.
Just when you thought the mini glue dots were small and they couldn’t do more, here is another idea. Take your paper piercer and place a glue dot at the end of it.
