All too often I hear "I’m not creative, I can’t come up with anything."  And hopefully most of you know my answer to that: "you don’t have to be, that’s what the catalog is for!!"
So, to prove that I too use the catalog for inspiration for color combinations, layouts, and everything else, I’m showing you [...]

Here is one of my favorite swaps I received while at Convention.  It uses the hostess set Happiness Always and the colors are Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Summer Sun, and Chocolate Chip.  I just love everything about it – don’t you?  It was created by Kim Pohl, a demo from Minnesota.  Enjoy!

Here are some more swaps from Convention.  And both have more clean lines.  I love the way the Stars card uses the Dotted Line jumbo wheel – very clever and it works to bring the card together.  The baby card is cute but I think adding another layer of Certainly Celery as the base card [...]
