Today brings my last card as Guest Designer on The Paper Players. Lesley and Team have been such fun to work with this month. They are a bright, talented and extremely organized group that, I dare to say, rivals any DT out there. I was honoured to serve with them for August and hope there [...]

But this time it’s a challenging colour challenge: I totally didn’t know where I was going to start with this one. Which colour do I make the focal colour? They are all so bright!

Only three more non-winning projects to share with you all! Here is my little Halloween project. I love making Halloween cards (don’t really use them but LOVE them).
