I used my favorite Gorjuss Girl stamp, colored pencils and CTMH papers for my blog hop entry. Take a look at my other creations and if you like what you see sign up to follow my blog.

Happy Creating!

fairy card

I created this card for the February sketch challenge over on Smeared & Smudged. The stamp is from Prickley Pear and the papers, inks and dandylion stamp are from CTMH. I also used a gel pen and prisma glitter on the wings.

matching cards

Had to whip out some cards really fast so chose the paper and basic layout and just added different stamps :)

a must-read

I just finished this book tonight and I'm ready to read it again. One of the girls at work was reading this and was telling me about the story. I got chills just hearing about it, now after reading it I've still got the chills. It's an amazing book. I can't even begin to put into words how it touched me...
